PEACHES. 



Peche du Vin. Of the French Catalogues. 



Leaves crenate, with globose glands. Flowers large, 

 pale lively rose. Fruit middle-sized, rather more broad 

 than long, somewhat depressed at the apex, having a 

 well marked suture, and a rather deep cavity at the base. 

 Skin pale yellow or straw colour next the wall, with a 

 mixture of scarlet dots ; but of a rather dull red, and 

 marbled with a deep purple, on the sunny side. Flesh 

 melting, yellowish white, but red at the stone, from 

 which it separates. Juice plentiful, rich, of an excel- 

 lent flavour. Stone rugged, oval, sharp-pointed. 



Ripe the middle and end of August, ten or fourteen 

 days before the Noblesse. 



This little Peach has long been known in France, but 

 not in this country. It appears to have been introduced, 

 a few years ago, by Mr. Neil, who sold two of the plants 

 to Mr. Padley for five guineas ; hence it has obtained 

 Mr. Padley 's name, as well as that of Mr. Neil. It is 

 much grown, as M. Noisette has informed me, by the 

 gardeners of Montreuil, and known to them as the 

 Peche du Vin.
