          presented by H. R. Wright. This is a standard New Zealand clingstone

Wright as a dependable bearer.

43136. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Shipper Cling Peach. From New Zealand. 
Plants presented by H. R. Wright. This large clingstone peach is attractive 
in appearance and of good quality. The skin is orange-yellow 
with a red blush, the flesh yellow and excellent in flavor. Since the 
fruit retains its form when cooked it is recommended by Mr. Wright as 
of value for canning.

43137. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Up-to-Date Peach. From New Zealand. 
Plants presented by H. R. Wright. Described as a vigorous-growing, 
heavy-yielding variety producing large, freestone, yellow-fleshed 
peaches of excellent quality. The fruits are too delicate in texture 
to withstand shipment to distant markets, but for canning and home use 
they are said to be excellent.

43289. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. Original introduction from Canton, 
China. Presented by P. R. Josselyn, American vice-consul. Budded 
plants are available from a selected seedling of the Ying Tsui To 
(eagle's beak peach). This is a small, white, freestone peach with 
sweet white flesh and a red pit. It should prove of value for home 
use.

55563. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. Plants budded from a seedling 
grown and selected at the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, Calif., 
from seed obtained through John R. Putnam, American consul at Valencia, 
Spain. The fruits of this variety are large and yellow with a 
red blush. The flesh is golden yellow throughout and excellent in 
flavor; the pit is small. This variety, weighing on the average 9 
ounces, promises to be of value as a commercial canning peach. It remains 
firm when cooked, retains its delicate flavor, and does not require 
a heavy sirup. The fruits ripen at Chico about August 20.

55564. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. Plants budded from a selected 
seedling. Grown at the Plant Introduction Garden at Chico, Calif., 
from seed obtained through John R. Putnam, American consul at Valencia, 
Spain. The fruits of this variety are golden yellow, blushed red, with 
a deep basin and distinct suture. The pit is small and yellow, not coloring 
the flesh which is firm and delicious. The average weight of the 
fruits is about 5 ounces. This variety is a good shipper and may prove 
valuable for canning; it ripens at Chico about the middle of August.

55813. AMYGDALUS PERSICA. Peach. Seedling grown at the Plant 
Introduction Garden, Chico, Calif. This tree has matured a heavy crop 
of exceptionally delicious peaches. The fruit is yellow with red 
cheeks, slightly flattened at the ends and bulging in the center, 
about 3 inches in diameter, and 2 3/4 inches long. The basin is wide and 
shallow, the suture rather indistinct. The flesh is yellow, very 
juicy, and of fine quality. In flavor this variety compares favorably 
with Late Crawford; it is about a week later than Elberta, and in texture 
it is better than the latter.
