Eemarks. — Hardy, and good bearer, and eminently 

 productive. Has been raised forty years from the seed, 

 uniformly true. Cultivated by several of its name, in 

 Walpole, Mass. (Cole). This peach, like the Blood, and 

 many others, reproduces the same from the seed (there 

 are also some plums which do the same). Probably the 

 trees are more healthy and hardy in consequence. 



Anne, Early. Form, roundish ; leaves, serrated, without 

 glands; flowers, large; color, white, with a -faint, but 

 beautiful tinge of red, next the sun ; size, 2 to 3; quality, 

 2 to 3 ; season, 1st July ; freestone. 



Eemarks. — An old English sort. It is the first peach, 

 of any value that ripens; except the Early Tillotson, 

 which ripens o,t the same time, and is superior. The Early 

 Tillotson, will, therefore, take its place for general culture. 

 The Early Eed and White Nutmeg, are not worth much, 

 being too small. The trees of the Early Anne are of 

 rather feeble growth. 



BALTIMOEB BEAUTY, or Belle. Form, roundish
