This is certainly the most popular peach for garden culture 
in the United States. It is large, bears regular and moderate 
crops, is of the highest flavour, and the tree is unusually hardy 
and vigorous, succeeding w T ell in all parts of the country. No 
garden should be without it. The original tree stood, not long 
since, in the garden of Mr. Gill, Broad-street, New-York. 
Leaves large, with globose glands, often obscure. Fruit large, 
round, deeply divided by a broad suture, and one half a little 
larger than the other. Skin pale yellowish-white, finely dotted 
with bright red, and deepening into a rich dark-red cheek on 
one side. Flesh pale, marked with red at the stone (which is 
small), melting, very juicy, with a remarkably rich, luscious 
flavour. Ripens the last of August. Flowers small. 
Large Early York, Honest John, and Haine’s Early Red, are 
said to be synonymous with this. Further trial is necessary to
