THE PEACH. 
tender, melting, ju : cy, and of a delicious vinous flavour, quality 
“ best.” September first. (G. Pom. S. Rep.) 
Tippecanoe. 
Hero of Tippecanoe. 
A new, very large, and handsome Clingstone, originated by 
Mr. George Thomas, of Philadelphia, and first exhibited before 
the Horticultural Society there in 1840. Its lateness and beauty 
render it a valuable kind. 
Leaves with reniform glands, the shoots dark purplish-red. 
Fruit very large, nearly round, a little compressed on the sides 
Skin yellow, with a fine red cheek. Flesh yellow, juicy, with 
a good vinous flavour. It ripens from the 20th to the last of 
September. Flowers small. 
Washington Clingstone. 
An American variety, remarkably juicy and sweet. Although 
Thompson finds it third rate in England, it is here scarcely sur- 
passed. To use the expressive words of one of our friends in 
Maryland, a good judge of fruit, “ there is nothing better than 
this peach out of Paradise.” It is neither handsome nor pre- 
possessing externally. 
Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit of medium size, round- 
ish. Skin yellowish-green, marked with grey specks, and with 
a slight tinge of red on the sunny side. Flesh very juicy, ten- 
der, and melting, with a very sweet and luscious flavour. Last 
of September. Flowers small.

The Double Blossomed peach is, when in full bloom, one of 
the gayest and most beautiful of fruit trees, and blooming with 
its' lovely companion, the Double Flowering Cherry, finds a 
place in all our pleasure-grounds and ornamental plantations. 
Its flowers are three times the size of those of the common 
peach, of a lively rose colour, nearly full double, and so thickly 
disposed on the branches as to be very striking and showy. 
They are produced at the usual season, or a few days later. 
This sort is rendered more dwarf for shrubberies, by budding 
it upon the Mirabelle, or the Cherry Plum stock. 
The Daves have reniform glands. The fruit, which is spar- 
ingly produced, is roundish-oval, pale greenish-yellow, faintly 
tinged with red, freestone, ard of indifferent flavour.
