down. They are numbered for reference, and 

 dates of ripening added, 



" No. 1. August 10th. An orange Nectarine 

 from Fairchild's Early. Liable to crack. 



" No. 2. August 10th. A seedling from Early 

 York, but having leaves with glands, and thus not 

 liable to mildew. Flowers large, like the parent, 

 and the only one out of twenty which deviated 

 from the parent stock. 



" No. 3. Oct. 1st. A seedling from a yellow 

 clingstone. Small but rich, with large flowers. 



" No. 4. Sept. 20th. A very large clingstone 

 from Early York, in the third generation. This is 

 a remarkable variation, with the large flowers of 

 the race. 



" No. 5. Sept. 4th. A Peach raised from the 

 Balgowan Nectarine. Small, rich, with small 

 flowers. 



" No. 6. August 16th« A large Peach from 

 Peche Deniaux. Of a delicate cream colour, 

 slightly tinted with red under the skin ; firm flesh, 

 and delicious aroma. The parent I found in a 

 small nursery in Brittany as a robust standard. 

 This remarkable Peach has been since named Dr. 

 Hogg, and is first-rate. 



" No. 7. August 18th. A large and deep crim- 

 son seedling from Belle Bausse, differing from it 

 in its flowers. Called the Crimson Mignonne.
