Coxe informs us that this is a seedling produced in Maryland 
from a stone brought by Mr. Daniel Heath from the Mediterra-

and moderately productive ; with the shortening-in mode of

at the north. 
Leaves nearly smooth on the edges, with reniform glands 
Fruit very large, oblong, narrowing to both ends, and terminat-

one side. Skin downy, cream-coloured white, with a faint 
blush or tinge of red in the sun, or a brownish cheek. Flesh 
greenish-white, very tender and melting, exceedingly juicy, 
with the richest, highest, and most luscious flavour, surpassed 
by no other variety. It adheres very closely to the stone. It
