THE PEACHES OF NEW YORK 42 1 



variety is often called " The Black Peach of Montreal." The peach has a rich flavor, 

 thin skin, and a remarkably small stone, close to which the flesh is red. It ripens the 

 latter part of September when most other peaches are gone.

 shallow suture; skin creamy-white, with a clear red blush; flesh white, red at the pit,

Morris Red has been confused with George IV and Red Rareripe but is distinct.

 American origin. It seems to have been disseminated by Robert Morris, Philadelphia, 

 Pennsylvania. Tree vigorous, productive; glands globore; flowers small; fruit lai-ge, 

 roundish, depressed at the apex, with a distinct suture; skin pale greenish-white, with 

 a bright red cheek; flesh pale greenish-white, quite red at the pit, juicy, melting, with a
