Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pomologia Britannica, or Figures and Descriptions of the Most Important Varieties of Fruit Cultivated in Great Britain, Vol. 2 of 3
The name of Elruge Nectarine has long found a place in the lists of English fruit-trees, and is sop, posed to be the anagram of Gurles, a Nurseryman by whom it was first either 'raised or sold. But it is singular, that from some unexplained cause, the kind to which the name was originally applied, and which is described by Miller, has been almost lost from cultivation, while. That which is now re presented has usurped its place. This fact was first pointed out by Mr. George Lindley, in the Tran sactions of the Horticultural Society, and has been since universally admitted. Hence, there are two Elruge Nectarines in our gardens, one called Miller's Elruge, and the other the Common Elruge. This last is the subject of the following remarks. It is to be suspected, that all the descriptions of modern authors refer to this rather than to Miller's.
