Leaves crenate, with globose glands. Flowers small, 

 pale red. Fruit large, 10 or 11 inches in circum- 

 ference, of a roundish figure, rather inclining to oval. 

 Suture deep, having the flesh swelled boldly and 

 equally on both sides, with a slight depression on the 

 summit, where there is usually a small, pointed nipple. 

 Skin pale green or yellowish next the wall ; but of a 

 pale red, marbled and streaked with darker shades on 

 the sunny side, cavity of the base rather small, flesh 

 delicate, melting, of a greenish white, but red at the 

 stone, from which it separates. Juice plentiful, and, in 

 a warm season, highly flavoured. 



Ripe the end of September. 



The Late Admirable Peach ripened at Twickenham, 

 in 17^7> on a south wall, August, 24. O.S. ; or 

 September 4. N. S. Langley. 



This is a most excellent and extremely hardy peach, 

 well deserving of cultivation. It ought invariably to 

 be planted against either a south or south-east wall, as 

 on colder aspects there is little chance of growing it hj

 Bourdine, and Teton de Venus, as absolutely one and 

 the same fruit, declaring the pretended differences 

 between them are only " un charlatanisme des pepi- 

 nieristes." If by this he means to allude to his own 

 countrymen, I have nothing further to say, than that
