Red Nutmeg, probably known more than two centuries ago, has little to recommend 

 it aside from its earliness. Tree moderate in growth, rather dwarf, having large, rose- 

 colored flowers and leaves with reniform glands; fruit small, roundish, with a distinct suture; 

 skin pale yellow, with a bright, rich red cheek; flesh yellowish-white, usually red at the 

 stone which is free, juicy, sweet but with a musky flavor; ripens from the middle to the 

 last of July. 

 Red Peach, i. Parkinson Par. Ter. 580. 1629. 



" The red Peach is a faire Peach, and of a very good relish." 

 Red Rareripe, i. Kenrick Am. Orch. 221. 1832. 2. Downing Fr. Trees Am. 485, 486. 

 1845. 3. Fulton Peach Cult. 188. 1908. 



Early Red Rareripe of Rhoades. 4. Kenrick Am. Orch. 220. 1832. 



Early Red Rareripe. 5. Ibid. 184. 1841. 



This peach has often been confused with Early York and Morris Red Rareripe. The 

 fruit is larger and broader and ripens a week later than the first and its serrate, glandless 

 leaves serve to distinguish it from the latter. Because of its similarity to Royal George, 

 it is supposed to be an American seedling of that variety. Leaves serrate, glandless; 

 flowers small; fruit large, roundish but broad and depressed; suture broad, extending 

 nearly around the fruit; skin white, mottled with red dots, with a rich, dark red cheek; 

 flesh white, red at the stone, juicy, melting, rich, highly flavored; ripens from the middle 

 to the last of August.

Introduced by T. V. Munson and Son, Denison, Texas. Fruit large, roundish; skin 

 creamy- white, with a fine red cheek; flesh creamy- white, juicy, fine-grained, with a 

 pleasant flavor; quality good; pit nearly free; ripens the first of August. 

 Red Seedling, i. Mich. Sta. Bui. 118:37. 1895. 2. Ibid. 169:224. 1899. 



Supposed to have originated at South Haven, Michigan. Fruit of medium size, 

 roundish, with a distinct suture; color creamy-white, with a bright red blush; flesh creamy- 

 white, slightly red at the pit from which it separates, juicy, tender, with a mild, vinous 

 flavor; season from the middle to the last of August. 

 Redding, i. Ga. Sta. Bui. 42:240, 241. 1898. 



Originated at the Georgia Experiment Station, Experiment, Georgia. Glands globose; 

 fruit of medium size, roundish; color deep yellow, with a red blush; flesh free, yellow, 

 firm, juicy, melting; quality good; ripens the first of July in Georgia.
