EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. 

 Cut-Leaved. Serrated. New Cut-Leaved. Unique. 



A very rich and fine-flavored Peach, raised by Mr. Floy, in 1812.

 on the edges. Leaves serrated, without glands. Flowers small.

 Flesh yellowish white, rather firm, rich, and high-flavored. Last of 

 August.

This is a singularly formed and colored Peach, from Belgium. Leaves 

 with globose glands. 



Fruit large, roundish, depressed. Suture shallow in the middle of 

 the fruit, deeper at ends, and peculiarly wrinkled pit at apex. Skin 

 downy, clear yellow, shaded with deep reddish purple in the sun. Flesh 

 white, some red next the stone, melting, juicy, rich. Freestone. (An. 

 Pom.)

FAVORITE. 

 Favorite Eed. 



A capital orchard fruit, of large size, hardy, and a most abundant 

 bearer. It is a very good native Peach, though not of high flavor.

 small. 



Fruit large, oblong or oval. Skin white, rather downy, much cov- 

 ered with red, which becomes a very dark red when fully exposed io 

 the sun. Flesh red at the stone, a little firm, but juicy, with a good, 

 vinous, but not rich flavor. Second week in September.
