THE PEACH. 021 



Martin Hoffrr.an, Esq., but first disseminated from the garden ol 

 Gouverneur Morris, of Morrisania, near New York. It is a good 

 fruit, but its place has been taken, of late, by other more popu- 

 lar sorts. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit very large and heavy, 

 nearly round. Skin dull greenish-white, with a brownish-red 

 cheek. Flesh pale yellow, firm, juicy, sugary, and rich in 

 flavour. Ripens the middle and last of September. Flowers 

 small. 



MOLDEN'S WHITE. 



Origin, Molden Mountain, on the Chesapeake ; a fine white 

 peach, valuable for its lateness. 



Fruit large, oblong; suture on one side, distinct; one side 

 usually a little larger than the other. Skin creamy white, rare- 

 ly with a tinge of red. Flesh white to the stone, juicy, sweet, 

 melting, and excellent. Separates from the stone. Ripe last of 

 September, and first of October. (Thos. Harvey, MS.)

 fine, juicy, of a rich vinous flavour; stone small. Free. Sep- 

 tember 1st to 15th. (Cole.) 



MOORE'S JUNE. 



Below medium, globular ; suture shallow ; cavity deep. Skin 

 yellowish, nearly covered in the shade with red dots and mar- 

 blings, and deep red in the sun. Flesh white, marbled with red 

 from the skin to the stone in the darker coloured ones, but red 

 only at the stone where grown in the shade, juicy, vinous, plea- 

 santly flavoured and good. Last of June and first of July. 

 Flowers small. Glands reniform. (Freestone.) Or gin, Athens, 

 Ga. (Wm. N. White, MS.)

 pressed at apex; suture shallow, but distinct. Skin downy, yel- 

 lowish-white, dotted with red and having a dull red cheek.

 fine flavour. Ripens the first of September, and continues near- 

 ly all the month. Separates from the stone. A hardy and 

 desirable kind. (Wm. N. White, MS.)
