          43133. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Muir's Perfection Peach. From New Zealand. 
Plants presented by H. R. Wright. A mid-season, freestone peach, about 
2 1/4 inches in diameter, with a creamy white skin splashed with red, and 
with mildly acid, soft, white flesh, stained by the large red pit. Of value 
chiefly as a home fruit. It is an abundant bearer, and hardy as far north 
as New Jersey. In California it ripens late in July; in New Jersey at the 
same time as the Elberta. (Chico, Calif.)

43135. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Paragon Peach. From New Zealand. Plants 
presented by H. R. Wright. A light-yellow clingstone peach; about 3 inches 
long, with juicy, light-yellow flesh of good quality. It ripens late in 
July in California, and early in September in New Jersey. Adapted for 
canning. (Chico, Calif.)

43137. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Up-to-Date peach. From New Zealand. Plants presented by H. R. Wright. A vigorous, prolific variety which bears freestone 
fruits, averaging about 6 ounces in weight, with golden-yellow skin mottled 
with red. The sweet, juicy, melting flesh is of high quality; the medium-
sized pit is pink, slightly staining the flesh. Its ripening season is the 
same as that of Elberta, and it thrives as far north as New Jersey. For trial 
as a home fruit, and for shipping and drying. (Chico, Calif.)

American Vice Consul. Budded plants available from a selected seedling. 
This is a small, white, freestone peach with sweet, white flesh and a red 
pit. Of value for home use. Ripens at Chico, California, early in July.

varieties. (Chico, Calif.)

43290. AMGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. From Canton, China. Presented by 
P. H. Josselyn, Vice Consul in charge. A round, very sweet, honey-flavored 
peach, which came originally from Manchuria. (Chico, Calif.)

43569. AMGDALUS PERSICA. Bresquilla Peach. From Valencia, Spain. Presented by John R. Putnam, American Consul. A round, yellow clingstone peach, 
averaging 5 ouces in weight, with golden-yellow flesh of firm texture. At 
the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, California, where this variety matures 
its fruit about the first of September, it is considered promising as a 
canning peach. The tree is a strong, vigorous grower. (Chico, Calif.)

55487. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Pomona Improved Peach. From Santa Ines, Chile. 
Presented by Salvador Izquierdo. Sr. Izquierdo writes that this is an 
improved form of the variety Pomona, grown at his nursery at Santa Ines. 
Described as a fruit of unusually large size, deep yellow, clingstone, and 
of excellent quality for canning. (Bell, Md.)

55549. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Goodman' s Choice Peach. From Eastwood, New 
South Wales. Obtained through H. R. Wright, Avondale, Auckland, New Zealand. 
In Australia nurserymen consider this their best yellow-fleshed clingstone 
peach. Each season the tree beers a heavy crop of medium-sized fruits. The 
skin has a red blush, and the flesh is rich and translucent; the variety is 
remarkable for even crops and gradual ripening. In Australia the fruit 
matures toward the end of February, mailing it a late-ripening variety for 
that country. It should be tested in California and other peach-canning 
regions. (Bell, Md., and Chico, Calif.)
