292 THE PEACH. 



grow too rapid, while the fruit is insipid. It seems to do equally well in 

 sandy or loamy soil, but in the former will probably sooner require some 

 specific stimulant. Flowers, small j glands, globose j fruit, large or above 

 medium, roundish, broad, depressed at apex; suture, not deep, but well 

 marked, and the fruit often one side enlarged ; skin, yellowish white, tinged 

 or marbled with light purplish red towards the sun ] flesh, nearly white, 

 melting, juicy, sweet, delicate, delicious flavor. Free-stone. Last of Au- 

 gust. 



WHITE CLING-STONE. 



Large White Cling-stone, I Now York White Cling-stono, 

 Williamson's New York, | Selbey's Cling. 



American. We think the Oldmixon preferable, and this variety suited 

 to large orchards. 



Flowers, small ; glands, globose , fruit, large, round, small swollen point 

 at apex ; suture, shallow skin, yellowish white, little covered or dotted 

 with red, where exposed to sun ; flesh, whitish, tender, melting, juicy, sweet, 

 high flavor. Early September. 



YELLOW RARERIPE. 



Yellow Red Rareripe, I Marie Antoinette, 

 Large Yellow Rareripe, | French Rareripe. 



American. As a market or garden variety, this has no equal amon 

 yellow-fleshed fruits. Cultivators should, however, be careful of the cor- 

 rectness of their trees, as an old sort, far inferior, and often known under 

 name of Yellow Malacatune, is frequently grown for this variety. Flowers, 

 small ; glands, reniform j fruit, large, roundish ; suture, shallow, extending 

 rather more than half round, a small point at apex ; skin, deep orange yel- 

 low, dotted somewhat with red, the cheek rich red, shaded off in streaks ; 

 flesh, deep yellow, red at the stone, juicy, melting, rich, vinous, nearly first- 

 i ate flavor. Free-stone. 20th to last August. 



CLASS II. Embraces many new varieties, and others suited only to certain 

 localities or very large orchards. 



ALLEN. 



American. Small, roundish ; white, red cheek \ juicy. Free-stone. 

 Middle September. (Cole.) 



ASTOR. 



American. Glands, globose : fruit, above medium, yellowish white, red 

 cheek, deficient in flavor. Last of August. 



AT WATER. 

 American. Closely resembles President, and may prove identical. 



AUSTIN'S LATE RED. 



A large fruit ; juicy and excellent. Its late maturity makes it a valua- 

 ble variety for preserves. Latter part of October.
