CLASS II. FLESH DEEP YELLOW. 

 Section L Leaves crenated, with globose glands. 



Baltimore. (Baltimore Beauty.) Rather small, round-oval ; skin 

 deep orange, with a bright-red cheek ; flesh yellow, red at the 

 stone, sweet, good ; mealy when over-ripe. Quite early. Flowers 

 large. Origin, Baltimore, where it is good, but it proves of 

 third-rate quality at the North. 



Barnard.* (Early Barnard, Yellow Barnard.) Rather large, 

 roundish, suture distinct, mostly covered with dark brownish- 

 red ; flesh deep yellow, red at stone, juicy, rich, very good. Tree 

 hardy and a great bearer. Flowers small. This is a seedling of 

 the Yellow Alberge, which it much exceeds in quality.

 somely cheeked ; flesh juicy, rich, very good. Mid-season. A 

 popular market variety in Central New York. Of the Crawford 

 type. New York.

 ton.) Very large, oblong-oval, sometimes round-oval; apex 

 with a prominent point, suture shallow, surface yellow, with a 

 red cheek ; flesh very juicy, rich, slightly sub-acid, of good but 

 not the highest flavor. End of summer and beginning of autumn. 

 Productive. Flowers small. Ranks very high in the Northern, 

 Middle, and Western States, as a market variety. Origin, New 

 Jersey.

 roundish, suture shallow, distinct ; surface yellow, with a broad, 

 dark-red cheek ; flesh red at the stone, rich, juicy, vinous, good. 

 Quite late, or latter part of September. Flowers small. Origin, 

 New Jersey. The common Red Cheek Melocoton is cultivated 

 in some localities under this name. Often a poor bearer. 



Crosby.* Tree prolific, exceptionally hardy ; fruit medium, round, 

 orange-yellow, splashed with red ; flesh yellow, red at the pit 

 juicy, rich. Mid-season. A popular market sort. Fruit apt to 

 be small and inferior unless heavily thinned. Massachusetts.

 sutured ; lemon yellow, blush on sunny side ; flesh pale yellow, 

 tender, juicy. Tree vigorous, large leaves, hardy. A cross of 

 Chinese Cling and Crawford Early. A good shipper. Can be 

 gathered before it is ripe and will ripen up without rotting. Me- 

 dium late. One of the best of the new varieties. Origin, 

 Georgia.
