142 PEACHES. 



Early Ascot. 



Raised a few years since by Mr. Standish, of the Royal Ascot 

 Nursery, England, and is considered a choice peach ; leavts with small 

 roundish reniform glands ; flowers small. 



Fruit medium, I'oundish, somewhat depressed ; suture shallow ; skin 

 flushed with bright red on nearly all parts, suffused on the shady with 

 crimson and on the exposed side with deeper blood red ; flesh slight red 

 at the stone, from which it parts freely, pale greenish straw color, with

Fetters. 



A new variety, raised by John Fetters, near Lancaster, Ohio ; tree 

 vigorous, a good and regular beai-er and fine quality ; glands globose ; 

 flowers small. 



Fruit medium to lai-ge, roundish, inclining to oblong ; suture distinct 

 but not deep, extending a little beyond the apex, which is a small point ; 

 skin creamy white, with a sliglit blush where exposed ; flesh white, a 

 slight tinge of red at the stone, juicy, melting, sweet, rich and excellent; 

 freestone. Ripens the first of Septembei-. 



High's Early Canada. 



A seedling raised by Abraham High, Jordan, Ontario, who claims 

 that it is as early or a few days earlier than Early Beatrice, larger and 

 better quality : and the fruit he sent me was very similar in size, form, 

 color and quality to Alexander's Early, Amsden's June and Honeywell, 

 and I am inclined to think they are all seedlings, varying slightly, of 

 one kind — probably Hale's Early. 



Hill's Chili Peach.

It is now pretty well ascertained that this peach originated on the 

 Farm of Deacon Pitmann Wilcox, of Riga, Monroe County, N. Y., more 

 than sixty yeai-s since, and is still healthy and bearing fruit ; it was 

 first called Connecticut Peach. The tree is hardy, vigorous, very pro- 

 ductive, and is considered a valuable market variety. It is also said 

 to rejiroduce itself from seed, and the many names by which it is called 

 iu different localities is no doubt the result of its reproduction.
