noir 4 Feuilles de Pécher, Fr. (N. Du Ham., 5. p. 172. t. 52. f. 1.; 
and our fig. 434.)—Leaves ovate and short, or lanceolate, with small 
lobes. Flesh of the fruit red, variegated with pale yellow. In the 
Nouveau Du Hamel, it is stated to be a very slight variety, which 
can only be continued by budding. 
The rough-fruited apricot merits cultivation for its flowers, which are gene- 
rally white, but which, in this country, from the earliness of their appearance, 
are not often succeeded by fruit, unless the tree is planted against a wall, where 
it can be protected by netting from the spring frosts.
