PEACHES AT TUE BOUTU. 



2. Early York. "We have <a poach from the north, without the name, which I 

 think is this variety. An excellent peach, veiy jiiicy, and in every respect wortliy of 

 cultivation. June 20th. 



3. Walter s Early. Bears an abundant crop of niolting and delicious fruit, which 

 ripens about the 1st of July. Not so easily injured by frost as many others. Suc- 

 ceeds as far south as Mobile. Likes a sandy soil. 



4. Red Rareripe. Ripens about the same time. Bears well, and is a gi'cat favorite 

 here. Fruit — melting and high flavored. 



5. Strawberry. Generally ripens about the 1st of July, and if allowed to overbear 

 is of but ordinary quality. This year a few escaped the frost, and ripened some six 

 days earlier than usual and were very delicious; if well thinned, always so. 



G. Royal George. This peach is not inclined to overbear, but ripens a moderate 

 crop of delicious peaches about the 4th of July. 



7. Cooliilye's Favorite. The peach received here under this name bears finely, and 

 ripens about the 5th of July, but is too acid and poor to cultivate. We may not 

 have the true variety. 



8. Early Achnirahle. Ripens about the 5th of July. Productive, large, and good. 

 It will stand a fi-ost, without much injury, that will cut off Grosse Miynonne entirely. 

 Bore a good crop this season. One of the best. 



9. Early Newington Free. Another hardy, excellent variety, bearing a fair crop 

 the present season in spite of the frost. One of the most desirable peaches grown. 

 Ripe July 5th. 



10. Grosse Mlgnonne. This is, perhaps, the best free stone peach cultivated. 

 Ywui — large, beautiful, and delicious, excellent in every respect. Ripens July 8th. If 

 it has a rival, it is 



11. George IV. ^Miich ripens a day or two later, and is in general equally 

 esteemed with the foregoing for beauty and excellence.

13. Morris^ Red Rarerijje. Ripe about the middle of July. Productive, melting, 

 and excellent. 



14. White Blossomed Incomparable. Ripe the 15th or 20th of July. Nearly 

 always w^ormy, and not worth cultivating. Of only second rate quality. 



15. Crawford's Early. One of the best cultivated, always large and fair, and 

 pretty hardy. Ripe middle of July. Fruit often nine inches in circumference. 



16. Bellegarde. This peach came here as the Red Magdelen. It is hardy and 

 productive. Will stand frost better than most of the good varieties. The fruit is 

 melting and delicious. One of the best. Ripe about the 20tli of Jidy. 



17. Noblesse. Ripens about the 20th of July, and very excellent. AYell worth 

 cultivating, even in small collections.
