 Belle Audigeoise, 



Raised in England, in 1806. Its superior 

 qualities have made it a great traveler, and 

 although often introduced to notice, under a 

 new name, it is always worthy place. 



The trees grow vigorously, with a spread- 

 ing, rather drooping habit ; leaves, with pur- 

 plish footstalks. First introduced to this 

 country in 1823. 



Fruit, large, long, heart-shape, pointed; 

 color, beautiful light yellow ground, mottled 

 and streaked with bright glossy red ; flesh, 

 yellowish, radiating lines not bold, half ten- 

 der, when fully ripe, nearly tender, juicy, 

 sweet, with an exceedingly rich, high flavor ; 

 pit, above medium, oval, rounded, with a 

 sharp point ; stem, long and slender, set in 

 rather a deep basin ; very productive. Sea- 

 son, last of June.
