472 THE PEACH. 



4. BREVOORT. 



Brevoort's Morris. 



Brevoort's Seedling Melter. Floy. 



One of the richest and most delicious of American peaches, 

 and one of the favourite sorts for garden cultivation. It was 

 raised some years ago by Henry Brevoort, Esq., of New-York. 

 Mr. Floy describes this, in his edition of Lindley, as a small 

 fruit. It is almost always large on the Hudson river, and bears 

 regular, moderate crops. 



Leaves with uniform glands. Fruit medium or large, round 

 and rather broad, with a distinct suture, deep at the top. Skin 

 pale yellowish- white, often a little dingy, with a bright red 

 cheek. Flesh rather firm, slightly red at the stone, rich, sugary 

 and high flavoured. First of September. Flowers small. 



5. BELLE DE VITRY. Duh. Lind. Thomp. 



Admirable Tardive. 

 Bellis. Mill. 



This is not the Belle de Vitry of most of our gardens, which 

 is the Early Admirable. It is quite distinct also, from the Late 

 Admirable ; but is the Belle de Vitry, described by Duhamel, 

 and is a very firm fleshed and excellent French variety, little 

 known in this country. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit middle size, rathei 

 broad, with a deep suture, the top depressed. Skin pale yel- 

 lowish-white, tinged and marbled with bright and dull red. 

 Flesh rather firm, red at the stone, melting, juicy and rich. 

 Ripens here the last of September. Flowers small. 



6. BARRINGTON. P. Mag. Thomp. Lind. 



Buckingham Mignonne. 

 Colonel Ausleys. 



A handsome, very fine, and very hardy English peach. The 

 tree is vigorous and healthy. The fruit ripens at the medium 

 season, about a week after the Royal George. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large, roundish, inclining 

 to ovate, and rather pointed at the top, with a moderate suture 

 on one side. Skin pale yellowish-white, with a deep red, mar- 

 bled cheek. Flesh but slightly tinged with red at the stone, 

 melting, juicy, very rich, and of the first quality. Stone rug 

 ged, dark brown. Beginning of September. Flowers large.
