THE COTTAGE GARDENER AND COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, June 7, 1851). 
top, compressed on tlie sides, enlarged on one side of the 
suture. Skin pale orange, deep red next the sun, spotted 
with russety specks. Flesh deep orange, rich, and juicy. 
Tree hardy and prolific. Flowers small. Glands none. 
Ripens in the middle and end of August. 
Impeeateice. —In size and appearance this has a con¬ 
siderable resemblance to Yiolette Hative ; but the flesh 
is not so red at the stone as in that variety. It is very 
richly flavoured, and when allowed to hang till it shrivels 
—a -property which few of the Freestone Nectarines 
possess—it becomes quite a sweetmeat. Glands kidney¬ 
shaped. Flowers small. Ripens in the beginning of 
September. The tree is hardy, and an excellent bearer.

Large White. See White. 
Late Green. See Peterborough. 
Late Melting. —This appears to be a variety of Peter¬ 
borough, but the fruit is double the size. Glands kidney- 
shapecl. Flowers small. 
This is a very late variety, and is well worth growing 
in large collections when it is desired to extend the sea¬ 
son of this kind of fruit.

Oldenbueg. —F?uit medium sized, ovate. Skin pale 
yellow on the shaded side, but very much covered with

white throughout, and without any trace of red next the 
stone, very melting and juicy, with a rich, sugary, and 
vinous flavour. Glands kidney-shaped. Flowers small. 
Ripens in the end of September, and hangs "well till it 
shrivels, when it is very rich. 
Old Newington (Ander don’s ; French Newington; 
North’s Large; Bough Homan; Scarlet Neioington; 
Smith’s Newington; Sion Hill). — Fruit rather large, 
roundish. Skin pale next the wall, bright red next the 
sun. Flesh pale yellow, red at the stone, to which it 
adheres, juicy, sweet, rich, and vinous. Stone small and 
rough. Flowers large. Glands none. Ripens in the

Orange. See Golden.

Peteeboeough (Late Green; Vermash). — Fruit me¬ 
dium sized, round. Skin green, with a very faint dull red 
next £he sun. Flesh greenish-white to the stone, juicy, 
but nothing very remarkable except as being the latest 
nectarine known. Flowers small. Glands kidney-shaped. 
Ripens in October. 
Pitmaston Oeange ( Williams' Orange; Williams’ 
Seedling). —Fruit large, roundish-ovate, narrow towards 
the top, which ends in an acute swollen pomt. Skin rich 
orange, brownish-red next the sun, streaked where the 
two colours blend. Flesh deep yellow, red at the stone, 
juicy, rich, and excellent. Stone small, sharp-pointed, 
and very rough. Flowers large. Glands round. Ripens 
in the end of August and beginning of September. Tree 
an excellent bearer. 
Red Roman. See Roman. 
Rivees’ Oeange. —This is a seedling raised from Pit¬ 
maston Orange, and differs freto its parent in having 
kidney-shaped instead of round glands. The fruit is 
similar to that of Pitmaston Orange, and very richly 
j flavoured; and the tree, in Mr. Rivers’ estimation, is 
more robust in its habit, bears, perhaps, more profusely, 
and is hardier than that variety. 
Roman (Brugnon Musque; Brugnon Yiolette Musque ; 
Old Roman; Red Roman). — Fruit large, roundish, 
flattened at the top. Skin greenish-yellow, brown muddy 
I red, and rough with russety specks next the sun. Flesh 
greenish-yellow, deep red at the stone, to which it ad¬ 
heres, rich, juicy, and with a highly vinous flavour, par¬ 
ticularly when allowed to hang till it shrivels. Flowers 
large. Glands kidney-shaped. Beginning.of September. 
In many collections Yiolette Hative and Elruge are 
grown for this variety; but from both of these it is readily 
distinguished by its flowers, which are large.

Scarlet. See Old Newington.

Springrove. See Elruge. 
Stanwick. — Fruit large, roundish oval. Skin pale 
lively green where shaded, and purplish-red where ex¬ 
posed to the sun. Flesh white, melting, rich, sugary, 
and most delicious. Kernel sweet, like that of the sweet 
almond. Glands kidney-shaped. Flowers large. Ripe 
the middle and end of September. 
The fruit is very apt to crack, and requires to be grown 
under glass. Hitherto it has generally failed to ripen 
thoroughly against walls in the open air, except in one 
or two instances, with which I am acquainted, where 
grown in a light sandy soil and a good exposure, it then 
ripened thoroughly without cracking.
