THE PEACH. 
Nivette. O. Dull. Lind. Tliomp. 
Nivette Y eloutee. Yeloutee Tardive. 
Dorsetshire. 
The Nivette is an excellent French variety, much resembling 
the Late Admirable. 
Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large, roundish, inclining 
to oval ; suture shallow, and the top slightly depressed. Skin 
pale green, with a lively red cheek. Flesh pale green, but deep 
red at the stone, juicy, melting, and very rich. Beginning and 
middle of September. Flowers small. 
Noblesse. Lang. Lind. Thomp. 
Yanguard. Mellish’s Favourite. 
Lord Montague’s Noblesse. 
An English peach of the highest reputation, and which in 
this country is esteemed wherever known, as one of the largest, 
most delicious, and most valuable varieties. The tree is hardy 
and productive, and every cultivator should possess it. In 
England it is one of the favourite kinds for forcing and wall cul- 
ture, yielding regular and abundant crops of beautiful, pale fruit. 
Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit large, roundish ob- 
long, a little narrowed at the top, and terminated by an acute 
swollen point. Skin slightly downy, pale green throughout, 
marked on the cheek with delicate red, clouded with darker red. 
Flesh pale greenish-white to the stone, melting, very juicy, with 
a very high and luscious flavour. Last of August. Flower* 
large. 
Nutmeg, Red. Mill. Lind. Thomp. 
Avant Rouge. 0. Duh. Brown Nutmeg. 
Avant Peclie de Troyes. Early Red Nutmeg. 
Red Avant. 
The Red Nutmeg is a very small and inferior peach, which 
has long been cultivated solely on account of its earliness. It 
is now seldom seen in our gardens, being abandoned for better 
sorts. It is desirable, however, in a complete collection. Both 
this and the following are European varieties. The tree grows 
slowly, and is of dwaif habit. 
Leaves small, with reniform glands. Fruit small, roundish, 
with a distinct suture, terminating in a small, round, swollen 
point at the top. Skin pale yellow, with a bright, rich red 
cheek. Flesh yellowish-white, red at the stone, with a sweet 
and rather pleasant flavour. Middle and last of J uly. Flowers 
large.
