and full of flavour: ripens early in August. 

 It has globose glands and large flowers. The 

 true variety is rare. 



8. tCn'msofi Galande. Large, deep crimson, flesh 



melting, rich, and finely flavoured; a free- 

 stone peach of the most hardy, fruitful, and 

 vigorous constitution : ripens from the middle 

 to the end of August. Small flowers. 



9. -^Dagmar. Large, very rich flavour, refreshing 



and juicy, skin downy and of deep crimson, 

 very handsome: ripe early in August. This 

 is a seedling from the Early Albert Peach; 

 glands kidney-shaped, flowers small.

and full of flavour: ripens early in Sep- 

 tember. 



11. Belle Beauce. Large, and good in every respect: 



ripening a week or ten days after Grosse Mig- 

 nonne. 



12. Dymond. A large, grandly coloured, and richly 



flavoured peach, of fine constitution, and very 7 

 fruitful: ripening in September. (I have 

 reason to remember the result of a few re- 

 marks that I made upon a somewhat inferior 

 sample of this really fine peach which was 

 submitted to a body of experts towards the 

 end of September a few years ago.)
