this country as the Belle de Vitry, which is a distinct variety. 

 We find it early, and very prolific.

 the stone, melting, and juicy, with a good, rich, sweet flavour. 

 Middle of August. Flowers large. 



EARLY CHELMSFORD. 

 Mammoth. 



Leaves glandless. Fruit large, roundish ; suture clear round, 

 deep on one side. Skin white, with a bright red cheek. Flesh 

 white, very melting and juicy; of a very delicious, slightly 

 vinous flavour. Freestone. 20th to last of August. Hardy, 

 vigorous, and productive; one of the best, handsomest, and largest 

 of early peaches. (Cole.) It also succeeds well at the south, and 

 is one of their most profitable market varieties. 



EDWARD'S LATE WHITE. 



From Dr. Baldwin, Montgomery, Alabama. Fruit large, 

 roundish, depressed at the summit. Suture distinct ; point at 

 the apex small and slightly sunken. Skin moderately downy, 

 white, with a beautiful waxen red cheek. Flesh white, red at 

 the stone, slightly adherent ; sweet, juicy, and of excellent fla- 

 vour. Ripe first of October, and continues all the month. (Wrn.

EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. Floy. Thomp. 



Cut-Leaved. Serrated. 



New Cut-Leaved Unique. 



A very rich and fine-flavoured peach, raised by Mr. Floy, in

 are very deeply cut, or serrated on the edges. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit large, roundish, and 

 broad, with one half more swollen than the other. Skin downy, 

 dull yellowish-white, with a dark red cheek. Flesh yellowish- 

 white, rather firm, rich, and high -flavoured. Last of August* 

 Flowers small. 



FAVOURITE. Coxe. 

 Favourite Red. 



A capital orchard fruit, of large size, hardy, and a most abun- 

 dant bearer. It is a very good native peach, though not of high 

 flavour. 



Leaves with obscure, globose glands, often with none. Fruit 

 large, oblong or oval. Skin white, rather downy, much covered
