THE PEACH. 301 



red at the stone, juicy, with a good, rich, vinous flavor, 

 not of first-rate quality. Ripens rather late, or during the 

 last half of 9 mo., (Sept.,) in the middle states about the 

 first of autumn. Extensively cultivated as a market 

 peach. 



SCOTT'S NONPAREIL. Large, roundish, slightly oblong, sur- 

 face deep yellow with a red cheek, resembling Crawford's 

 Late, but sweeter. Origin, Burlington, N. J., where it 

 ripens about the 12th of 9 mo., (Sept.) New. 



Yellow Alberge. (Syn. Purple Alberge, Yellow Rareripe, 

 erroneously.) Size medium; roundish, suture distinct, 

 passing half round ; skin yellow, with a deep purplish 

 red cheek ; flesh deep red at the stone, juicy, sweet, 

 pleasant, of second-rate flavor. 



This is distinct from the Early Barnard or Alberge of 

 western New-York, a sub-variety superior to the original. 



The Rosanna, another sub-variety, ten days later, and with 

 reniform glands, is cultivated in some localities under the 

 name of Yellow Alberge.

 passing half round ; apex with a small point ; surface

 summer, and first of autumn. One of the best yellow 

 peaches. There are several spurious and inferior sub- 

 varieties.

 low, or faintly reddened next the sun ; flesh slightly red 

 at the stone, firm, and rather dry ; 'flavor sweet and agree-
