480 THE PEACH. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit very large, roundish, in- 

 clining to oval, with a bold suture dividing the fruit pretty 

 deeply all round, and a small, acute, swollen point at the top. 

 Skin pale yellowish green, with a pale red cheek, marbled with 

 darker red. Flesh greenish white, but red at the stone, very 

 juicy, melting, and of delicate, exquisite flavour. Middle of 

 September. Flowers small. 



27. LA GRANGE. 



The La Grange is a new white freestone peach, of very late 

 maturity, large size, and fine flavour. It was originated from 

 seed five or six years ago, in the garden of Mr. John Hulse, 

 Burlington, New-Jersey. 



Its late period of maturity, its colour, its productiveness, and 

 size, have already given it quite a reputation among the extensive 

 growers of New-Jersey, and it is undoubtedly a most valuable 

 fruit, not only for the table but for preserving at the most 

 desirable period for this purpose late in the season. Its fla- 

 vour is remarkably rich and delicious, equalling, in this re- 

 spect, almost any peach of its season of maturity. It was first 

 brought into notice and disseminated by Mr. Thomas Hancock. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large, oblong, shaped 

 somewhat like the Heath Cling. Skin greenish white, with oc- 

 casionally some red on the sunny side. Flesh pale, juicy, 

 melting, very rich, sweet, high flavoured and delicious. Last 

 of September, and beginning of October. Flowers small. 



28. MORRIS'S RED RARERIPE.

Large Red Rareripe. \f some 



This very popular and well-known American peach, has the 

 reputation of having originally been disseminated from the gar- 

 den of Robert Morris, Esq., of Philadelphia. It is everywhere 

 justly esteemed for its acknowledged good flavour, beauty, and 

 productiveness. Mr. Kenrick, and some other American writ- 

 ers, have erred in supposing it synonymous with the Grosse 

 Mignonne, which is quite different, both in the colour of its skin 

 and flesh as well as in its flavour and blossoms. 



Leaves with small globose glands. Fruit large, roundish, a 

 little depressed at the top, with a moderately well-marked suture. 

 Skin fine pale greenish white, a little dotted, and with a lively, 

 rich red cheek. Flesh pale, greenish white, quite red at the 

 stone, very melting and juicy, with a sweet and rich flavour. 

 Last of August. Flowers small.
