1905 FRUITS OF ONTARIO. 123 



TYHUBST. 



A very attractive golden-yellow peach ; considered a profitable variety for the commercial 

 orchard. After fruiting it several years at our Maplehurst station, we think its value has been 

 somewhat over-estimated. 



Origin : a seedling raised by Mr. Tyhurst, of Leamington, Essex County. This gentle- 

 man was so pleased with the peach that he planted nearly his whole farm with trees grown 

 from its pits, and made considerable money out of his venture. 



Tree : moderately vigorous ; quite productive ; fruit is inclined to drop as soon as ripe. 



Fkuit : size medium ; form ovate ; suture distinct on one side, terminating in a, small 

 black sharp point ; color deep yellow, with tinge of red in the sun ; skin separates easily from 

 the'flesh. 



Flesh ; free ; color pale yellow ; texture very tender, fine grained, melting, juicy ; flavor 

 excellent. 



Quality : dessert very good to best ; cooking very good. 



Value : home market first class ; distant market second class because too tender. 



Se.«on : mid September.
