          41395. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Dwarf Peach. From Kiayingchau, Kwangtung, 
China. Seeds presented by George Campbell. A dwarf, evergreen, ornamental  Chinese peach with showy flowers, grown in its native land as a 
house plant. At the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, California, a 
tree of this variety is about 7 feet high, with a spread of 10 feet, 
and with deep-green, heavy, compact evergreen foliage. The small, white 
clingstone fruits, about 2 inches in diameter, are prettily colored and 
fragrant with firm, acid, greenish white flesh, stained dark red near 
the pit, and insipid in flavor. Ripening season at Chico early September.

43124. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. A 1 Peach. From New Zealand. Plants  
presented by H. R. Wright. At Chico, California, this has proved to be 
a vigorous and prolific clingstone variety. The oval fruits, averaging 
6 ounces in weight, are yellow splashed with red, with yellow, acid, 
very juicy flesh, of good flavor, stained by the large, red pit. It 
is probable that this variety is best suited for home use or for shipment 
to near-by markets. Ripening season at Chico late July to early August.

43127. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Ideal Peach. From New Zealand. Plants 
presented by H. R. Wright. An elongated oval, freestone peach, about 
2 1/2 inches in length, with yellow, red-mottled skin, and firm, lemon-
yellow, mildly acid flesh of good quality. The pit is pink, staining 
the flesh slightly. In California this variety ripens about the middle 
of July; in Georgia slightly later, and in New Jersey at the same time 
as the Elberta. It has promise for home use, and also for drying and 
shipping. (Chico, Calif.)

43129. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Late Champion Peach. From New Zealand. 
Plants presented by H. R. Wright. This late-maturing freestone peach 
appears to thrive as far north as New Jersey and southern Michigan, in 
Oklahoma, and also in California. The tree is large and vigorous, and 
bears a good crop of roundish fruit about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The 
skin is yellow, tinged with red, and the golden-yellow flesh is sweet, 
juicy, and of good texture. The pit is small and pink. At Chico, 
California, it matures early in October; it is of promise as a late 
dessert peach, and should be good for shipping and canning. (Chico, Calif.)

43132. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Motion's Cling Peach. From New Zealand. 
Plants presented by H. R. Wright. A large, handsome, clingstone peach, 
weighing 7 to 8 ounces, with yellow skin tinged with red. The firm, 
yellow flesh is juicy and subacid, rather lacking in flavor; the pit is 
large and dark red, not staining the flesh. This variety appears to be 
promising for canning. At Chico, it ripens early in September; in 
New Jersey, where it has proved hardy, it ripens at the same time as 
the Elberta. (Chico, Calif.)
