278 THE PEACH. 



OLDMIXON. 



Oldir.ixon Cling, | Oldmixon Clingstone. 



American. Of the clingstone peaches we think this and Hyslop s 

 the best, and deserving place in every collection. Flowers, small ; 

 glands, globose ; fruit, large, roundish oval ; suture, well marked, 

 and one side of fruit slightly larger than the other, without mamelon, 

 or swollen point ; skin, yellowish white, with red more or less 

 dotted, and becoming bright red cheek where exposed fully to sun ; 

 flesh, pale white, juicy, rich, high and excellent flavor. Season, early 

 in September. Clingstone. 



OLDMIXON FREESTONE. 



Oldmixon Clearstone. 



American. Said to have been produced from seed of the Old 

 mixon, which we think somewhat doubtful. It is, however, a variety 

 meriting place every where, as it always produces a crop, appearing 

 to withstand late spring frosts better than many others, and for 

 market, its ripening just at a period when most other varieties are 

 out, makes it extremely desirable. Flowers, small ; glands, globose ; 

 fruit, large, roundish, slightly oval, one side swollen ; suture, appa 

 rent only at apex ; skin, a mingling of yellowish white and pale 

 green, more or less marbled with dull red, and having a deep red 

 cheek in the sun ; flesh, white, tinged with red at stone, rich, sweet, 

 vinous, excellent flavor. Season, 5th to 15th September. 



PRESIDENT. 



American. Trees, healthy, productive, similar to the Rareripes ; 

 a valuable market fruit ; flowers, small ; glands, globose ; fruit, 

 large or above medium, roundish oval ; suture, shallow ; skin, downy, 

 pale yellowish green, with a red cheek ; flesh, white, red at the 

 stone, juicy, sweet, rich, high flavor ; stone, rough, and unless fully 

 ripe, the flesh adheres slightly to it. Season, middle of September. 

 Freestone. 



PRINCE S RED RARERIPE. 



Late Red Rareripe . 



American. Trees, vigorous, productive, and fruit of a grayish 

 appearance, distinguishing it from all other varieties ; flowers, small ; 

 glands, globose ; fruit, large, roundish oval, with a depressed suture 

 and sunken point at apex ; skin, downy, pale grayish yellow, mottled 

 and marbled with red, and with a red cheek mottled with fawn-co 

 lored specks ; flesh, white, deep red at stone, juicy, melting, rich, 

 luscious flavor. Season, early in September. Freestone.
