0~ THE PEACH. 



flavour ; an acquisition. Middle of September. (Ga. Pom. S 

 Rep.) 



PRINCE'S PARAGON. 



Tree very vigorous and very productive. Fruit large, oval. 

 Skin yellowish-green, shaded with red. Flesh juicy, luscious, 

 and fine flavour. Separates from the stone. Ripens about the 

 middle of September. (Wm. R. Prince, MS.) 



RED RARERIPE. 



Large Red Rareripe, of some. 

 Early Red Rareripe. 



This remarkably fine early peach is a very popular one with 

 us, and has been cultivated for many years in this State. It 

 strongly resembles the Royal George, and we believe it an Ame- 

 rican seedling from that variety, which is, however, distinct, and 

 superior in flavour. 



It must be observed, that this is totally different both from 

 the Early York and Morris's Red Rareripe, with which it is 

 often confounded by some nurserymen. The fruit is larger, 

 broader, and a week later than the first; and its serrated leaves, 

 and different flavour, separate it widely from the latter. Ends 

 of the branches sometimes slightly mildewed. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit rather large, globu- 

 lar, but broad, depressed, and marked with a deep, broad suture, 

 extending nearly round the whole fruit. Skin white, mottled, 

 and marked with numerous red dots, and the cheek of a rich 

 dark red. Flesh whitish, but red at the stone, melting, juicy, 

 very rich and high-flavoured. Middle and last of August. Flow- 

 ers small. 



RARERIPE, LATE RED. 



Prince's Red Rareripe. 



This noble American fruit, the Late Red Rareripe, is unques- 

 tionably one of the very finest of all peaches, even surpassing 

 often the Late Admirable. Its large size and great excellence, 

 its late maturity, and its productiveness and vigour, all unite to 

 recommend it to universal favour. The rather greyish appear- 

 ance of the fruit serves to distinguish it, at first sight, from all 

 others. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large and heavy, round- 

 ish-oval, suture depressed only at the top, where the swollen 

 point is distinctly sunken. Skin downy, pale greyish-yellow, 

 thickly marbled and covered with reddish spots ; the cheek dull, 

 deep-red, distinctly mottled with fawn-coloured specks. Flesh 

 white, but deep-red at the stone ; very juicy, melting, and of an 

 unusually rich, luscious, high flavour, not surpassed by any 

 other peach. First to the 10th of September. Flowers small,
