DONAHOO CLING. 



From Mr. Donahoo, Clark Co., Ga. Glands reniform. Flowers 

 small. 



Fruit very large, roundish. Suture quite deep on one side, and visi- 

 ble entirely around the fruit. Apex depressed. Skin creamy white, 

 dotted and tinged with red in the sun. Flesh white to the stone, 

 exceedingly juicy, rich, and luscious. Ripens from 10th to 20th Sep-

 serrated, without glands. Flowers large. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, but somewhat narrower at the top. 

 Skin pale greenish white, with a soft red cheek, which is marbled with 

 darker red at maturity. Flesh white to the stone, very delicate and 

 melting, with a plentiful and high-flavored juice. Stone ovate and 

 rugged. Middle of August. Freestone. 



DRUID HILL. 



Originated by Lloyd N. Rogers, Esq., of Druid Hill, near Balti- 

 more. The tree is unusually vigorous, the shoots and leaves very large, 

 and it bears abundantly. The very late season of its maturity renders 

 it valuable, as most of the luscious sorts are then gone. Leaves with 

 globose glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit large, roundish ; the cavity of the stalk rather narrow, the su- 

 ture very slight, and the swollen point distinct, but scarcely prominent. 

 Skin pale greenish white, clouded with red on the sunny side. Flesh 

 greenish white, purple at the stone, very juicy and melting, with an 

 exceedingly rich, high vinous flavor. Stone long and rather compressed, 

 much furrowed. Ripens from the 20th of September to the 1st of 

 October. Freestone.
