496 THE PEACH. 



in brandy or sugar. The tree is remarkably hardy and long 

 lived ; rarely, if ever, being attacked by the yellows. It bears 

 regular and good crops. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large, round ; the su- 

 ture slight, and the swollen point at the top small. Skin white 

 (inclining to yellow only when over ripe), dotted with red 

 on the sunny side, or with a light red cheek when fully exposed. 

 Flesh whitish, tender, very melting, full of juice, which is very 

 sweet, luscious, and high flavoured. Beginning and middle of 

 September. Flowers small. 



67. LEMON CLINGSTONE. Floy. Thomp. 



Kennedy's Carolina. Pom, Man. Long Yellow Pine Apple. Coxe. 

 Kennedy's Lemon Clingstone. Pine Apple Clingstone. 



Largest Lemon. Yellow Pine Apple. 



The Lemon Clingstone is one of the largest, and most beau- 

 tiful of all the yellow fleshed clings, and though of course infe- 

 rior in flavour to the white fleshed, is deserving of its universal 

 popularity. It is originally a native of South Carolina, and 

 was brought from thence by a Mr. Kennedy, of New York, be- 

 fore the war of the Revolution. There are now many seedlings 

 reproduced from it, but none superior to the original. This is 

 a very productive, hardy tree. 



Leaves long, with reniform glands. Fruit large, oblong, 

 narrowed at the top, and having a large, projecting, swollen 

 point, much like that of a lemon. Skin fine yellow, with a 

 dark brownish red cheek. Flesh firm, yellow, slightly red at 

 the stone, adhering firmly, with a rich, sprightly, vinous, sub- 

 acid flavour. Middle and last of September. Flowers small. 



68. LATE YELLOW ALBERGE. Pom. Man. 



October Yellow. 

 Algiers Yellow. 

 Algiers Winter. 



A very late Clingstone Peach, entirely yellow, scarcely goou 

 for eating, but esteemed by some for preserving. It was ori- 

 ginally introduced from the south of France, and has been con- 

 siderably cultivated here, but we have abandoned it. The 

 Heath cling is in every way greatly its superior. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit of medium size, round- 

 ish oval, with a small distinct suture. Skin downy, green till 

 the last of September, but at maturity being yellow. Flesh 

 yellow to the stone, very firm, rather juicy, sweet. October. 

 Flowers large.
