LIST OF PEACHES. 117 



only the sum paid for the trees, but the morti- 

 fication (which can only be known to those 

 who have experienced it) after having planted 

 the trees a few years, of seeing them diseased 

 and gradually dwindling away. Peaches will 

 grow by grafting, but they never do well, being 

 sure to gum, and get diseased where the scion 

 is put on the stock. In the explanatory list 

 will be found a description of the best sorts, 

 with their seasons for ripening, &c. 



EXPLANATORY LIST OF PEACHES. 



Par. 121 Noblesse ; this peach is large and 

 handsome, of a red colour where they are ex- 

 posed to the sun ; it is a fine melter, and very full 

 of rich juice ; it is a good bearer, and ripens 

 early in September. 



2. Montauban ; this is a fine melting peach, 

 and full of juice, of a deep red towards the sun ; 

 it is agood bearer, and ripens earlyin September. 



3. Vanguard; this peach is in every respect 

 so much like the Noblesse that many persons 

 think it the same, but it is not ; the tree is 

 rather of stronger growth, and the fruit some- 

 thing larger ; there is but little difference in 

 their time for getting ripe.
