636 THE PEACH. 



CATHERINE. Lang. Lind. P. Mag. Thorp. 



The Catherine Cling is a very fine old English variety, oi 

 excellent quality, but not, we think, equal to the Large White 

 Clingstone, a native seedling, so much esteemed in the Middle 

 States. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large,*roundish oval, more 

 swollen on one side than the other, and terminated by a small 

 swollen point at the top. Skin pale yellowish-green, much 

 sprinkled with red dots ; the exposed cheek of a bright, lively 

 red, streaked with darker red. Flesh firm, yellowish-white, but 

 dark-red at the stone, to which it adheres very closely ; juicy, 

 rich, and excellent. Middle and last of September. Flowers 

 small. 



CHINESE CLING. 



Reniform glands. Flowers small. Fruit large, globular ; sides 

 compressed ; suture quite shallow. Skin creamy-white, shaded 

 and marbled with fine red. Flesh white, red at the stone (which 

 is adherent), very juicy, melting, with a rich, excellent vinous 

 flavour. Ripens first to middle of September. At the south, 

 from the middle of July to first of August. 



Tree vigorous and productive. Imported from China. 



DONAHOO CLING. 



From Mr. Donahoo, Clark county, Ga. Glands reniform. 

 Fruit very large, roundish ; suture quite deep on one side, and 

 visible entirely around the fruit; apex depressed. Skin creamy- 

 white, beautifully dotted and tinged with red in the sun. 

 Flesh white to the stone, exceedingly juicy, excelling the Heath 

 Cling in tenderness of texture, and equally rich and luscious, 

 and a most desirable variety. Ripens from 10th to 20th Sep 

 tember. (Ga. Pom. S. Rep.) 



ELMIRA CLING. 



Originated with Dr. M. W. Phillips, Miss. Glands reniform. 

 Flowers small. Fruit large, oval, depressed ; suture rather shal- 

 low on one side. Skin white, with a greenish-yellow tinge, 

 quite downy. Flesh white, tinged with red at the stone, to 

 which it adheres; sweet and good. Early in August. (Wm. N. 

 White, MS.) 



FLEWELLEN CLING. 



Fruit large, globular, depressed at the apex. Skin downy, 

 yellowish'white, mostly overspread with shades of red ; dark, 

 dull purplish-red in the sun, the lighter tints of red somewb it
