PEACHES.

This peach, some trees of which I introduced a few years 

 since from Europe, is one of great excellence. It is arranged 

 in Mr. Lindley's classification in the same section with the 

 Grosse Mignonne, but is a perfectly distinct variety, consider- 

 ably later at maturity, and succeeds the Royal George. The 

 tree is of a healthy habit, and produces good crops. 



The following detailed description I extract from the Po- 

 mological Magazine, in which work the fruit is admirably 

 figured. 



" Leaves crenated, with globose glands ; flowers large ; 

 fruit large and handsome, roundish, somewhat elongated, and 

 rather pointed at the summit; the suture moderately deep 

 along one side ; skin pale yellowish green next the wall, deep 

 red next the sun, marbled with darker : flesh yellowish white, 

 slightly rayed with some crimson tints next the stone, from 

 which it parts freely ; melting, juicy, and very rich ; stone 

 middle-sized, ovate, with a lengthened sharp point, very rug- 

 ged, and of a brown colour."
