302 THE PEACH. 



Sub-section II. Flowers small. 



BERGEN'S YELLOW. Very large, round, . slightly ob- 

 late ; suture distinct, passing more than half round ; sur- 

 face deep orange, with a broad deep red cheek; flesh 

 juicy, rich, excellent. Ripens the first of autumn. This 

 is perhaps the finest of all yellow-fleshed peaches. Origin, 

 Long Island, N. Y. 



It differs from the Yellow Rareripe in its more oblate form, 

 darker color, superior flavor, and later maturity, and in 

 its reniform glands. 



COLUMBIA. Large ; roundish-oblate ; suture distinct, pass- 

 ing half way round ; skin rough, rather thick, dull dingy 

 red, with spots of darker red; flesh yellow, rich, juicy, 

 of excellent flavor. Origin, .New Jersey. Ripens early 

 in autumn. Shoots dark reddish purple. 



DIVISION II. CLINGSTONES OR PAVIES. 



CLASS I. FLESH, PALE 01 LIGHT COLORED. 



Section I. Leaves serrated, without glands. 



Sub-section L Flowers large. 



Old Newington. (Syn. Newington, Large Newington.) 

 Large, roundish, suture slight ; surface nearly white, 

 with a fine red cheek, somewhat streaked with darker red ; 

 flesh nearly white, deep red at the stone ; somewhat 

 melting, juicy, rich. Season, rather late, or middle of 

 9 mo. (Sept.) 



A sub-variety, cultivated to a considerable extent in this 

 country, has globose glands. 



Smith's Newington. (Syn. Early Newington.) Size, me- 

 dium ; roundish-oval, narrower at apex, one side slightly 

 enlarged; surface pale yellow, with a lively red cheek, 

 streaked with purple ; flesh bright red at the stone, juicy, 

 good. Ripens end of summer. 



This is of English origin, and is quite distinct from the 

 Early Newington Freestone, a melting (not firm-fleshed) 

 peach, often adhering to the stone.
