PERSIC A, PEACH TREE. 33 



XXX. PEACH TREE, full-flowered with large late round fruit and pale flesh. 



Yellow ADMIRABLE. APRICOT-FLAVORED. Apricot PEACH. 

 Large late yellow PEACH. {PL XXII.) 



This peach tree resembles the Admirable in its habit - it's a large & beautiful tree 

 that yields ample fruit, even when out in the open. 



And also in its shoots which are vigorous, but more of a yellow green. 



And in its leaves which are beautiful. But they turn yellow in autumn & even 

 redden at the tip. Almost all of them are folded along the central vein & are recurved 

 downward. 



The flowers are big & beautiful. Occasionally this peach tree has small flowers 

 like the Admirable. 



The fruit is big, round, flattened & its diameter is much smaller near the top. It's 

 divided by a not very deep groove along one side. 



Its skin is yellow & smooth and is covered with fine down. It takes on a bit of red 

 color on the side toward the sun. 



The flesh is yellow, the color of apricot, except next to pit & underneath the skin 

 on the sunlit side where it's red. It's firm, sometimes a little dry & even mealy in a cold 

 autumn. 



The juice is pleasant and has a little scent of apricot in a warm autumn. 



The pit is small, red, & clings slightly to the flesh. 



This peach ripens around mid-October. The last fruits that remain on the tree are 

 the best. 



The yellow Admirable can be raised successfully from its seed & out in the open 

 where the fruit is very much better & has more color but is considerably smaller. 



There's another yellow Admirable, or a variety of this one,
