middle-sized fruit, broader at the base than at the apex ; 

 in colour, pale yellowish-green on the shady side, and 

 dark red, mottled with pale brown dots, on the sunny 

 side. The flesh is pale yellowish-green, changing to red 

 near the stone. The stone separates readily from the 

 flesh ; it is middle-sized, roundish, and rough ; the fissures 

 on the stone are not very deep or sharp, and rays of red 

 pass from them into the flesh. The leaves are crenate, 

 with reniform glands, and the bloom is bright red, and 

 small in size. This excellent nectarine ripens from the 

 end of August to the middle of September, and it is 

 so good that no garden ought to be without it, if by any 

 means a bit of wall for a wall fruit tree can be found. 

 It was of Prench origin, but it has long been known in 

 England, according to Lindley, under the name of Yiolet 

 simply. As Yiolette Hative it is well known to our 

 nurserymen, and the name is much better applied than 

 to the peach so called, although that is equally well 

 known. 



The New White is a nice nectarine, tender, juicy, and 

 fine-flavoured, with a small stone, from which the flesh 

 separates easily. It is middle-sized, such a pale, yel- 

 lowish-green as to be almost white on the shady side, 

 and tiDged with red towards the sun. The leaves are 

 €renate, with reniform glands, the blossom is large, and 

 this nectarine does very well upon the muscle stock. 

 It ripens the end of August and beginning of Sep- 

 tember. 



The Early JSTewington is a sweet, nice-flavoured 

 nectarine, rather below the middle size, a little flattened 

 on one side of the suture, and fuller on the other, 

 narrowing towards the apex, and terminating with an 

 acute nipple. It is dark red, especially on the sunny 

 side, and covered with a delicate bloom. The flesh is 

 greenish-white, and red round the stone, to which it 

 adheres firmly. The leaves are doubly serrated, without 

 glands, and the bloom is large. It is in use the end of 

 August and beginning of September. Several Newing- 

 ton nectarines are named, but there seems no reason to 

 doubt that Early Newington, Early Black Newington,
