In the peach and nectarine, how- ever, an important division in classification is made by the great difference between those with large and small petals; one class, including the Early Ann, Grosse Mignonne, and others, having large, showy flowers; and another class, com- prising the Early Crawford, George IV., and many more, having flowers with small, narrow petals. II. Form of the Fruit. In the following pages, the base of a fruit or any other part of production of a tree is the portion toward the branch or root. This is in accordance with the lan- guage universally adopted in describing plants. It has, however, been more or less departed from in the common language used to describe fruits, and especially so as ap- plicable to the pear. This deviation from scientific accuracy tends to confusion, and if simplicity of expression is sought, am- biguity must be avoided. The apex of the stalk of a fruit, however, where it joins the fruit, may, in all cases, be termed the insertion, oPj» <^ f£og,.
