Stanwick Elruge

This is a large richly flavoured nectarine, exactly like Stanwick, a few days earlier than Elruge. It was raised from Elruge crossed with Stanwick, and is one of the seedlings of Mr. Rivera, of Sawbridgeworth. Flowers, small. Glands, round.

It is deliciously flavoured.

Temple. See Elruge. Vermash. See Peterborough.

Victoria

The fruit is exactly similar to the Stanwick, and possesses all its richness of flavour; but it is a month earlier, and does not crack as that variety does. It was raised by Mr. Rivers from the Violette Hative, fertilised by Stanwick, and while it has the bitter kernel, small flowers, and kidney-shaped glands of Violette Hâtive, it is in all other respects similar to the Stanwick.

This is a very valuable acquisition. The tree succeeds best on the Black Damask Stock. It ripens in an orchard-house in the end of September.
