PEACHES AT THE SOUTH. 



Flesh — gi-eenish yellow, and light red at the stone ; a little coarse, but delicious ; full 

 of a very rich, slightly acidulated, juice. Tree — thrifty, bears regularly and sufficiently 

 abundant. Skin slips readily from the flesh -without the use of a knife. Ripe the 

 last of July. One of the best. 



19. Late Red Rareripe. Ripens last of July. Productive and good. 



20. Royal Kensington. Ripens the first of August. Somewhat resembles Grosse 

 Mignonne^ but- diyer and not so good. 



21. Late Admirable. Ripens the 1st of August. One of the very best late peaches. 

 Lasts till the middle of August. Still not equal to Grosse 2Iignonne. 



22. Morris White. Ripens early in August. This peach is very apt to be wormy. 

 I have never seen it first rate, always acid and somewhat astringent. 



23. Crawford''s Lute. A magnificent peach, large and productive. Ripens early 

 in August. One of the very best. Indispensable. 



24. Lspahan. Received under this name, but is not the Lspahan of the books, but 

 seems to resemble very much the Red CheeJc Melocoton, and is perhaps identical. 

 Generally a large and rather fine variety. Ripens about the 10th of August. 



25. President. One of the indispensable varieties. Ripe about middle of August. 



26. Green Catherine. A large and productive peach, but inferior to the foregoino-, 

 and apt to be wormy. Ripe August 15th. 



27. JVewington Cling. Ripe about the 10th of August. One of the best of the 

 clings — rich and juicy. 



28. Pace, or Tinley. Ripe middle of August. Fruit — large to very large in size, 

 oval, pointed at apex. Skin — of dull, dark, purplish red, covered with a thick, dull, 

 grey down. Flesh — dark red, marbled with orange, moderately juicy ; rich, not too 

 acid for most tastes. Productive, and very hardy. Resists frost better than most 

 peaches. Skin peels off readily when fully ripe. Loses flavor if over ripe. Exter- 

 nally, the color is something like Blood Cling. A freestone and a great favorite in 

 most parts of the State, but not first rate. Reproduces itself from the stone. 



29. Red Cheek Melocoton. Ripe middle of August. A beautiful and productive 

 peach, of fine quality, but not the best. Merits cultivation for its hardiness. Ripens 

 much earlier some years than the time above specified. 



30. Lemon Cling. In this climate delicious ; one of the best of the clings. Ripe 

 10th of August. 



31. Yellow Blanton Cling. Ripe 20th of August. Leaves — large, with globose 

 glands. Tree — thrifty and healthy. Fruit — large, and in general shaped like the 

 Lemon Cling, with the same projecting swollen point. Skin — rich orange, with a 

 slightly red cheek. Flesh — orange yellow, firm, but fidl of a delicious vinous juice. 

 Originated here. Later and of better quality than Lemon Cling. To my taste the 

 best of the clings. Reproduces itself from seed. 



32. Pavie de Pompone. A magnificent looking peach, bilt the fiesh is too coarse 

 to be a favorite. 



33. Blood Cling. Ripe the 20th of August, but unfit for eating. "WTien very ripe 

 it is barely tolerable. Don't know any reason why it should be cidtivated
