374 Peach-Growing 



While detailed varietal descriptions would serve but little 

 practical purpose in this connection, a statement of these two 

 important characteristics for the varieties that are most 

 commonly planted is worth while. The following list is 

 made up of the varieties named above in the regional lists, 

 arranged alphabetically and with the color of flesh and ad- 

 hesion indicated. The following abbreviations are used: 



W = a white-fleshed variety ; 

 Y = a yellow-fleshed variety ; 

 C = a clingstone ; 

 F = a freestone. 



Since some varieties are intermediate in adhesion, neither 

 tightly clinging nor separating freely, and some varieties are 

 variable under different conditions, the combination C F is 

 used to indicate such sorts. The combinations used in other 

 respects are self-explaining.
