 at the stone ; flavor good ; ripens about the beginning of September ; when old it Ls 

 an excellent bearer, and the fruit becomes improveJ. It answers well in favorable 

 situations as a standard, producing its fruit ripe in October. 



21. Royal George. — Fruit largish, round; flesh melting, rich ; sets with less air 

 than most other peaches ; is extremely well calculated for forcing ; ripens about the

 and red towards the stone ; flavor good ; ripens beginning of September. This, aa 

 has been observed by Duhamel, is a variety of the Yellow Alberge, but has not 

 been sufficiently distinguished from it by the British gardeners : it ripens a little 

 later than the Alberge, and is superior to it in quality. This fruit has ripened upon 

 a standard in the nursery grounds of Mr. Joseph Kirk, Brompton ; and in favorable 

 situations might be found to answer as such.

 rowed ; fine red and bright yellow ; flesh deep red at the stone, melting, fine fla- 

 vored ; ripens about the beginning of September.

 next the sun ; flesh juicy and rich. It is a great bearer, and one of our finest 

 peaches; ripens about the middle of September. (The figure in this work, by Mr.
