 towards the apex, suture small: surface rather downy, of a pale, creamy white at 

 maturity, rarely tinged with purple to the sun; flesh slightly firm, wholly white, 

 very free from the drab stone, melting, juicy, with a good, rich flavor; hardly 

 of the highest quality at the North, better in the Middle States; very popular

 burgh, N. Y. Tree vigorous, very productive ; flower small : fruit medium, round- 

 ish: suture broad and shallow, extending a little beyond the apex, which is a 

 small, swollen point: skin whitish, shaded with dark, rich red where fully ex- 

 posed: flesh white, red at the stone, juicy, melting, sweet, and rich; freestone. 

 (Downing.) 



Mountain Kose. Said to have originated in Morris county, New Jersey. 

 Tree vigorous, and very productive. It ripens about the same time as Large

 small: fruit large, roundish, slightly compressed; suture distinct, extending a 

 little beyond the apex; skin whitish, nearly covered with light and dark, rich

 fruit slightly larger on one side ; surface yellowish white, dotted with red, or with 

 a red cheek; flesh juicy, rich, with a high flavor; flower small. Ripens first of

 bled with red, with a deep red cheek when fully exposed; flesh deep red at stone,
