VARIATIONS OF PEACHES AND NECTARINES. 161 



I mention this clingstone, passing over many 

 others, as being, unlike its parent stock, very juicy. 

 Flowers small. 



"No. 14. August 10th. The Early Silver 

 Peach, the first generation from the New White 

 Nectarine. One of the most beautiful Peaches. 

 Skin pale silver, pink-tinted. It is the parent of 

 many seedlings, all of high character. 



"No. 15. Sept. 8th. A large late Nectarine 

 from the Elruge, with the Stanwick flavour. It is 

 most curious to note the influence of the Stanwick 

 on the flavour of seedlings, as if the pollen of this 

 peculiar sort had effected a radical change in their 

 character, reminding one of the introduction of 

 the Black Cap Raspberry from America, which 

 has stained all our autumnal Raspberries. Flowers 

 small. 



" No. 16. August 28th. A large orange Nec- 

 tarine originating from Hardwicke Seedling, which 

 is of a totally different character, and itself also 

 differing from its parent, the Elruge. Flow'ers 

 large. 



" No, 17. August 26th. A large green Nec- 

 tarine, a freestone, raised from the Roman, which 

 is a clingstone. The flavour is much influenced 

 by the Stanwick cross. 



" No. 18. A large seedling Peach from the 

 Noblesse. Much like its parent in texture, but,
