PEACHES AT THE SOUTH. 



34. Tippecanoe CUng. liipons the latter part of August, and is largo, juiey, and 

 fine. One of the best. 



35, \Miite English Cling. Leaves — with globose glands. Fruit — very large, and 

 oval. Suture — slight, with a swollen point at top. 8kin — clear, creamy white, with 

 sometimes a slight hue of red on the sunny side. Flesh — delicate white, free from 

 red at the stone, to which it firmly adheres ; very rich, juicy, and high flavored. As 

 it is entirely free from color, it is the very best for preserving or for brandy peaches. 

 Has no tendency to be wormy, as most white peaches have. Ripe early in Septem- 

 ber. Grows true from the stone. Very valuable for its lateness and excellence. 

 Widely known here. Brought originally from Viiginia. 



30. Bough. This is the next named peach of first quality that ripens after the 

 White English. A native of this State. Leaves — with globose glands. Fruit — 

 medium size, roundish, terminated with a small point. Suture — obscure. Skin — pale 

 yellow, almost white, with a slight blush towards the sun. Flesh — yellowish w^hite, 

 melting and juicy, with a sweet, pleasant flavor. By fiir the best fruit of its season. 

 Indispensable. P'reestone. Ripe l«t of October. 



We have three peaches, of pretty good quality, Avithout names, two of which were 

 received from Mr. Pjrince, by Mr. Camak, with the statement that they were too late 

 to be valuable in that climate, and the other obtained by Mr. Camak from an old field 

 in this State, all of which are really valuable, as they ripen between the 15th of Sep- 

 tember and 15th of October. We have also a Cling of very good quality in warm 

 seasons, that ripens the 1st of November ; making it possible to extend our peach 

 season from the 20th of June till about the middle of November, in favorable years. 



Of the above peaches, the best ten for a succession, in this climate, are Columbus 

 June, Walter^s Early, Grosse Mignonne, Crawford's Early, Belle de Beaucaire, Craw- 

 ford's Late, Newington Cling, Yellow Blanton Cling, White English and Bough. 

 Add to these Early Yorlc, Early Admirable, George IV., Belhgarde, Late Admira- 

 ble, Late Red Rareripe, President, Lemon Cling, Tippecanoe, November Cling, and 

 the unnamed varieties above for October, and the collection is quite as large as 

 desirable.
