and generally fpotted ; the flefli is firm, and the juice rich 

 and vinous. It ripens late in September, 



28. La Teton de Venus (Venus's Breaft). This is a middle- 

 fized fruit, fomewhat longifh ; the fide next the fun is of a 

 pale red, the flefli melting, and the juice fugary and rich* 

 It ripens about the latter end of September. 



29. La Pourpree (the late Purple). This fruit is large 

 and of a purple colour ; the flefh is melting, and the juice 

 fugary and rich. It ripens about the beginning of Oclober. 



30. The Nivette is of a bright red next the fun,, and of a 

 yellowifh call towards the wall ; the flefh is melting, and full 

 of a rich juice. This is an excellent Peach, and ripens about 

 the middle of September. 



31. *The Monftrous Pavey of Pomponne. This Peach is 

 Very large, and of a round form ; the flefh is white and 

 melting ; it is of a fine red colour towards the fun. This, 

 ripens in the latter end of October. 



32. * The Catharine Peach is a fine large fruit of a round 

 make, and of a beautiful red colour towards the fun. The 

 flefh is melting, and full of a rich juice. The pulp is im- 

 proved by its lying three or four days before it is eaten. It 

 ripens about the latter end of October ; but there are not 

 many fituations where it ripens well. It is a plentiful

 are fond of ftich as adhere to the flone; and, as it is of a beautiful colour it will make a

 to itfelf, and have the lights of the Peach-houfes (after forcing is over), or Melon lights, 

 fixed upon a temporary frame againft the wall. This would greatly forward the ripening 

 of the fruit in bad feafons ; and, as the tree is a good bearer, it would amply recompenfe 

 any one for the trouble, by furnifhing a fupply of fruit for the table till the middle of 

 November. This would alfo affift in ripening the wood well for the fucceeding year,
