white, deep red at the stone, to which it always adheres veiy 

 firmly; melting, juicy, and rich. Ripens about the 15th of 

 September. Flowers large. 



Oldmixon Clingstone. Coxe. 

 Oldmixon Cling. 



The Oldmixon Clingstone is certainly one of the highest fla- 

 voured of all peaches known in this country, where it is raised 

 in perfection, and should have a place in eveiy good garden ; 

 indeed we consider this, the Large White Cling, and the Heath 

 Cling, as being the sorts among the most desirable of this class 

 of peaches for small collections. 



Leaves with globose glands. Fruit largo, roundish-oval, the 

 suture distinct only at the top, on one side of which the fruit is 

 slightly enlarged. Skin yellowish-white, dotted with red, or 

 with a red cheek, varying from pale to lively red. Flesh pale 

 white, very melting and juicy, with an exceedingly rich, lus- 

 cious, high flavour. First of September. Flowers small. 



Orange Clingstone. 



The Orange Cling is a very large, handsome, and excellent 

 fruit, somewhat resembling the Lemon Cling in colour, but glo- 

 bular in form, rather richer in flavour, and quite a distinct sort. 



Leaves large, serrated, without glands. Fruit large, round, 

 the suture distinctly marked, and extending nearly round the 

 fruit ; swollen point at the top, none. Skin deep orange, with 

 a rich dark-red cheek. Flesh dark yellow, rather firm, juicy, 

 with rich, vinous flavour. September. Flowers small.

Gros Persique Rouge. 



A very large and magnificent old French Clingstone, not so 

 well known in this country as it deserves. The fruit is very 

 solid in flesh, and much sweeter here than in France. The tree 

 is of very strong growth. 



Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit very large, roundish 

 oval, with a well-marked suture extending to the top, and ter- 

 minating there in an obtuse swollen point. Skin yellowish- 

 white, a good deal covered with the broad, very deep red colour 

 of its cheek. Flesh firm, yellow^ish-white, deep red at the stone, 

 to which it adheres very firmly, and which is rather small; 

 juicy, flavour sweet and good. First of October. Flowers large.
