MANAGEMENT OF FRUIT TREES, &c. s 



5. The Turkey. This is larger, and of a deeper colour, 

 than the Roman; its fhape more globular, and the flefli 

 firmer and drier. It ripens about the latter end of Auguft. 



6. The Breda (brought from thence to England) is ori- 

 ginally from Africa. It is large, round, and of a deep 

 yellow colour ; the flefh is foft and juicy. This is an excel- 

 lent fruit, efpecially if ripened on a ftandard. It ripens 

 about the latter end of Auguft. 



7. The Bruflels. This is held in very great efteem on ac- 

 count of its bearing fo well on ftandards, or large dwarfs. 

 It is of a middling fize, red towards the fun, with many 

 dark fpots ; and of a greenifh yellow on the other fide. This 

 has a brifk flavour, is not liable to be mealy or doughy, and 

 is preferred by many to the Breda ; but when the Breda is 

 planted as a ftandard, the fruit is more juicy and of a richer 

 flavour. This ripens in Auguft on a wall, but not before the 

 latter end of September on ftandards. 



8. The Moor Park, called alfo Anfon's, Temple's, and Dun- 

 more's Breda. This is a fine fruit, and ripens about the latter 

 end of Auguft. 



9. The Peach Apricot. This was introduced from Paris, 

 by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, at Sion-houfe, in 

 1767. It is the fineft and largeft of all Apricots, and is 

 generally thought to be the fame as the Moor-Park; but 

 upon a minute examination the leaves will be found to differ. 

 It ripens in Auguft. 



v io. The Black Apricot. This has been very lately intro- 

 duced, by Sir Jofeph Banks, from France, in which country 

 it is highly efteemed. 



The trees that Sir Jofeph planted at his feat in Spring 

 Grove, near Hounflow, bore fruit laft feafon, for the firft
