Note 345 — LETTER VI.
Reading edition
Dr. Smith Barton's Letter in Philos. Magaz. xxii. 210. William Davy, Esq. American Consul of the Port of Hull, long resident in the United States, informed me that though he had abundance of peaches at his country-house, German Town near Philadelphia, he could never succeed with the nectarine, the fruit constantly falling off perforated by the grub of some insect.
