Morris's White Rareripe, a native, is the most popular and well, 

 known white peach, and is everywhere cultivated in this coun. 

 try, either under this, or some of the other names quoted above. 

 It is a rich fruit in a warm climate, but is not quite so high 

 flavoured at the north or east. The tree is vigorous and 

 healthy, and bears fair crops. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit rather large, oval ; su- 

 ture only of moderate depth, swollen point small. Skin rather 

 downy, greenish white on all sides, at first, but white with a 

 creamy tint when fully ripe ; and when fully exposed, sometimes 

 with a slightly purple cheek. Flesh white to the stone, a little 

 firm, melting, juicy, sweet and rich. Middle of September. 

 Flowers small. 



30. MORRISANIA POUND. Thomp. 



Hoffman's Pound. Floy. 

 Morrison's Pound. 



A very large and late variety, originated many years ago, 

 by Martin Hoffman, Esq., but first disseminated from the garden 

 of Governor Morris, of Morrisania, near New York. It is a 

 good fruit, but its place has been taken, of late, by other more 

 popular sorts. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit very large and heavy, 

 nearly round. Skin, dull greenish white, with a brownish red 

 cheek. Flesh, pale yellow, firm, juicy, sugary, and rich in 

 flavour. Ripens the middle and last of September. Flowers 

 small.

 True Red Magdalen. Rouge Paysanne. 



French Magdalen. 



The Red Magdalen, of Courson, is a favourite old French 

 peach, very little known in this country ; the Red Magdalen of 

 many of our gardens being either a spurious sort, or the Royal 

 George. It is an excellent, productive peach, hardy, and worthy 

 of more general cultivation. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit of medium size, or 

 rather below it, round, flattened, with a deep suture on one side,
