medium, nearly round, skin nearly white, with a red cheek ; flesh 

 red at the stone, juicy, rich, sweet, fine. Quite early, ripening 

 immediately after Serrate Early York. Flowers large. French. 



Favorite. Large, oblong, or oval ; skin rather downy, much cov- 

 ered with red, very dark toward the sun ; flesh red at the stone, 

 a little firm, juicy, with a good, vinous, but not rich flavor. Flow- 

 ers small. Hardy and very productive. Ripens medium or rather 

 late, or about the second week of September. Glands of the 

 leaves very small, obscure, or none. American. 



Fay's Early Ann. A seedling from the old Early Ann, glandular, 

 thrifty, hardy, very productive ; fruit greenish-white, rather small, 

 of good and agreeable flavor. Ripens with the Tillotson, and 

 valuable for its earliness. 



Fox's Seedling.* Medium, round, slightly compressed, cavity 

 narrow ; white, with a red cheek ; juicy, sweet, good. Flowers 

 small. Season late. New Jersey. 



George the Fourth. Large, round, suture deep and broad, one- 

 half slightly larger; skin nearly white in the shade, dotted red 

 with a deep red cheek ; flesh slightly red at the stone, melting, 

 juicy, rich, excellent. Flowers small. Ripens at the end of sum- 

 mer. Branches rather more diverging than usual, leaves pale 

 green, often glandless. Crops moderate, one cause of its excel- 

 lence. Origin, New York. 



Green Catherine. Large, round, pale green, with a red cheek; 

 flesh bright red at the stone, tender, juicy, rather acid. Season

 small flowers.

 tinct; skin whitish, with a deep red cheek; flesh whitish, juicy, 

 melting, sweet, excellent. Middle to end of August. Flowers
