grown from seeds secured in Mexico. It is a medium-sized clingstone 
fruit, with firm, sweet, golden-yellow flesh of good texture and unusually

33219. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Vainqueur Peach. From Granada, Spain. Scions 
imported by Dr. Walter T. Swingle, Bureau of Plant Industry. A very early 
ripening clingstone peach with white or greenish skin flushed with red 
and weighing about 4 ounces. The pit is pink and the soft, white, juicy 
flesh is of good quality for an early peach. Although a clingstone, when 
fully ripe, the flesh can be separated from the stone. This variety has 
proved hardy as far north as Massachusetts, has done well also in the 
Pacific Coast States, and appears to have promise for home use and  
near-by markets. (Chico, Calif.)
