LARGE WHITE CLINGSTONE. 



New York White Clingstone. "Williamson's New York. 



Selby's Cling. 



The Large White Clingstone is one of the most popular of this class 

 of Peaches. We think it superior to the Catherine and Old Newington, 

 and only surpassed in flavor by the Oldmix'on Cling and the Heath 

 Cling./ 



This variety was raised by David Williamson, in New York. The 

 light color and excellent quality of this fruit render it the greatest 

 favorite for preserving in brandy or sugar. It bears regular arid good 

 crops. Leaves with globose glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit large, round, the suture slight, and the swollen point at the 

 top small. Skin white (inclining to yellow only when over-ripe), dotted 

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

 Flesh whitish, tender, very melting, full of juice, which is very sweet, 

 luscious, and high-flavored. Beginning and middle of September.

LATE RED RARERIPE. 



Prince's Red Rareripe. 



This American fruit is one of the finest of Peaches. Its large size, 

 and its productiveness and vigor, unite to recommend it to universal 

 favor. The rather grayish appearance of the fruit serves to distinguish 

 it, at first sight, from all others. Leaves with globose glands. Flowers 

 small.

 top, where the swollen point is distinctly sunken. Skin downy, pale
