Nutmeg, White. Mill. Lind. Thomp. 
Avant Blanche. 0. Duh. White Avant. 
Early White Nutmeg. 
The White Nutmeg resembles the foregoing in its general 
habit, being dwarfish, and of slender growth. It is the small- 
est of peaches, the flavour is inferior, and it is only esteemed 
by curious amateurs as ripening a few days earlier than any 
other variety. 
Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit very small, rather 
oval, with a deep suture extending a little more than half round. 
Skin white, or rarely with a pale blush. Flesh white to the 
stone, with a sweet and slightly musky, pleasant flavour. Ri- 
pens about the 10th or 15th of July. Flowers large. 
Oldmixon Freestone. Pom. Man. 
Oldmixon Clearstone. Coxe. 
A large American peach, of late maturity and rich flavour. 
It was, we believe, raised either from a stone of the Catherine 
Cling, or the Oldmixon Cling, the latter having been brought

good crops, and is a valuable variety. 
Leaves with globose glands. Fruit large, roundish, or slight- 
ly oval, one side swollen, and the suture visible only at the top ; 
cavity but slightly sunk at the stalk. Skin pale yellowish- 
white, marbled with red, the cheek a deep red. Flesh white, 
but quite red at the stone, -tender, with an excellent, rich, su- 
gary and vinous flavour. Beginning of September. Flowers 
small.

Raised by the Rev. A. Church, President of Franklin Col- 
lege, Ga. Glands reniform. Fruit large, roundish, inclining to
