 Bokhara is remarkable for great hardiness but has little else to recommend it. It 

 was introduced by the late J. L. Budd from pits received from Bokhara, Russia, about 1890 

 and in 1909 was added to the fruit-list of the American Pomological Society. Several 

 distinct peaches are grown under this name, probably all from the pits planted by Pro- 

 fessor Budd. As Bokhara grows on the Station groimds the leaves are large; glands reni- 

 form; flowers appear in mid-season, medivun in size, pink; fruit of medium size, oblong- 

 oval, bulged near the apex making the halves unequal; sutiire shallow; apex with a pro- 

 longed tip; skin thin, tender, with a thick, short pubescence, greenish-yellow, pale, faintlv 

 blushed and striped wnth dull red; flesh greenish-white, string^', mealy, sweet; quality 

 poor; stone oval, narrow, conspicuously winged; ripens late in August.
