Enville Sugar-loaf. ib. No. 32. 



Leaves not very long, but rather broad and strong, slightly keel-shaped, somewhat re- 

 curved, of a bluish green and remarkably mealy, spines middle sized, thickly set and 

 very irregular. Flowers lilac. Fruit pyramidal, of a dark purple tinged with a brownish 

 red before ripening and very mealy, afterwards of a deep reddish yellow, with pale copper 

 coloured scales which cover about one third of the pips, and terminate in lengthened 

 acute points. Pips generally about the middle size and slightly prominent. Flesh 

 almost white, opaque, soft and melting, without much fibre, juicy, rather rich and sweet 

 with a peculiar and pleasant perfume. Crown small, often cockscomb shaped. 



This is a very good and handsome Pine, weighing from four to 

 seven pounds, and swelling freely during winter months; it was 

 raised from seed at Enville Hall, the seat of the Earl of Stamford 

 and Warrington, but at what time is rather uncertain.
