 Fruit small, so much depressed at both ends as to form a 

 deep hollow on each ; in the top one is set a broad, rough, 

 and five-angled eye. Skin pale yellowish-green, mottled 

 with red next the sun. Flesh pale yellow, free, red at 

 the stone, sweet, juicy, and noyeau flavoured ; forces 

 well in pots. Middle and end of September. Flowers 

 large. Glands kidney-shaped. 



I believe this peach does not now exist in this country, 

 all the trees having been killed by the severe frost of 

 1838.
