ish, little flattened at the base, one side slightly larger than 

 the other; suture shallow and indis- 

 tinct, extending to the apex : Skin, 

 of a fine clear violet red, slightly mot- 

 tled with a deeper shade, covered

 a thin lilac bloom : Stem, medium 

 length, about one inch, slender, and 

 inserted in a small, rather deep hol-

 and separating from the stone : Juice, 

 abundant, rich, brisk, vinous, and 

 high flavored : Stone, rather large, 

 oval, compressed. Ripe the end of 

 August and beginning of Septem- 

 ber. 



The rich and beautiful color of the ^^s- ^s- J^dson Plum. 

 Judson, {Jig. 38), will render it a great favorite, aside from its 

 other fine qualities : though not quite equal to the Catherine, 

 it ranks among the very best, and is deserving a place in 

 every good collection. 



We learn that Messrs. Wilson Thorburn & Teller have a 

 few trees of each of the above sorts for sale. — Ed. 



Art. IV. Notice of Tico Seedling Peaches. By S. T. Jones, 

 Esq., Staten Island, N. Y. With Descriptions of the Fruit. 

 By THE Editor. 



Dear Sir, — I have forwarded to you a small box, contain- 

 ing specimens of two seedling peaches raised in my garden, 

 and which have borne fruit the present year the first time. 



They are considered valuable, not only for their size and 

 flavor, but from .ripening in advance of all the other peaches 

 in my cold houses, and, I hope, may also meet with your 

 favorable opinion. 



My gardener, Mr. Kennedy, who, I believe, is a correspond- 

 ent of yours, has distinguished the two sorts by the names of 

 Jones's Early and Jones's Large Early.
