448 Pomological Notices. 



The large specimens are somewhat remarkable from their 

 obtuse form. In contact with each fruit, I have sent some of 

 the leaves, by which the glands may be seen, but, at this 

 time, our recollection of the blossoms is not sufficiently clear 

 to give a description of them. 



CedarSj Staten Island, August 3, 1847. 



The specimens came safely to hand, in very fine order, 

 and we were much pleased with them, and consider both of 

 them acquisitions, though the Large Early is superior to the 

 other. We annex the following descriptions of each : — 



Jones's Early. — Fruit, medium size, about two inches 

 broad, and two deep : of roundish form, oblique at the apex ; 

 suture shallow, but distinct, extending around the fruit : Skin, 

 yellowish white, beautifully tinged with pale red on the sun- 

 ny side : Flesh, yellowish white, tender and juicy, slightly 

 rayed with red at the stone, from which it separates freely : 

 Juice, abundant, rich, and excellent : Stone, small. Ripe 

 early in August. 



Leaves, crenated, with small, globose glands. 



Jones's Large Early. — Fruit, large, about two and a half 

 inches broad, and only two deep, of roundish form, much 

 flattened at each end ; suture deep, extending around the 

 fruit, terminating in a small point, one half a little larger 

 than the other : Skin, clear delicate white in the shade, green- 

 ish at the apex, and broadly shaded with deep crimson in the 

 sun : Flesh, white, fine, and perfectly melting, rayed with 

 pink at the stone : Juice, very plentiful, rich, sprightly, and 

 delicious : Stone, medium size. Ripe early in August. 



Leaves, crenated, with reniform glands.
