This Nectarine is said to have derived its name from that of GOURLE*, (being reversed); a nurseryman at Hogsden, or Hoxton, who is supposed to have raised it from seed, in the time of CHARLES the Second; and it does not appear to have been known to any foreign writer on this subject. It has also obtained the name of the Clermont Nectarine, out of compliment to HOLLES, DUKE of NEWCASTLE; in whose gardens, at Clermont, it was brought to great perfection. Tree very free and vigorous in its growth, and an abundant bearer. Blossom very small, the petals narrow, hollowed like a cup or spoon, very similar to those of the Violet Nectarine, but rather paler coloured, and the filaments longer in proportion. Fruit good size, somewhat oblong, of a bright handsome red toward the sun, and of a light yellow where not exposed to it. The separation of the red and yellow, in this variety, is distinct, and not so much shaded off as in others; flesh very white, with a little red next the stone. Of excellent flavour early, and a good forcer. Stone small, rather oblong, of a red * SWITZER's Fruit Gardener; published in 1763. A dish brown; separates very clearly from the flesh when fully ripe. The specimen, from which the Drawing was taken, was from the garden of D. BEALE, Esq. at Edmonton, in the fine season of 1811. |
