According to Leroy, Admirable was first mentioned by Lectier in 1628, probably having 

 originated in France many years previous. Although not an extremely early peach it 

 was long called Early Admirable to distinguish it from Late Admirable. The American 

 Pomological Society listed Admirable in its fruit-list in 1877 but dropped it in 1897. Tree 

 productive; flowers small; glands globose; fruit of mediimi size, roundish, pale yellowish- 

 white, with a lively red cheek ; flesh white, red next the pit from which it readily separates, 

 melting, juicy, with a good, rich, sweet flavor; ripens the first of September or later. 

 Admirable Jaune. i. Noisette Man. Comp. Jard. 2:478. i860.
