 to large size ; color whitish-green, marbled with red , 

 deepening into dark purple-crimson in the sun ; flesh 

 greenish-white, with an abundance of sweet, vinous 

 juice; adheres some to the stone, like Amsden, 

 Hale's Early, etc. Ripened at Waterloo, July 14, 

 1878. In 1879, three or four days ahead of Alexan- 

 der. For so early a peach it is a remarkable keep- 

 er, ripe specimens having been kept in perfect con- 

 dition nearly a week. This makes it valuable for 

 shipping.
