suture of moderate size. Skin pale greenish-white, with a deep- 
red marbled cheek. Flesh white, but pale red at the stone ; 
melting, juicy, rich, and excellent. Beginning of September.

Few of the early peaches surpass in flavour and beauty the 
Royal George. It is one of the finest European varieties, and 
attains the highest flavour with us. The points of its shoots 
are a little inclined to mildew, which is entirely, in our climate, 
prevented by the shortening-in pruning. It is a regular and 
moderate bearer. 
Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit above the middle 
size, or rather large, globular, broad, and depressed, the suture 
deep and broad at the top, and extending round two-thirds of 
the fruit. Skin pale, or white, thickly sprinkled with red dots, 
and the cheek of a broad, rich, deep red, slightly marbled. Flesh 
whitish, but very red at the stone, melting, juicy, very rich, and 
of the highest flavour. From the 20tli to the last of August. 
Flowers small. 
Scott’s Early Red. 
Scott’s Early Red is a new variety, of very excellent flavour, 
and a prolific bearer, which we have lately received from New 
Jersey.
