490 THE PEACH. 



53. BERGEN'S YELLOW. 



Bergen's Yellow is a native, we believe, of Long Island. It is 

 very large, and of very delicious flavour. It is darker coloured, 

 more depressed in form, rather finer flavoured, and ripens some 

 days later than the Yellow Rare-Ripe, which it much resembles. 

 It is a moderate, but good bearer. It is earlier, and much 

 superior to the Malacoton, and its glands distinguish it, also, 

 from that variety. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large (often measuring 

 nine inches in circumference), globular, depressed, and broad ; 

 the suture well marked, and extending more than half round. 

 Skin deep orange, dotted with some red, and with a very broad, 

 dark red cheek. Flesh deep yellow, melting, juicy, and of 

 rich and luscious flavour. Ripens at the beginning of Sep- 

 tember. Flower small. 



54. BALTIMORE BEAUTY. 



A very good, and remarkably handsome peach, of native 

 origin, ripening very early, which we received from Lloyd N. 

 Rogers, Esq., of Baltimore. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit rather small, roundish 

 oval. Skin deep orange, with a rich brilliant red cheek. Flesh 

 yellow, but red at the stone, sweet and very good a little mealy 

 if over-ripe. Ripens early in August. Flowers large. 



54. CRAWFORD'S EARLY MELOCOTON. 



Early Crawford. Ken 

 Crawford's Early. 



This is the most splendid and excellent of all early, yellow- 

 fleshed peaches, and is scarcely surpassed by any other variety 

 in size and beauty of appearance. As a market fruit, it is 

 perhaps the most popular of the day, and it is deserving of the 

 high favour in which it is held by all growers of the peach. It 

 was originated a few years ago, by William Crawford, Esq., 

 of Middletown, New Jersey. The tree is vigorous and very 

 fruitful. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit very large, oblong, the 

 swollen point at the top prominent -the suture shallow. Skin 

 yellow, with a fine red cheek. Flesh yellow, melting, sweet, 

 rich .and very excellent. It ripens here the last week in Au- 

 gust. Flowers small.
