414 Description of American Fruits. 



Clingstone, or Kennedy s Carolina Peach. I procured the buds 

 from a tree in Forsyth Street at this place. The fruit is larger 

 than the Old Lemon Clingstone, and ripens a fortnight 

 earlier ; it is an abundant bearer, and weighs from nine to 

 twelve ounces. The flavour is the same as that of Kennedys 

 Lemon Clingstone ; but its ripening earlier will make it more 

 acceptable in England. 



17. lirevoorfs Seedling Peach. This was also raised by 

 Mr. Brevoort, like No. 11, from the Morrisania Pound 

 Peach, but is not at all like its original. The size of the fruit 

 is middling, it is very juicy and rich ; ripe the last week in 

 August ; the stone is small and free. 



18. Lady Anne Stewart's Peach. This is a very juicy, 

 rich, freestone Peach ; when perfectly ripe it is very delicious, 

 but it is not very large ; it is white, with a small blush tinge ; 

 the stone is flat, and rather hollow at one end ; it is ripe the 

 second week in September. 



19. Hoytes Lemon Clingstone, originated in the garden of 

 Mr. Hoyte, in Broadway, in this city, most probably from a 

 stone of the Pine Apple Clingstone, which it much resembles. 

 The fruit is very large, weighing usually twelve ounces, ripens 

 late, and will require artificial heat in England. 



20. Pine Apple Clingstone, or Red Mallacoton, is like the 

 Lemon Clingstone in colour and flavour, but round, with a 

 small tip at the end; ripens a week or a fortnight later, that 

 is, from the middle to the end of October, and is more valued 

 here consequently for preserving. When perfectly ripe, the 

 juice is rich and lively; it has a little of the flavour of the 

 Pine Apple ; whence the name. 



21. Asters Seedling Peach. I had the buds from Mr.
