THE PEACH. 
Catherine. Lang. Lind. P. Mag. Thorp. 
The Catherine Cling is a very fine old English variety, o{ 
excellent quality, but not, we think, equal to the Large White 
Clingstone , a native seedling, so much esteemed in the Middle 
States. 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit large, roundish oval, more 
swollen on one side than the other, and terminated by a small 
swollen point at the top. Skin pale yellowish-green, much 
sprinkled with red dots; the exposed cheek of a bright, lively 
red, streaked with darker red. Flesh firm, yellowish-white, but 
dark-red at the stone, to which it adheres very closely ; juicy, 
rich, and excellent. Middle and last of September. Flowers 
small. 
Chinese Cling. 
Reniform glands. Flowers small. Fruit large, globular ; sides 
compressed ; suture quite shallow. Skin creamy-white, shaded 
and marbled with fine red. Flesh white, red at the stone (which 
is adherent), very juicy, melting, with a rich, excellent vinous 
flavour. Ripens first to middle of September. At the soutlT, 
from the middle of July to first of August. 
Tree vigorous and productive. Imported from China. 
Donahoo Cling. 
From Mr. Donahoo, Clark county, Ga. Glands reniform. 
Fruit very large, roundish ; suture quite deep on one side, and 
visible entirely around the fruit ; apex depressed. Skin creamy- 
white, beautifully dotted and tinged with red in the sun. 
Flesh white to the stone, exceedingly juicy, excelling the Heath 
Cling in tenderness of texture, and equally rich and luscious, 
and a most desirable variety. Ripens from 10th to 20th Sep 
tember. (Ga. Pom. S. Rep.) 
Elmira Cling. 
Originated with Dr. M. W. Phillips, Miss. Glands reniform. 
Flowers small. Fruit large, oval, depressed ; suture rather shal- 
low on one side. Skin white, with a greenish-yellow tinge, 
quite downy. Flesh white, tinged with red at the stone, to 
which it adheres; sweet and good. Early in August. (Wm. N 
White, MS.)
