PEACHES. 273 



from which it separates. Juice plentiful, rich, and 

 high-flavoured. 



Ripe the beginning of September. 



It is probable this peach may be sold under other 

 names in the nurseries. Two trees were planted against 

 a south \vall in Mr. Lee's private garden at Hammer- 

 smith, under the above name, which proved to be one 

 and the same fruit.

Leaves deeply crenate, with globose glands, and some- 

 what puckered on each side of the midrib. Flowers 

 small, pale rose, edged with carmine. Fruit large, a 

 little more long than broad, divided by a wide and deep 

 suture, extending from the base to the apex, where it 

 is terminated by a broad, prominent, obtuse nipple, and 

 having a wide cavity at the base. Skin pale greenish 

 yellow next the wall ; but of a lively red, and marbled 

 with a deeper colour, on the sunny side. Flesh melting, 

 greenish yellow, but red at the stone, from which it 

 separates. Juice sugary, and of an excellent flavour. 



Ripe the end of September. 



I have examined the leaves of many trees of this 

 kind in the nurseries in the Duke of Devonshire's gar- 

 den, and also in the Horticultural Garden at Chiswick; 

 and I have uniformly found them to be more deeply 

 and more acutely crenate than those on any other 

 glandular-leaved variety.
