192 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



peaches have filled a basket which contains over three 

 pecks. Originated by William Crawford, Esq., of that 

 place. It there ripens the 20th of September, and will 

 ripen the last of September with us. 



49. *GOLDEN RARERIPE. 



CAMD.EH. 



Large, round, very beautiful ; fine yellow in the shade, 

 orange or red next the sun ; flesh juicy, sweet, and deli- 

 cious. A fruit which I received from Mr. Joseph Beers, 

 of Middletown, New Jersey. It much resembles Crawford's 

 Late Malacatune, and ripens a week previous. The tree 

 bears well, but is not so extraordinary for its productive- 

 ness, as is that excellent variety. 



50. *HEATH. 



KESRICK'S HEATH. 



This noble variety was received from the late Gen. Heath, 

 of Roxbury, of revolutionary memory ; hence its name. 

 The tree is very vigorous, and extraordinarily productive, 

 and is probably a native. The fruit is very large, oblong, 

 and beautiful; specimens have frequently been seen weigh- 

 ing half a pound ; pale yellowish green in the shade, but 

 beautiful deep crimson or violet next the sun ; unequally 

 divided by a slight suture, which terminates in a point; the 

 flesh is melting, juicy, rich, vinous, agreeably acid, and 

 good. A capital fruit. Middle of September. 



51. LATE ROBINSON CRUSOE. 



Large, round ; white in the shade, pale red next the sun ; 

 very juicy and delicious. The tree bears very extraordi- 

 nary crops, ripening the 1st of October. This most ex- 

 cellent fruit I received of Colonel Carr. It was raised by 

 Dr. Coxe, of Philadelphia, from stones brought by Lieu- 

 tenant Coxe, of the United States navy, from the Island of 

 Juan Fernandez, in the Pacific Ocean ; hence its name. 



52. MORRISANIA POUND 



HOFFMAN'S. 



The fruit is very large, round ; pale green in the shade, 

 red next the sun ; very juicy and delicious; ripening late, 

 about the middle of October. Mr. Floy states that this 

 variety was received of Gouverneur Morris, of Morrisania, 

 near New York; but it was originated by Martin Hoffman, 

 Esq. [Leaves G. Flowers S.]
