By Mr. John Turner. 411 



in honour of Dr. Diel, of Nassau Dietz, author of the very 

 excellent work on Pomology just cited, and a valuable Cor- 

 respondent of the Horticultural Society. It is as large as a fine 

 Summer Bon Chretien, and resembles it in shape. The skin is 

 smooth, of a bright Citron yellow ; flesh white, and melting, 

 with a rich sweet juice. It ripens in November, but will keep 

 well through the whole of the following month. 



The Urbaniste. 

 This variety was derived from the garden of the Count 

 Coloma, by whom it was raised, and has been fruited by Mr. 

 Braddick and Mr. Knight. It is egg-shaped, very even in 

 form, eye a little sunk, stalk about an inch long, inserted in a 

 cavity of moderate depth. Skin pale green, inclining to yel- 

 low, profusely spotted with greenish spots, and having small 

 patches of thin russet dispersed over its whole surface, but 

 more abundantly round the eye and stalk. The flesh is 

 white towards the outside, but deepens to a reddish yellow 

 next the core, which is large, and possesses a small quantity 

 of grit. It is quite melting, juicy, and very sweet, but with- 

 out perfume. The specimens which we have received have 

 not kept beyond the end of October.
