22. GEORGE THE FOURTH. Floy. Lind. Thomp. 



This is certainly the most popular peach for garden culture 

 in the United States. It is large, bears regular and abundant 

 crops, is of the highest flavour, and the tree is unusually hardy 

 and vigorous, succeeding well in all parts of the country. No 

 garden should be without it.. The original tree stood, not 

 long since, in the garden of Mr. Gill, Broad street, New- York. 



Leaves large, with globose glands, often obscure. Fruit 

 large, round, deeply divided by a broad suture, and one-half 

 a little larger than the other. Skin pale, yellowish white, finely 

 dotted with bright red, and deepening into a rich dark red cheek 

 on one side. Flesh pale, marked with red at the stone (which is 

 small), melting, very juicy, with a remarkably rich luscious 

 flavour. Ripens the last of August. Flowers small.

The Grosse Mignonne is certainly the " world renowned " of 

 peaches. In France, its native country, in England, in Ame- 

 rica, in short everywhere, it is esteemed as one of the most de- 

 licious of varieties. It is a good and regular bearer, a large 

 and handsome fruit, is a favourite for those who have to grow 

 peaches under glass, and ripens the best crops even in a rather 

 unfavourable climate, like that of Boston. The great number 

 of names by which it is known abroad (and we have not quoted 

 all) proves the universality of its cultivation. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large roundish, always 

 somewhat depressed and marked with a hollow suture at the
