whitish, tender, very melting, full of juice, which is very sweet, 
luscious, and high flavoured. Beginning and middle of Septem- 
ber. Flowers small. 
Late Yellow Alberge. Pom. Man. 
October Yellow. Algiers Yellow. 
Algiers Winter. 
A very late Clingstone peach, entirely yellow, scarcely good 
for eating, but esteemed by some for preserving. It was origin 
ally introduced from the south of France, and has been consi- 
derably cultivated here, but we have abandoned it. The Heatt 
Cling is in every way greatly its superior. 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit of medium size, round- 
ish-oval, with a small, distinct suture. Shin downy, green till 
the last of September, but at maturity being yellow. Flesh 
yellow to the stone, very firm, rather juicy, sweet. October. 
Flowers large.

Largest Lemon. Yellow Pineapple. 
The Lemon Clingstone is one of the largest and most beauti- 
ful of all the yellow-fleshed clings; and though of course inferior 
in flavour to the white-fleshed, is deserving of its universal popu- 
larity. It is originally a native of South Carolina, and was 
brought from thence by a Mr. Kennedy, of New York, before 
the war of the Revolution. There are now many seedlings re- 
produced from it, but none superior to the original. This is a 
very productive, hardy tree. 
Leaves long, with reniform glands. Fruit large, oblong, nar- 
rowed at the top, and having a large, projecting, swollen point, 
much like that of a lemon. Skin fine yellow, witn a dark brown- 
ish-red cheek. Flesh firm, yellow, slightly red at the stone, 
adhering firmly, with a rich, sprightly, vinous, sub-acid flavour. 
Middle and last of September. Flowers small. 
Old Newington. Lang. Lind. Thomp. 
Newington. Parkinson. (1629.) 
Large Newington. Coxe. 
A celebrated English Clingstone, which has been in cultiva- 
tion more than 200 years, and still is perhaps the best in the 
English climate. Although excellent, it is not so generally es- 
teemed here as the Large White Cling and Oldmixon Cling- 
stone. 
Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit large, roundish, the 
suture slight. Skin pale yellowish -white, with a fine red cheek, 
marked with streaks of darker red. Flesh pale yellowish-
