gathered than any other Peach, except the Cling- 

 stones. From its reputed capability of bearing as 

 a standard, it would be probably found to ripen on 

 an east or west wall. 



LEAVES doubly serrated, rather larger than 

 usual, without glands. 



FLOWERS large, pale. 



FRUIT middle-sized, generally depressed at the 

 apex, with a broad shallow suture on one side, and 

 slight traces of one on the other. COLOUR on the 

 shaded side pale dull green, next the sun broadly 

 marbled with broken blotches of dull purplish red. 

 FLESH greenish yellow, with a slight stain of purple 

 next the stone, from which it parts freely, very rich 

 and juicy, with an extremely agreeable vinous 

 flavour. STONE middle-sized, oval, pointed, rather 

 rugged.
