Belle de Yitry. Dull. Lind. Thomp. 
Admirable Tardive. Beilis. Mil. 
This is not the Belle de Yitry of most of our gardens, which 
is the Early Admirable ; it is quite distinct, also, from the Late 
Admirable ; but is the Belle de Yitry described by Duhamel, 
and is a very firm-fleshed and excellent French variety, little 
known in this country. 
Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit middle size, rathei 
broad, with a deep suture, the top depressed. Skin pale yel- 
lowish-white, tinged and marbled with bright and dull red. 
Flesh rather firm, red at the stone, melting, juicy, and rich. 
Ripens here the last of September. Flowers small. 
Briggs. 
Origin, Dedham, Mass. Hardy and productive. Fruit large, 
roundish ; suture continued almost round it. Skin white, nearly 
covered with bright red. Flesh white, tinged with red at the 
stone; very juicy, of a rich, sweet, slightly vinous flavour. Free- 
stone. From first to middle of September. (Cole.) 
Cambridge Belle. 
Hovey’s Cambridge Belle. 
Raised by Hovey & Co., Boston, Mass. 
Fruit large, roundish. A beautiful peach, with a clear waxen 
skin, and a blush on the exposed side, and of a rich, brisk, deli- 
cious flavour. Freestone. Ripe early in September. (Hov. 
Mag.) 
Carpenter’s White. 
Raised by William S. Carpenter, upper part of New York 
City. 
Tree vigorous and productive ; leaves very large, serrulate, 
with globose glands. Fruit very large and round. Skin white, 
with a slight shade of green. Flesh white to the stone, juicy, 
melting, rich, and of excellent flavour ; separates from the stone. 
Ripens about the middle of October, and promises to be a 
valuable late market variety. (P. B. Mead, MS.)
