PEACHES. 99 



The tree does not attain a large size ; a freestone, 

 ripe in August. M. 



Early Royal George. The size is large, the 

 form round, the skin of a bright yellow, with a 

 large portion of deep red on the side exposed to 

 the sun ; the flesh melting and delicious ; it is a 

 great bearer, and one of the most superior peaches 

 we have ever raised ; a freestone, ripe in August. 

 M. 



Red Rareripe. This is a large freestone 

 peach ; form nearly round ; the skin of a very 

 bright yellow, with a light red cheek ; the flesh 

 very rich and excellent. Ripe in August. M. 



Red and Yellow Rareripe. A large, round, 

 freestone peach ; the skin of a deep orange yel- 

 low, with a dark-red cheek ; the flesh deep yel- 

 low, rich, sweet, and luscious. The tree is an 

 abundant bearer ; and a most valuable peach 

 ripening in August. M. 



[This variety ripens with us nearly a month earlier than 

 the Koyal George Freestone.} 



White Rareripe. This peach is of large size, 

 the form somewhat oblong, the skin a pale yel- 

 low, nearly white; flesh white, juicy, and of fine 

 flavor. Ripe in August. M. 



[The White Kareripe, described by R. B. Parsons, in 

 the "Horticulturist" as superior to Morris's White, 

 may be an old variety, conjectured by Downing to be the 

 "Nivette."] 



Grosse Mignonne. This is a large, round, and 

 most beautiful freestone peach ; the skin deep 

 yellow, with a brownish red cheek next the sun ; 

 flesh light yellow, fine and delicious. A peach 

 of the highest character. Ripe in August. M. 

 [This sort, and the Malta, are our best peaches.]
