 rich heavy soils. 



Fruit, large : form, roundish oblong, slightly conical ; color, green, be- 

 coming rich yellow ; oily surface : stem, long, slender ; cavity, narrow ; 

 calyx, small, nearly closed; basin, deep, furrowed; flesh, yellowish white, 

 rather coarse, sub-acid, fine aroma; core, medium or small; seeds, ovate,

MAIDEN'S BLUSH. 



American. Tree a rapid grower, forming a fine spreading head ; suc- 

 ceeds, so far as producing annually and abundantly, in all soils ; much the 

 best, however, in those termed " limestone clay.' 7 Valued for cooking, for 

 drying, and salable in market on account of its handsome appearance. 



Fruit, medium to large ; form, roundish flattened ; color, clear lemon 

 yellow, with red cheek, varying from faint blush to rich crimson ; stem, 

 short ; calyx, closed ; basin, medium, abrupt : core, medium ; flesh, white, 

 fine-grained, tender, sprightly, rather sharp sub-acid unless fully ripened.
