166 PEACHES. 



This is not the Veritable C/iiance//iere of Duhamel, which 

 has large flowers, and must be considered as the true Chan- 

 cellor; but appears to be mentioned by him at the conclu- 

 sion of his description of that fruit. The Chancellor Peach 

 is said to have been raised from a seed of the Chevereux, in 

 the garden of M. de Seguier, Chancellor of France.

The Early Admirable Peach ripened at Twickenham, in 

 1727, on a south-east wall, August 3d, O. S., or August 

 14th, N. S. — Langley. 



This Peach, although by no means an early one, has been 

 called the Early Admirable in the time of Miller, a name 

 which cannot now be abandoned, because we have another 

 peach called the Late Admirable. M. Noisktte, in the 

 Bon. Jard., makes his Belle de Vitry a synonym of it ; but 

 in this he is not sanctioned by Duhamel, who has always 

 been considered as of unquestionable authority.
