We wish to premise here, that the Morris* White be- 

 longs to a class of peaches entirely distinct from all those 

 we have already described. They are called, in general 

 terms, white peaches, but this distinctive character is only 

 relatively so, and does not extend throughout ; and the 

 reader will have observed that, in all our descriptions of 

 the fruit, we attribute to it some degree of redness at the 

 stone. Now, the Morris' White belongs to a class entirely 

 different in this respect. The flesh of this class lacks this 

 interior red tinge, and is a pure white throughout, and 

 thus draws a line of distinction as broad, as deep, and as 

 well defined as that which separates the white and yellow 

 fleshed. In some respects, more so ; for the white peaches 

 have white skins, are never red cheeked, and seldom ever 

 mottled ; while the deep red blush is alike common to white 

 and yellow fleshed peaches. Other distinctive peculiarities 

 might be mentioned. White are more subject to crack 

 than either of the other classes. They ripen more together, 

 nearly all coming in at one time. They never attain the 

 size of either of the others, and they are drier, and less 

 subject to rot. 



Hence, Freestone Peaches are properly subdivided into 

 Red, White, and Yellow, according to the color of the 

 flesh. 



The Morris'' White is a native, and very popular. For 

 many years it has stood at the head of white peaches, 

 and it has, to-day, no admitte^ superior, although one or
