PEACHES. 223 



Form, oblong, shaped somewhat like the Heath Cling; 

 color, greenish white, generally some red on the side of 

 the sun; leaves, with reniform glands; flowers, small; 

 flesh, pale, melting, juioy, high flavored, delicious and 

 sweet; size, 1; quality, 1; season, October; freestone. 



Eemarks. — Part of its great value is its very late 

 maturity. It has also fine flavor. It is valuable both for 

 the table and preserving, the latter for its lateness. 



Hyslop. Form, oblate roundish ; glands, reniform ; 

 flowers, small; flesh, juicy, melting, lich, luscious; color, 

 white, deep rich red cheek; size, 1; quality, 1; season, 

 September; clingstone. 



Remarks. — For Northern climates this is a most desira- 

 ble fruit — more so than the Heath Cling. The latter is 

 best for us, and nothing of the kind is capable of taking 

 its place, from its peculiar qualities, lateness and firmness, 

 juiciness, etc., for preserves in particular. Trees of the 

 Hyslop prolific, healthy and most hardy. 



INC03IPARABLE, Pavie Admirable, Late Admirable^ Cling. 

 Remarks. — This is only worthy of cultivation for mar- 

 ket. Season, September. 



Jaques, Jaques' Rareripe. Form, round ; glands, reni- 

 form ; flowers, small; flesh, yellow, red at stone; color, 

 downy dull yellow, with a red cheek ; size, 1 ; qualit}^, 1 ; 

 season. iVugust ; freestone. 



Remarks. — A good market variety. Not of the high- 

 est flavor, bat very saleable. A very sure bearer. Juicy, 

 rich, slightly sub-acid. Vigorous and productive. There 

 are various opinions regarding the character of this peach. 

 It is good in some places and indiff'erent in others. It is 

 not so eas}^ to determine the characters of peaches and 

 pear5 as apples — so many new are continually coming in.
