Wasuineton CLinesTone. 
An American variety, remarkably juicy and sweet. Although 
Thompson finds it third rate in England, it is here searcely sur- 
passed. To use the expressive words of one of our friends in 
Maryland, a good judge of fruit, “there is nothing better than 
this peach out of Paradise.” It is neither handsome nor pre- 
possessing externally. - ‘ 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit of medium size, round- 
‘ish. Skin yellowish-green, marked with grey specks, and with 
a slight tinge of red on the sunny side. Flesh very juicy, ten- 
der, and melting, with a very sweet and luscious flavour. Last 
of September. Flowers small. :

The Double Blossomed peach is, when in full bloom, one of 
the gayest and most beautiful of fruit trees, and blooming with 
its lovely companion, the Double Flowering Cherry, finds a 
place in all our pleasure-grounds and ornamental -plantations. 
Its flowers are three times the size of those of the common 
peach, of a lively rose colour, nearly full double, and so thickly 
disposed on the branches as to be very striking and showy. 
They are produced at the usual season, or a few days later. 
This sort is rendered more dwarf for shrubberies, by budding . 
it upon the Mirabelle, or the Cherry Plum stock. 
The leaves have reniform glands. -The fruit, which is spar- 
ingly produced, is roundish-oval, pale greenish-yellow, faintly 
tinged with red, freestone, ard of indifferent flavour.
