PEACHES. 263 



> 



Leaves doubly serrated, without glands. Flowers 

 small. Fruit middle-sized, of a somewhat globular 

 figure, but rather more broad than long. Skin greenish 

 white next the wall ; but of a deep red or purple colour 

 on the sunny side. Flesh very melting, greenish white, 

 but red at the stone, from which it separates. Juice 

 plentiful, and well flavoured. Stone small, oblong, 

 rugged. 



Ripe the end of August and beginning of September. 



In a cold wet season, this tree is frequently attacked, 

 more or less, with mildew ; it ought, therefore, to be 

 planted on a dry soil, and in a warm sheltered situation. 

 It is said to have been raised by a Mr. Millet, a market 

 gardener at Brentford, above sixty years ago.
