190 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



popular varieties we have very few to equal it, either in high quality, or beauty 

 of color. It is a pale-fleshed free-stone. 



Cooper's Mammoth 



is one of those fickle titles which seem to apply to almost anything upon occa- 

 sion, and which belong in fact to nothing. Applied a few years since to Early 

 Crawford, we now find it doing duty as the cognomen of an unknown, serrate, 

 yellow peach, found upon the premises of A. S. Dyckman, of South Haven, 

 formerly president of this society. This peach, although large and good, is 

 probably worthless on account of the unproductiveness of the tree. The name 

 is, of course, a misnomer. 



Pullen's Seedling, 



a yellow, late September peach, which originated thirty years ago in New 

 Jersey, promises to be valuable as a market variety. It is somewhat known in 

 the vicinity of Saugatuck. 



Susquehanna, 



a favorite late peach of Eastern Pennsylvania, has fruited with us for two 

 years past, and is attracting much attention on account of the large size and 

 fine quality of the fruit, as well as its maturity at a desirable season. The 

 question of its productiveness can hardly yet be said to be settled. It is unpro- 

 ductive at the east. 



Rudinrf s Late lied 



gives indications of value, mainly as a beautiful, rich and excellent, pale-fleshed, 

 desert peach, for the latter part of September. 



Yellow Oblong 



was received from Eastern Pennsylvania, among trees imported for sale. The 

 appearance of the fruit and the lateness of its maturity (end of Sept.) indicate 

 possible value as a market variety. 



Lady Palmerston 



is also a late yellow peach, originated by the late Thomas Rivers of England, 

 the originator of several popular new sorts. The first fruiting of this would 

 encourage the idea that it may be able to vindicate for itself a high position, 

 even as a market variety. 



WUkins i Cling. 



A tree received under this name has now fruited. Notes taken at maturity 



pronounce it one of the most beautiful of peaches. This name is, however, a 



new one to Pomology. We suspect it to be Heath Cling. Another season is 

 needed to decide the question. 



Atlanta 



has now fruited here two years. It seems certain to assume a prominent posi- 

 tion as an amateur, and possibly even as a market variety. 



Variegated Free. 

 We have watched this variety with much interest, particularly on account of
