ish, flattened at each end ; suture deep, one half a little large? 

 than the other. Skin delicate white, broadly shaded with deep 

 crimson in the sun. Flesh white, pink at the stone, very juicy, 

 rich, sprightly, and delicious. Freestone. Middle of August 

 (Hov. Mag.) 



KENRICK'S HEATH. Ken. 

 Freestone Heath. 



A large, showy, oblong peach, often growing to the largest 

 size, and a very hardy tree, but the quality of the fruit is only 

 second rate. This sort, which is a native of New-England, is 

 vigorous, and bears large crops. It is quite distinct from the 

 celebrated Heath Cling. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit very large, oblong, with 

 a slight suture, and a small swollen point at the top. Skin pale 

 greenish-white, with a purplish red cheek. Flesh greenish- 

 white, deep red at the stone, a little coarse, melting, quite juicy, 

 with a pleasant sub-acid flavour. Middle of September. Flow- 

 ers small. 



LADY PARHAM. 



Glands reniform. Flowers small. Fruit large, roundish, one 

 side larger than the other, depressed at the summit ; suture dis- 

 tinctly marked, the swollen point small. Skin yellowish-white, 

 downy. Flesh pale, red at the stone, firm, with a rich, vinous 

 flavour, resembling Baldwin, but superior. Middle of October. 

 Freestone. (W. N. White, MS.) 



LA GRANGE. 



The La Grange is a white freestone peach, of very late matu- 

 rity, large size, and fine flavour. It was originated from seed 

 five or six years ago in the garden of Mr. John Hulse, Burling- 

 ton, New-Jersey. 



Its late period of maturity, its colour, its productiveness, and 

 size, have already given it <|uite a reputation among the exten- 

 sive gmwers of New- Jersey, and it is undoubtedly a most valua- 

 ble fruit, not only for the table but for preserving at the most 

 desirable period for this purpose, late in the season. It was 

 first brought into notice and disseminated by Mr. Thomas Han- 

 cock. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large, oblong, shaped 

 somewhat like the Heath Cling. Skin greenish-white, with 

 occasionally some red on the sunny side. Flesh pale, juicy, 

 melting, very rich, sweet, high-flavoured, and delicious. Last 

 of Sept jmber, and beginning of October. Flowers small.
