302 THE PEACH. 



Sub-section II. Floiven small. 



BERGEN'S YELLOW. Very large, round, slightly ob- 

 late ; suture distinct, passing more than half round ; sur- 

 face deep orange, with a broad deep red cheek; flesh 

 juicy, rich, excellent. Ripens the first of autumn. This 

 is perhaps the finest of all yellow-fleshed peaches. Origin^ 

 Long Island, N. Y. 



It differs from the Yellow Rareripe in its more oblate form, 

 darker color, superior flavor, and later maturity, and m 

 its reniform glands. 



Columbia. Large ; roundish-oblate ; suture distinct, pass- 

 ing half way round ; skin rough, rather thick, dull dingy 

 red, with spots of darker red ; flesh yellow, rich, juicy, 

 of excellent flavor. Origin, New Jersey. Ripens early 

 in autumn. Shoots dark reddish purple. 



DIVISION II. CLINGSTONES OR PAVIES. 



Class I. Flesh, pale o.i light colori^d. 



Section I. Leaves serrated, ivithout glands. 



Suh-section I. Flowers large. 



Old Newington. {Syri. Newington, Large Newington.) 

 Large, roundish, suture slight ; surface nearly white, 

 with a fine red cheek, somewhat streaked with darker red; 

 flesh nearly white, deep red at the stone ; somewhat 

 melting, juicy, rich. Season, rather late, or middle of 

 9 mo. (Sept.) 



A sub-variety, cultivated to a considerable extent in this 

 country, has globose glands. 



Smithes Newington. {Syn. Early Newington.) Size, me- 

 dium ; roundish-oval, narrower at apex, one side slightly 

 enlarged; surface pale yellow, with a lively red cheek,' 

 streaked with purple ; flesh bright red at the stone, juicy, 

 good. Ripens end of summer. 



This is of English origin, and is quite distinct from the 

 Early Newington Freestone, a melting (not jirni-Jieshed) 

 peach, often adhering to the stone.
