 deep on one side. Skin white, with a bright red cheek. Flesh 

 white, very melting and juicy; of a very delicious, slightly 

 vinous flavour. Freestone. 20th to last of August. Hardy,

 is one of their most profitable market varieties.

New Cut-Leaved Unique.

 broad, with one half more swollen than the other. Skin downy, 

 dull yellowish-white, with a dark red cheek. Flesh yellowish- 

 white, rather firm, rich, and high-flavoured. Last of August. 

 Flowers small.
