 ing the flesh swelled boldly and equally on both sides, with 

 a slight depression on the summit, where there is usually a 

 small, pointed nipple. Skin pale green or yellowish next 

 the wall ; but of a pale red, marbled and streaked with 

 darker shades on the sunny side, cavity of the .base rather 

 small. Flesh delicate, melting, of a greenish white, but red

This is a most excellent and extremely hardy peach, well 

 deserving of cultivation. It ought invariably to be planted 

 against either a south or south-east wall, as on colder as- 

 pects there is little chance of growing it in perfection.
