THE 
CLASS II. 
Freestone Peaches with Deep Yellow Flesh * 
Abricotee. Thomp. O. Duh. 
Fellow Admirable. Admirable Jaune. 0. Duh. Now. 
Apricot Peach. D’Abricot. 
Girosse Jaune Tardive. D’Orange. (Orange Peach. Ken.) 
The Apricot Peach (or Yellow Admirable , as it is more fre 
quently called) is an old French variety, but little cultivated ii 
this country, though deserving of attention in the Middle States 
It ripens very late, and is thought to have a slight apricot fla 
vour. It grows with moderate vigour, and bears abundantly. 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large, roundish-oval 
with a small suture running on one side only. Skin clear yel- 
low all over, or faintly touched with red next the sun. Flesh 
yellow, but a little red at the stone, firm, rather dry, with a 
sweet and agreeable flavour. Stone small Ripens at the be- 
ginning of October. Flowers large. 
Bergen’s Yellow. 
Bergen’s Yellow is a native, we believe, of Long Island. It is 
very large, and of very delicious flavour. It is darker coloured, 
more depressed in form, rather finer flavoured, and ripens some 
days later than the Yellow Rareripe, which it much resembles. 
It is a moderate, but good bearer. It is earlier, and much supe- 
rior to the Melocoton, and its glands distinguish it, also, from 
that variety. 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large (often measuring 
nine inches in circumference), globular, depressed, and broad; 
the suture well marked, and extending more than half round. 
Skin deep orange, dotted with some red, and with a very broad, 
dark-red cheek. Flesh deep 3 ellow, melting, juicy, and of rich 
and luscious flavour. Ripens at the beginning of September. 
Flowers small. 
Columbia. Coxe. 
Pace. 
The Columbia is a singular and peculiar peacli. It was 
raised by Mr. Coxe, the author of the first American work on 
* Nearly all this class are of American origin, and the Yellow Alberge 
of Europe is the original type. They are not so rich as Class I., and re- 
quire our hot summers to bring out their flavour. In a cold climate, the 
acid is always prevalent. Hence they are inferior in England, and at the 
northern limits of the peach in this country
