67. Saunders's Cheshire Lass. (Cat. No. 48.) 

 Branches erect Fruit very early, large, oblong. Skin downy, white, very thin. Fla- 

 vour rich and sweet. A good bearer. 



Is recommended to be cultivated to supply green fruit for tarts, 

 and it early attains a size fit for that purpose. 



68. Stringers Maid of the Mill. (Cat. No. 205.) 



Branches erect. Fruit middling early, middle sized, or rather large, obovate. Skin 

 downy, white, thin. Flavour very good. Bears well. 



Has some resemblance to the Cheshire Lass. 



69. Peers s Queen Charlotte. (Cat. No. 242.) 



Branches somewhat erect. Fruit early, middle-sized and oblong. Skin generally 

 smooth, (in some instances slightly hairy), yellowish white and thin. Flavour very 

 good. A tolerable bearer. 



70. Cook's White Eagle. (Cat. No. 339.) 



Branches rather erect. Fruit late, large, obovate. Skin smooth, white, thick. Fla- 

 vour very good. 



As a large late sort of good flavour, this deserves to be recom- 

 mended. It also ranks high in the prize lists, having been grown 

 to upwards of 24 dwts.
