in a very small point. It's eleven lignes long, ten lignes wide & nine lignes thick. 



It ripens around the end of August, after the Double de Troyes & the yellow early 

 peach. 



VI. PEACH TREE with small flowers and large fruit with light yellowish flesh. 

 ROSS ANNE. 



The Rossanne, or Rosanne, peach tree evidently is a variety of the yellow 

 clingstone. The leaves are a bit wider and often are ruffled close to the midrib. The fruit 

 is a little bigger, usually rounder, and it doesn't ripen as early. It's divided in the same 

 way with a very conspicuous groove on one side, & even with a quite noticeable one on a 

 part of the other side beyond the projection. At the tip a small indentation or flattening is 

 noticeable. In its middle there rises a projection with a base of about one ligne in 

 diameter & the same in height. It terminates in a very sharp point. 



VII. PEACH TREE with round fruit, pale flesh, adherent pit, and dark red skin. 

 CLINGSTONE PEACH. PERSAIS d'Angoumois. 



I brought this clingstone peach from Angoumois. The flesh is slightly yellow and 

 very soft and red next to the pit. The skin is very dark red on the side facing the sun; the 

 red color is less intense on the shaded side. In Angoumois this is a delicious fruit that 

 ripens about the end of September.
