 young wood resembles that of the willow tree. 



No. 12. Orange Freestone. 



This peach is of medium size ; the form 

 round ; the skin a deep orange yellow ; flesh 

 yellow and sweet, but rather dry ; a beautiful 

 and good fruit. Ripe in September. 



No. 13. Congress Clingstone. 



The size is large, form round ; skin yellow 

 and bright red ; flesh rich and excellent. Ripe 

 in September. 



No. 14. Qhlmtion Clingstone. 



Large, round and rather flat ; skin whitish yel- 

 low, with a bright red cheek, beautifully spot- 

 ted with red dots. Of all the clingstone 

 peaches this is the most delicious ; a great 

 bearer, ripening its fruit gradually in Septem- 

 ber. We have cultivated this peach, and the 

 Catharine and old Newington, and could never 

 perceive any difference in the fruit or trees.
