 red, or purple next the sun, and pale on the other 

 side ; also a free-stone. The tree is a very good

 other side. The flesh is a deep orange, and purple 

 at the stone. The tree is $ very great bearer. 



Many others might be added to the above ; but 

 they are the best sorts I know for forcing, and af-
