Notice of New or Remarkable Varieties of Fruits, 393 



Plum. 



Nicholas William Ridley Colborne, Esq. F. H. S. on 

 the 27th of September, 1824, sent from his garden at West 

 Harling in Norfolk, two specimens of Coe's Golden Drop 

 Plum of different colours borne on the same branch : one 

 was of the usual colour, the other violet. The fruit of the 

 latter was perfectly formed, and the branch was in good 

 health, so that disease had no share in producing the change ; 

 its flavour was precisely that of the yellow variety. Mr. 

 Ridley Colborne subsequently sent the branch to the 

 Garden of the Society, where it was grafted, with the view of 

 ascertaining whether the sport will be permanent or not. 



Apricot. 



Mr. Alexander Richardson, Gardener to the Countess 

 of Tanker vi lle, at Walton on Thames, sent to the Meeting 

 on the 2nd of September, 1824, specimens of a seedling 

 Apricot, the produce of a standard tree, raised from a stone 

 of the Moor Park, and growing in Lady Tankerville's 

 Garden. The variety very much resembled the Moor Park, 

 but appears to be more hardy, since it ripens quite well on a 

 standard, and attains to a larger size. It has been named the 

 Walton Moor Park Apricot. 



Peaches. 



George Robert Goodin Ricketts, Esq. F.H. S. sent 

 on the 20th September, 1823, specimens of a Peach Taised 

 from seed by Mr. William Holmes of Twyford, near Win- 

 chester. It closely resembles a Noblesse, is well shaped,
