PEACHES. 



PRINCE'S RED RARERIPE. PR. CAT. 

 This is a seedling from the common Red Rareripe, rather 

 larger than it in size, and resembling it in colour; the flesh 

 is melting, rich, and juicy. The tree is very productive; the 

 fruit is a freestone, ripens^ in August, and is well calculated for 

 supplying the markets. 



ALGIERS' YELLOW. PR. CAT. 



Algiers' yellow winter clingstone. Yellow October clingstone. 

 I first obtained the present variety in 1801, from an amateur 

 iu Philadelphia. This peach, even at the end of September, is 

 greenish, and of very indifferent appearance; but in the course 

 of the month of October it swells and becomes a handsome 

 round fruit, of medium size, and of a beautiful yellow colour. 

 I have often found them in this state so late in the season that 

 nearly all the leaves had fallen, and the remaining ones were 

 so yellow as to resemble the fruit in colour. It is not a supe- 

 rior fruit, but of good quality and pleasant flavour for one that 

 ripens at so late a period ; the flesh strongly adheres to the 

 stone. The tree is not a good bearer, and the flowers are of 

 a large size. This variety was also imported from England, 

 many years since, under a different and erroneous title. I do 

 not perceive any peach so named in the Catalogue of the 

 London Horticultural Society. It appears to be allied to the 

 class called Alberge by the French. 



TEINDOUX. PR. CAT. DUH. LOND. HORT. CAT. 



TcintDonx. \ Tein Dou. For. 



The leaves of this tree are attended at their base with 

 rounded glands, and its flowers, which are of medium size, 

 are eleven or twelve lines in breadth. The fruit is twenty-six 

 lines in diameter, and twenty-four in height, and divided into 

 two sections, somewhat unequal, by a suture which is nearly 

 of the same extent upon both sides ; there are commonly at 

 the extremity two small cavities, in the middle of which rises 

 a small elevation in the form of a mamelon. The skin is 

 slightly coloured next to the sun, and detaches readily from
