40 THE BOOK OF THE PEACH. 



when well grown. It was raised from Early 

 Silver (a large - fruited and well - flavoured 

 variety) : end of September. 



26. Walburton Admirable. Large, melting, and ex- 



cellent in every way, resembling in its small 

 flowers and glands the Late Admirable. It is 

 a shy bearer, to which fact the large size to 

 which the fruit usually attains may be attri- 

 buted: the fruit ripens from the end of 

 September into October. 



27. Salway. This is undoubtedly the latest peach 



in cultivation too late, in fact, for ripening 

 with any degree of certainty out-of-doors in 

 the most favoured situation on a wall facing 

 due south or south-east. The fruit attains 

 a fine size, the skin being downy and greenish 

 in colour, and suffused with crimson when 

 ripened under glass with the assistance of fire 

 heat, in which circumstances the flavour is 

 rich and refreshing: October.
