PEACHES. 



over-ripe Pine-apple. It is a freestone variety of great excel- 

 lence, and ripens about the first of September. Mr. Coxe 

 remarks that this peculiar peach was produced from a stone 

 brought to New-Jersey from Georgia, and that he gave it the 

 name by which it is distinguished. 



ROYAL GEORGE CLINGSTONE. Coxe. Pr.cat.. 



This tree produces small flowers ; the fruit is very hand- 

 some, of a pale yellowish white colour, tinged with red on the 

 sunny side ; it is of large size and oblong form, terminating 

 with a mamelon at the ^tremity ; the flesh is juicy, and of 

 excellent flavour. The fruit is at maturity in August. 



YELLOW PRESERVING. Pa. cat. Coxe. 



This tree has large flowers ; the fruit is a small freestone, 

 of a greenish yellow hue; the flesh wholly of a yellowish 

 colour, even around the stone, dry, and with but little flavour. 

 Its period of maturity is in September. 



HILL'S MADEIRA. Pr. cat. Coxe. 



This is described by Mr. Coxe as a very large peach ; but 

 the fruit from which he drew his description was probably 

 produced under circumstances peculiarly favourable, and I 

 am informed by Mr. C. R. Smith that its size varies exceed- 

 ingly, and in proportion to the advantages of situation. I 

 have not succeeded in having large fruit on my trees ; but it 

 may be that their location was not sufficiently favourable. 

 This fruit is white, with a faint tinge of red next the sun ; the 

 flesh is tender, melting, juicy, and high flavoured; it ripens 

 in September. Mr. Coxe remarks that the tree was raised by 

 the late Henry Hill, Esq. of Philadelphia, from a stone brought 

 from Madeira, and that the fruit has weighed twelve ounces.
