PEACHES. 137 



CooLEDGE'sFAVOUEiTE. Fruit medium sized, roundish, 

 with a well-defined suture, which is most marked towards 

 the apex, and rather higher on one side than the other. 

 Skin white, covered with crimson dots, and with a crim- 

 son cheek on the side next the sun. Flesh very tender 

 and melting, separating freely from the stone, juicy and 

 sweet, and with a fine delicate flavour. Glands round. 

 Flowers small. This is a very fine peach. Ripens in the 

 last week in August. 



CEAWFOED'S EAELY (Crawford's Early Malecoton). 

 Fruit very large, of a roundish and slightly oblate shape, 

 depressed at the crown, from which issues a rather 

 shallow suture, much higher on one side than the other. 

 Skin thin, of a deep lemon colour, but on the side next 

 the sun it has a reddish-orange blush, strewed with nu- 

 merous, distinct, dark crimson dots. Flesh yellow, red- 

 dish at the stone, from which it separates freely ; very 

 tender and melting, remarkably succulent, with a deli- 

 cious saccharine and vinous juice. Glands round. Flowers 

 small. End of August and beginning of September. 



This is a very large and most delicious peach, with a 

 yellow flesh like an apricot, and is deserving of very 

 extensive cultivation. 



DESSE TAEDIVE. Fruit large, round, flat at the top 

 and marked with a deep suture at the stalk. Skin of a 

 very pale colour, covered on the shaded side with minute 

 red dots, and a light tinge of red next the sun. Flesh 

 pale greenish- white, with a faint rosy tinge next the 

 stone, melting, very juicy, sweet, richly flavoured, and 

 vinous. Glands round. Flowers small. Ripe in the end 

 of September and beginning of October. 



This is one of the very best late peaches. There is a 

 Desse Hdtive quite distinct from this, which ripens in the 

 middle of August, having kidney-shaped glands and large 

 flowers.
