Julia. 



Origin, South Carolina. 



Fruit medium, white, with a slight red cheek. Flesh white, juicy, 

 vinous. One of the best late sorts for the South. November. Free- 

 stone. (P. J. Berckman's Cat.) 



Kenrick's Heath. 

 Freestone Heath. Heath Free. White Heath. 



A large, showy, oblong Peach, often growing to the largest size, and 

 a very hardy tree, but the quality of the fruit is only second-rate. 

 This sort, which is a native of New England, is vigorous, and bears 

 large crops. It is quite distinct from the celebrated Heath Cling. 

 Leaves with reniform glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit very large, oblong, with a slight suture, and a small swollen 

 point at the top. Skin pale greenish white, with a purplish red cheek. 

 Flesh greenish white, deep red at the stone, a little coarse, melting, 

 quite juicy, with a pleasant subacid flavor. Middle of September. 



Lady Palmerston. 



One of Thomas Rivers' new varieties, and described by him as hav- 

 ing reniform glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit large, greenish yellow, marbled with crimson. Flesh pale 

 yellow, melting. Very good. Ripe last of September. 



Lady Parham. 



Originated with Thomas Affleck. Glands reniform. Flowers 

 small. 



Fruit medium, roundish, one side larger than the other, depressed 

 at the summit. Suture distinctly marked, the swollen point small. 

 Skin yellowish white, downy. Flesh pale, red at the stone, firm, rich, 

 vinous. Middle of October. Freestone. 



La Grange. 



The La Grange is a white freestone Peach, of very -late maturity, 

 large size, and fine flavor. It was originated from seed in the garden 

 of Mr. John Flulse, Burlington, N. J. 



Its late period of maturity, its color, its productiveness, and size, 

 have given it quite a reputation among the extensive growers of New 

 Jersey, and it is undoubtedly a most valuable fruit, not only for the 

 table, but for preserving at the most desirable period for this purpose, 

 late in the season. Leaves with reniform glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit large, oblong, shaped somewhat like the Heath Cling. Skin 

 greenish white, with occasionally some red on the sunny side. Flesh 

 pale, juicy, melting, very rich, sweet, high-flavored, and delicious. Last 

 of September and beginning of October. Freestone. 



Large Early York. 

 Honest John. New York Eareripe. 



A valuable variety, so much like Haines' Early and "Walter's Early
