CULTTJB.E UNDEK GLASS. 261 



Golden Eagle, a beautiful yellow, or rather golden fleshed peach, of 

 great size. 



The well known Barrington peach ia also well adapted for cool treat- 

 ment, so as to come in late. And the two Admirables, the Late and 

 Wallburton, are too well known to need further notice here.

X. — Varieties for Early Foreing. 



Many of those already recommended for growing out of doors are alsoi 

 the finest for cultivation > under glass, as well as for early forcing. It 

 would be difScult, for example, to choose three better forcing peaches 

 than the Eoyal George, Noblesse, and Violette Hative ; or three better 

 nectarines than the Violette Hative, Elruge, and Balgowan^ Still almost 

 a month may be gained — a matter of great moment — by selecting the 

 following, varieties instead of these. Few of them are perhaps quite 

 equal in general merit to the above well proved popular varieties. But 

 a month or six weeks earlier covers a multitude of faults, though thei 

 following, sorts have but few failings— the majority of them none : 



Early Beatrice. I Early Bivers. I Hales' Early. 



Early Louise. | Bivers' Early York. { Alexander. 



The latter, an l^merican variety, hardly as yet known in this country,: but 

 said to be earlier than even the Early Beatrice ; and if so, ripening in the 

 open air early in June. 



Nectaeines. 



Fairchild's Early. I Hunt's Tawny. . I Bivers' New White. 

 Lord Napier. | Advance. * | Early Newington. 



By the aid of these early and late varieties peaches may be gathered in. 

 the open air from June to November, and possibly, by the aid of forcing 

 and retarding houses, from March to January, thus girdling round nine. 

 or ten months out of the twelve with peaches and nectarines.
