Yellow Alberge. Thomp. 



Alberge Jaune. 0. Duh. Purple Alberge. lAnd. 

 Peche Jaune. Red Alberge. 



Gold Fleshed. Goldeu Miguonne. 



Yellow Rareripe, of many American gardens. 



The Yellow Alberge is an old French variety, and one of the 

 earliest of the yellow-fleshed peaches. It is no doubt the origi- 

 nal sort from which our Mclocotons and Yellow Rareripes have 

 sprung in this country. It has only a second-rate flavour, except 

 in rich, warm soils, and is not comparable to the Yellow Rare- 

 ripe in size or quality. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit of medium size, roundish, 

 with a well-marked furrow running half round. Skin yellow, 

 with a deep purplish-red cheek. Flesh yellow, but deep red 

 at the stone; soft, juicy, sweet, with a pleasant vinous flavour. 

 Middle of August. Flowers small. 



The RosANNA (Lind. Thomp.), Alberge Jaune ^ of many French 

 gardens, and Yellow Alberge of some gardens hei-e, ditt"rrs I'roiii 

 the above only in having leniform glands, and ripening ten or 

 twelve days later. Flavour second rate. 



Yellow Rareripe. 

 Large Yellow Rareripe. Marie Antoinette. 



One of the finest very early yellow-fleshed peaches. It is an 

 A.raerican seedling, produced about a dozen years ago, and well 

 deserves the extensive cultivation it receives, both in the orchard 

 and garden. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large, roundish, the su- 

 ture slightly depressed, extending more than half round ; the 

 swollen point at the top small.
