THE NECTARINE. 



Newington. 



Scarlet Newington. Anderson's. 



Scarlet. Anderson's Round. 



Old Newington. Rough Roman. 



Smith's Newington. Brugnon de Newington. 



French Newington. D'Angleterre. 

 Sion HiU. 



A very good clingstone Nectarine, of English origin. It should be 

 allowed to hang on the tree till it begins to shrivel, when the flavor is 

 much improved. Leaves serrated, without glands. Flowers large. 



Fruit rather large, roundish. Skin pale greenish yellow, nearly cov- 

 ered with red, marbled with dark red. Flesh firm, pale, but deep red 

 next the stone, juicy, sw r eet, and rich, w r ith an excellent vinous flavor. 

 Ripens about the 10th of September. 



New White. 



Neat's White. Flanders. 

 Cowdray White. Emerton's New White. 



Large White. 



The New White is a fine light-skinned variety. Leaves with reni- 

 form glands. Flowers large. 



Fruit rather large, nearly round. Skin white, with occasionally a 

 slight tinge of red when exposed. Flesh white, tender, very juicy, with 

 a rich, vinous flavor. The stone is small. Separates freely. Ripens 

 early in September. 



Old White. 



This Nectarine is supposed to have been introduced from Asia into 

 England about sixty years ago. It is much like the foregoing in flavor, 

 perhaps a little richer, but it is less hardy and productive. Leaves with 

 reniform glands. Flowers large. 



Fruit rather large, roundish oval. Skin white, slightly tinged with 

 red. Flesh white, tender, juicy, and rich. Separates freely from the 

 stone. Early in September. 



Peterborough. 

 Late Green. Vermash. 



This is the latest Nectarine known. It is rather small, and of infe- 

 rior quality, and scarcely deserves cultivation except to make complete 

 a large collection. Leaves with reniform glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit rather small, roundish. Skin mostly green, or slightly tinged 

 with dingy red on the sunny side. Flesh greenish white to the stone, 

 somewhat juicy, and of tolerable flavor. Separates freely from the stone. 

 It ripens early in October.
