respects, originated by Dr. Bayne, of Alexandria, D. C. It is 

 considered rather finer by some.

INCOMPARABLE. Lind. Thomp. 



Pavie Admirable. Bon. Jard. Ken. Late Admirable Cling.

 enlarged. Skin pale yellowish-white, light red on the exposed 

 side. Flesh yellowish-white, red at the stone, juicy, melting,

The Large White Clingstone is by far the most popular of this 

 class of peaches in this State, and in New England. We think 

 it superior to the Catherine and Old Newington, and only sur- 

 passed in flavour by the Oklmixon Cling and the Heath Cling. 



This variety was raised about forty years ago by David Wil- 

 liamson, a nurseryman, in New York, and was first described by 

 Floy as the New York Clingstone. But as it is universally 

 known now by the present title, we have placed the original 

 names as synonymes. The light colour and excellent quality 

 of this fruit render it the greatest favourite for preserving in 

 brandy or sugar. The tree is remarkably hardy and long lived; 

 rarely if ever being attacked by the yellows. It bears regular 

 and good crops. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large, round ; the suture 

 slight, and the swollen point at the top small. Skin white (in- 

 clining to yellow only when over-ripe), dotted with red on the 

 sunny side, or with a light-red cheek when fully exposed. Flesh
