PEACHES. 



WHITE RARERIPE. Pr. cat. 



Morris^ white. Morris' white Rareripe. 



This variety originated in the nursery of the grandfather of 

 the author. The fruit is of fair size, measuring rather more than 

 two inches in each direction ; the form varies in some degree, 

 a part of the fruit being oval, while another portion inclines to 

 a round shape ; the skin is a pale yellow, in some cases without 

 any redness upon it, but it frequently has a dash of red on the 

 sunny side, or is partially striped or mottled with red over a 

 small part of its surface, where most exposed to the sun ; the 

 flesh is a pale, greenish yellow, rich, juicy, and of excellent 

 flavour, and separates freely from the stone. The tree is 

 vigorous, and bears abundantly, and the fruit ripens at the 

 end of A-ugust. 



JACQUES' RARERIPE. Pr. cat. Thatcher. 

 Fes. amer. card. 



Jacques' yellow Rareripe. 



This peach, which I received from the vicinity of Boston, is 

 said to have originated there. The flowers are of a medium 

 sine ; the fruit is of good size, of a yellow colour with a red 

 cheek, and of an excellent quality. Some specimens of this 

 fruit have been produced weighing from seventeen to nineteen 

 ounces, but the tree was in an exceedingly rich soil and highly 

 favorable situation, this being far beyond the usual size. It 

 ripens from the beginning to the middle of September. 



SARGENT'S RARERIPE. Pk. cat. 

 Pearl-street. 



This variety originated in the garden of Daniel Sargent, 

 Esq. Pearl-street, Boston, and from these circumstances has 

 derived its titles. The flowers are of large size, and the fruit 

 of a yellow colour, good size, and excellent flavour. The tree 

 is very productive, but somewhat subject to the mildew upon 

 the extremities of the young shoots. The fruit ripens about 

 the middle of September.
