THE CANADIAN HORTICULUTRIST. 



This is a fine seedling, size about 2^ 

 inches in diameter. Color of skin creamy 

 white, with a bright red cheek ; flesh white, 

 tender, very juicy, sweet, rich and delicious ; 

 season, beginning of October. 



Yellow flesh peaches of the Crawford type 

 have been so far most sought after in Cana- 

 dian markets, on account no doubt of the 

 popularity of the Early Crawford, and we 



know of no white flesh peach of the same 

 season, more worthy of cultivation, than this 

 seedling. For home uses, such as the de- 

 licious luxury of " peaches and cream," we 

 doubt if any peach can surpass this one. It 

 i.^ altogether too tender to be cultivated as a 

 market peach, consequently it would nev'.r 

 be planted on a large scale.
