TYHURST. 



A very attractive golden-yellow peach; considered a profitable variety for the com- 

 mercial orchard. After fruiting it several years at our Maplehurst station, we think its 

 value has been somewhat over-estimated. It is not planted in Niagara Peninsula. 



ORIGIN: a seedling raised by Mr. Tyhurst, of Leamington, Essex County. This 

 gentleman was so pleased with the peach that he planted nearly his whole farm with 

 trees grown from its pits, and made considerable money out of his venture. 



TREE: moderately vigorous; quite productive; fruit is inclined to drop as soon as 

 ripe. 



FRUIT: size, medium; form, ovate; suture, distinct on one side, terminating in a 

 small, black, sharp point; color, deep yellow, with tinge of red in the sun; skin separates 

 easily from the flesh. 



i 



FLESH: free; color, pale yellow; texture, very tender, fine grained, melting, juicy; 

 flavor, excellent. 



QUALITY: dessert, very good to best; canning, very good. 



VALUE: home market, first class; distant market, second class, because too tender. 



SEASON : mid-^September.
