THE PEACH. 



Scott's October. 



Originated with Jacob C. Lyons, Columbia, S. C. 

 Fruit medium to large, pale dingy lemon yellow. Flesh firm, with a 

 lemon flavor. Last of October. Clingstone. (Sumner, MS.) 



Shanghae. 



Trees of this variety and Chinese Cling were sent to this country 

 by the late Mr. Winchester, while British Consul at Shanghae. Tree 

 vigorous. Glands reniform. Flowers large. 



Fruit large, oval, truncate. Suture distinct, extending from the base 

 to beyond the apex, deepening very much at the apex, so as to form quite 

 a cavity. Skin greenish yellow, quite downy, sometimes a little mottled 

 or shaded with pale red. Flesh greenish yellow, very melting, juicy, 

 adhering to the stone, with a high, vinous flavor. Ripens from first to 

 middle of September. At the South, last of July and first of August.

Grown by Calvin Smith, Lincoln, Mass. Glands reniform. 



Fruit large, roundish. Suture deep. Skin yellow, mostly covered 

 with deep rich red. Flesh yellow, juicy, sweet. Freestone. Middle to 

 last of September. (Cole.) 



Smith's Newington. 

 Early Newington. Smith's Early Newington. Eariy Newington. 



This is one of the best early Clingstone Peaches. The Early Newing- 

 ton of our gardens as generally known (see Early Newington Freestone), 

 is earlier and a very much finer variety, with reniform glands ; being a 

 partial Clingstone, out most frequently parting from the flesh, has quite 

 supplanted it. Leaves serrated, without glands. Flowers large. 



Fruit middle-sized, rather oval, narrower at the top, and one half a 

 little enlarged. Skin pale straw-color, with a lively red cheek streaked 

 with purple. Flesh firm, pale yellow, but light red at the stone, to which 

 it adheres closely; juicy, and of very good quality. Last of August. 



Smock Freestone. 

 St. George. 



This was originated by Mr. Smock, of Middleton, N. J. Leaves 

 with reniform glands. 



Fruit large, oval, narrowed towards the stalk, and rather compressed 

 on the sides. Skin light orange yellow, mottled with red, or often with 

 a dark-red cheek when fully exposed. Flesh bright yellow, but red at 

 the stone, moderately juicy and rich. Ripens last of September and 

 first of October. 



Snow. 



The snow Peach is a remarkably fair and beautiful fruit, of Ameri- 

 can origin. The fruit and blossoms are white, and the foliage and wood 

 of a light green. Leaves with reniform glands. Flowers small. 



Fruit large, globular. Suture faintly marked, except at the top.
