the same tree adheres partially or wholly to the stone; and 
this peculiarity (common, so far as we know, to but one cther 
_kind) is one of its constant characteristics. It has been culti- 
vated here, and disseminated for the last twenty years, and we 
suppose it to be an American variety. The tree is only a mo- 
derate bearer. Leaves with globose glands, Fruit rather large, 
round, with a distinct suture, and one half the fruit always the 
larger. Skin pale yellowish-white, dotted and streaked with 
red, the cheek a rich red. Flesh white, but red at the stone, 
to which many particles adhere. If not fully ripe, it has the 
habit of a cling. Flesh juicy, melting, with a rich vinous fla- 
vour. Ripens directly after the Early York, about the 24th of 
August. Flowers small.

Sweet Water. Large American Nutmeg. 
A very early, and very agreeable white peach, among tae 
best of its season, as it, ripens early in August, not long after 
the Early Anne, and ten days or more before the Eacly York. 
It is an American peach, raised from a stone of the Early Anne.

gardens. The tree is thrifty and productive, with pale shoots, 
and nearly white blossoms. ; 
Leaves with globose glands. Fruit of medium size, some- 
times large, roundish, with a slight suture. Skin pale white,

slightly stained at the stone, melting, juicy, sweet, and of very 
agreeable flavour. Ripe about the 8th of August. Stone 
small. Flowers large. 
Early Sweet Water (Prince’s) is distinct from this, and Mr. 
Prince says equally valuable. J
