PEACHES. 226 



Late Eed Rareripe, Prince's Red Rareripe. 



Eemarks. — One of the best for general culture; season, 



August. 



Lemon Clingstone. 



Remarks. — Large and popular for market. Native of 

 South Carolina. Season, September. Clingstone peaches 

 arc not generally appreciated. Certainly, in comparison 

 with them for immediate, and convenient and delicious 

 eating, the freestone peach, 2:ipovided it is sufficiently 

 juicy, is generally preferred. But for some culinary pur- 

 poses, they are greatly superior to freestones. There is a 

 firmness, substance, flavor, and juiciness possessed by them 

 which gives them advantages when made into pies and 

 pickles. They may be sent to more distant markets, or 

 kept longer at home, than other varieties. They may be 

 picked and remain several days before fully ripe, while 

 freestones have to be hurried off for immediate sale. The 

 Late Heath Clingstone can be picked a little time before 

 frost, and kept sometimes several weeks on shelves in a 

 cool placC; and for a much longer time in a Schooley Fruit 

 House — a considerable time into Winter.
