about half the pips, and ending in lengthened narrow points. Flesh pale yellow, rather 

 close, firm and juicy, with a rich, highly flavoured acid. Crown small, leaves broad, short 

 and reflexed. 



This very excellent and distinct variety, was sent to the Society by 

 Mr. William Buck, Gardener to the Hon. F. Greville Howard, 

 at Elford, in Staffordshire, where it was raised from seeds in 1819. 

 It fruited in the Garden last summer and weighed nearly five 

 pounds.

 Antigua Sugar-loaf, J °f some Gardens. 



Leaves rather strong, broad, somewhat keel-shaped, and slightly spreading, dark 

 green, much tinged with purplish brown, rather mealy. Spines middle-sized and re- 

 gular. Flowers lilac. Fruit cylindrical, of a dingy green and considerably covered with 

 mealiness before ripening; when ripe dark yellow inclining to orange. Pips large, 

 slightly prominent. Scales covering nearly one half the pips, and ending in short blunt 

 points. Flesh deep yellow, rather opaque and slightly fibrous, not very juicy but highly 

 flavoured and particularly sweet and rich. Crown middle-sized, leaves rather numerous 

 and spreading. 



This is an excellent variety well calculated for general culture. 

 Although differing materially from the other varieties of Sugar-loaf 

 in the shape of the fruit, yet it has been thought advisable to retain 

 its name ; its origin is unknown. Good specimens will weigh from 

 three to five pounds. 



It must not be confounded with the next sort.
