CLINGSTONE PEACHES. 495 



out variation, in that State. The tree is vigorous, long lived, 

 and moderately productive ; with the shortening-in mode of 

 pruning, the fruit is always large and fine, otherwise often poor. 

 This tree is well deserving of a place on the espalier rail or 

 wall, at the north. 



Leaves nearly smooth on the edges, with reniform glands. 

 Fruit very large, oblong, narrowing to both ends, and terminat- 

 ing at the top with a large swollen point : the suture distinct on 

 one side. Skin downy, cream-coloured white, with a faint 

 blush or tinge of red in the sun, or a brownish cheek. Flesh 

 greenish white, very tender and melting, exceedingly juicy, 

 with the richest, highest, and most luscious flavour, surpassed 

 by no other variety. It adheres very closely to the stone. It 

 ripens in October, and frequently keeps for a month after being 

 gathered. Flowers small. 



BAYNE'S NEW HEATH, is a recent seedling, very similar in all 

 respects, originated lately by Dr. Bayne, of Alexandria, D. C. 

 It is considered rather finer by some. 



65. INCOMPARABLE. Lind. Thorp. 



Pavie Admirable. J5n. Jard. Ken. 

 Late Admirable Cling. 



Larger than the Catherine, which it resembles. It is inferior

Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large, roundish, one 

 side enlarged. Skin pale yellowish white, light red on the ex- 

 posed side. Flesh yellowish white, red at the stone, juicy, 

 melting, and of agreeable flavour. Last of September. Flowers 

 small.

New York White Clingstone. Floy. 

 Williamson's New York. 

 Selby's Cling. 



The Large White Clingstone is by far the most popular of this 

 class of peaches in this State, and in New England. We think 

 it superior to the Catherine, and old Newington, and only sur- 

 passed in flavour by the old Mixon cling, and the Heath cling. 



This variety was raised about forty years ago by David 

 Williamson, a nurseryman, in New York, and was first de- 

 scribed by Floy as the New York Clingstone. But as it is uni- 

 versally known now by the present title, we have placed the ori- 

 ginal names as synonymes. The light colour, and excellent 

 quality of this fruit, render it the greatest favourite for preservin /
