Large Yellow Pine Apple. Coxe's View, 24. 



Leaves crenated, with reniform glands. Flowers small, 

 deep red, petals very short. Fruit large, of an oval shape, 

 projecting and terminating with a nipple at the apex ; large, 

 and full at the bottom ; in appearance much like a large le- 

 mon. Skin deep yellow, with a brownish red on the expo- 

 sed side. Flesh firm, of a deep lemon colour, with a little 

 red at the stone, to v/hich it firmly adheres. Juice abun- 

 dant, rich, vinous and sprightly, sweet, with an agreeable 

 acidity ; and when perfectly ripe, most excellent. 



Ripe the middle and latter end of September. 



This is an old resident of our gardens ; by all accounts 

 it was first brought here by Mr. Robert Kennedy, from Caro- 

 lina, about forty years ago ; it was generally called Kennedy's 

 Carolina. Two kinds used to be cultivated, as was supposed 

 different sorts, designated by early and late. A number 

 of seminal varieties have been cultivated by different names 

 as above. The Pine Apple Cling is more round ; Hoyte's

 with slight variation, of the same type, and no one kind equal

 true sort are yet to be found in New-York, but the 

 greater part cultivated as Lemon Clingstones are very infe- 

 rior. I would recommend to all the Nurserymen to culti- 

 vate the old kind only : the fruit is much sought after for 

 making the finest sweetmeats. The trees should have a 

 good warm dry situation to ripen in perfection. I sent it to 

 the Hort. Soc. in 1823.

 Saarte Mout, or Aunt Sarah's Peach. 



Fruit very large, of rather an irregular shape, inclining to 

 the oval form ; suture very slight, one cheek projecting out
