 deep red next the sun ; the flesh is also of a deep

 frame against the wall. This would greatly forward the ripen-

 it would amply recompence any one for the trouble, by furnish-^ 

 ing a supply of fruit for the table till the middle of November. 

 This would also assist in ripening the wood well for the succeed- 

 ing year. 



This Peach is excellent for tarts.
