278 THE PEACH. 



Oldmixon. 



Oldmixon Qin; , | Oldmjson Clingstone. 



American. Of the clingstone peaches we think this and Hyslop's 

 the best, and deserving place in every collection. Flowers, small ; 

 glands, globose ; fruit, large, roundish oval ; suture, well marked, 

 and one side of fruit slightly larger than the other, without mamelon, 

 or swollen point; skin, yellowish white, with red more or less 

 dotted, and becoming bright red cheek where exposed fully to sun ; 

 flesh, pale white, juicy, rich, high and excellent flavor. Season, early 

 in September. Clingstone. 



Oldmixon Freestone. 



Oldmixon Clearslone. 



American. Said to have been produced from seed of the Old- 

 mixon, which we think somewhat doubtful. It is, however, a variety 

 meriting place every where, as it always produces a crop, appearing 

 to withstand late spring frosts better than many others, and for 

 market, its ripening just at a period when most other varieties are 

 out, makes it extremely desirable. Flowers, small ; glands, globose ; 

 fruit, large, roundish, slightly oval, one side swollen ; suture, appa- 

 rent only at apex ; skin, a mingling of yellowish white and pale 

 green, more or less marbled with dull red, and having a deep red 

 cheek in the sun ; flesh, white, tinged with red at stone, rich, sweet, 

 vinous, excellent flavor. Season, 5th to 15th September. 



President. 



American. Trees, healthy, productive, similar to the Rareripes ; 

 a valuable market fruit ; flowers, small ; glands, globose ; fruit, 

 large or above medium, roundish oval ; suture, shallow ; skin, downy, 

 pale yellowish green, with a red cheek ; flesh, white, red at the 

 stone,* juicy, sweet, rich, high flavor; stone, rough, and unless fully 

 ripe, the flesh adheres slightly to it. Season, middle of September. 

 Freestone. 



Prince's Red Rareripe. 



Late Red Rareripe . 



American. Trees, vigorous, productive, and fruit of a grayish 

 appearance, distinguishing it from all other varieties ; flower's, small ; 

 (/lands, globose; fruit, large^ roundish oval, with a depressed suture 

 and sunken point at apex ; skin, downy, pale grayish yellow^, mottled 

 and marbled with red, and with a red cheek mottled with fawn-co- 

 lored specks ; flesh, white, deep red at stone, juicy, melting, rich, 

 luscious flavor. Season, early in September. Freestone.
