a smooth leaf, and the Newington a jagged one, which is one 

 of the most essential differences by which these two excellent 

 fruits are distinguishable from each other. 



7. Murry Nectarine is of a reddish colour toward the 

 sun, and of a pale green toward the wall. This fruit has a 

 tolerably good flavour, and ripens about the middle of Sep- 

 tember. 



8. Temple's Nectarine is of a middle size, of a pale red 

 colour toward the sun, and of a yellowish cast next the wall. 

 This fruit, when quite ripe, shrivels : the pulp is then full of 

 rich juice of a fine flavour. It ripens about the middle of Sep- 

 tember, or beginning of October. 



9. ^Golden Nectarine. This is a handsome fruit of a 

 soft red colour toward the sun, and yellow on the other side. 

 It has a rich flavour, and is ripe about the beginning of Oc- 

 tober. 



10. The Peterborough, or Late Green Nectarine (called 

 also the Vermash), is of a middle size, round shape, and al- 

 ways of a green colour ; the flesh is firm, and in a good season, 

 tolerably well flavoured. It ripens about the middle of Oc- 

 tober. 



11. The Violet Nectarine is of a middle size, and a purple 

 colour next the sun, but pale on the other side j it has a vinous 

 flavour, and ripens in the latter end of August, or beginning of 

 September.

Of the Management of Nectarines. 



It is unnecessary to say much on this head, as the man- 

 agement of nectarines is almost the same as that of peaches.
