By Mr. Robert Thompson. 



A moderate bearer. Differs from White Chrystal in being more 

 erect in habit, with leaves of a lighter green colour, and more 

 downy above ; but having less down intermixed with the hairs on 

 the surface of the fruit. Was sent to the Society by Mrs. Mackie 

 of Norwich. 



33. Early White. (Cat. No. 82.) 



Bush spreading, shoots erect. Leaves abundant, dark green. Fruit early, middle- 

 sized and roundish-oblong. Skin slightly downy, transparent, yellowish-white and 

 rather thin. Flavour very sweet and good. 



This is an excellent bearer and worthy of general cultivation. 

 Was received in the Garden from the Nursery of Messrs. Back- 

 house of York. 



34. Chrystal. (Cat. No. 50.) 



Branches spreading and rather pendulous. Leaves abundant, not hairy above, deep 

 green. Fruit late, small, roundish. Skin smooth, or but very slightly downy, white, 

 thick. Flavour tolerably good. 



Worthy of recommendation for coming in late. This differs 

 from the White Champagne, the fruit of which is very downy, 

 and early, the shoots erect and the leaves slightly pubescent. 



35. White Damson. (Cat. No. 65.) 



Branches erect. Fruit very early, small, roundish. Skin smooth, greenish- white, 

 very thin. Flavour excellent. 



A good bearer. From Messrs. Dickson of Edinburgh.

 stalk. Skin generally smooth, white, rather thick. Flavour rich and excellent.
