the Perpree , the Supreme-peach, and the A- 
rabian-peach, all of them very curious Fruit. 
But the Rickct-peach hath lately gained 
the Reputation of being the beft of Peaches 
in the Judgment of all Judicious Fruitifts. 
Of Malacotonncs, as much as to lay. Ap¬ 
ples with cotton on them, there are two 
or three forts, but being late ripe and old 
Fruit, they are not much valued. 
Nectarines , of the favour and tafte of 
Nectar, are very pleafant Fruit, whereof 
the Red Roman is the faireft, and by moft 
efteem’d the beft and moft delicate Fruit 
for its guft, that this Ifland yields : By 
fome the Rluroy is preferred, and by fome 
the Tawny, neither of them fo large as the 
Red Roman. 
Then there is the Red or Scarlet Necta¬ 
rine, an excellent Fruit, and by many much 
let by, becaufe it leaves the Stone. 
EefideiUll which, there are the Great 
Green , the" fdttle Green*, the Clutter, the 
Yellow ,the White,the Papcr-whfteyhe Paint¬ 
ed, the Rujjet, jthe Genoa , the Argol, the 
Perfian, and the OrbincNe&arines, that are 
very good Fruit, but not to be compared 
to the former.
