Havannah, Smooth (Green Havannah, Antigua 

 Aurantiaca.)— Spines none. Colour of flower purple. 

 Form of fruit cylindrical. Quality second-rate. Average 

 weight 4lbs. The leaves of this are rather less 

 robust than those of the Common or Brown Havan- 

 nah, and of less robust growth, rather more tinged 

 with brown, and much more mealy. The fruit is of 

 the same form and appearance as the Havannah, but 

 is seldom so large. The flesh is of the same colour 

 and consistency, but abounds with a rich, sweet, 

 highly flavoured juice. The crown is generally con- 

 siderably smaller than in that sort. The origin of 

 this pine is unknown, it is not however of recent 

 origin or introduction, having been grown for a con- 

 siderable length of time in the pine stoves of different 

 parts of England.

 Montserrat of some). — Average weight 4lbs. Best 

 winter pine. Leaves rather long and narrow, 

 slighty spreading, and somewhat keel-shaped, of a 

 dull green, tinged with a dark brown colour, and 

 rather mealy. Spines small, short, regular, and 

 thinly set. Flowers, purple. Fruit, oval, not much 

 lengthened, rather compressed at the ends ; colour, 

 before ripening, very dark olive ; afterwards a dark 

 orange, inclining to that of copper. Pips, roundish, 

 irregularly angular, about the middle size, rather 

 prominent at the margins and concave in the centre. 

 Scales, covering one-third the pips, and terminating 

 in lengthened points. Flesh, pale yellow, opaque, 

 firm, slightly stringy, very rich, juicy, and high 

 flavoured. Crown, large, spreading, and very mealy.
