THE PEACH. 299 



Kenrick's Heath. [Syn. Freestone He ith.) Very large, 

 oblong, suture slight, apex pointed ; sarface pale green- 

 ish-white, with a purplish red cheek ; flesh deep red at 

 the stone, rather coarse, very juicy, sub-acid, second-rate, 

 sometimes third-rate ; when well grow^n on some locali- 

 ties, it proves a good sub-acid peach. Season, medium 

 or rather late. New-England. 



La Grange. Large, oblong; surface pale greenish-whi^e, 

 rarely tinged with red by the sun; flesh juicy, with a 

 rich, fine flavor. Quite late. Origin, Burlington, N. J., 

 and does not attain a fine flavor much farther north. 



Morris White. {Syn. Morris' White Rareripe, White 

 Rareripe, Lady Ann Steward.) Rather large, roundish, 

 or roundish-oval, often obscurely obovate or a little larger 

 towards the apex, suture small; surface rather downy, of 

 a pale creamy white at maturity, rarely tinged with pur- 

 ple to the sun; flesh slightly firm, wholly white, very free 

 from the drab stone, melting, juicy, with a good, rich fla- 

 vor ; hardly of the highest quality at the north, better in 

 the middle states ; very popular everywhere. Season, 

 medium, or early in autumn. 



Cole's White Melocoton, as usually cultivated, is a sy- 

 nonym ; but when genuine, is quite distinct, according 

 to T. Hancock, being larger, heavier, and rounder, and 

 ripening two weeks later. 



Snow. Large, globular, suture distinct only at apex ; skin 

 thin, wholly white ; flesh white to the stone, juic}', sweet, 

 rich. First of autumn. Very variable ; sometimes worth- 

 less for the table ; a beautiful peach for preserving. 



Strawberry. {Syn. Rose.) Size medium, oval, cavity 

 deep, suture passing half round ; surface mostly i;:arbled 

 with deep red * flesh whitish, melting, rich, of fine flavor 

 Early.
