suited for market. Fruit large, inclined to o|)Iong Skin 
very downy, dingy green and considerably coTcred with 
red. Flesh marbled with blood red, very juicy and rich. 
Ripe here July 20th. 
17. Green Catharine. — A beautiful, large oblong Peach. 
Skin creamy white, with a red cheek. Flesh very firm, 
sweet and delicious. An excellent market fruit, as but 
few freestones will bear carriage so well. Ripe here July 
20th. 
18. Late Admirable. — An excellent and very productive 
variety. Fruit above medium size; roundish, inclined to 
oval. Skin yellowish green, with a slight cheek. Flesh 
greenish, melting, very juicy and of a delicious flavor. 
Ripe here July 20th ; freestone. 
19. Brevoorl's Morris. — A large and well flevored 
Peach ; a fine market fruit on account of the firmness of its 
flesh. Ripe July 20th ; freestone. 
20. President. — A very large, rather oblong, freestone 
Peach, often measuring 8 inches in circumference. Skin 
rather downy, and of a dingy, yellowish green color, with 
a dull red cheek. Flesh white, red at the stone, juicy, 
melting and very sweet. Good market fruit, and very ; 
productive. Ripe here July 24th. 
21. Crawford's Late. — A noble looking Peach of the 
largest size, often measuring 9 inches in circumferance. 
It resembles very much the Crawford’s Early, but ripens 
about 10 days later. Both varieties are unsurpassed as 
market fruits. Very productive. Ripe here July 24ch. 
22. Columbia. — This Peach was first raised extensively 
by Col. Pace, of Columbia county, Ga., and described by 
CoxE under its present name. It is well known about 
Augusta as the “Pace” Peach. Here, about Macon, it is 
called the “Tinley” Peach, and is a noble looking, very 
large fruit. I have had them measuring 11 inches in cir- 
cumference, and weighing 14 ounces. Skin downy, dull 
dingy yellow, marbled with dull red. Flesh yellow, 
sometimes marbled with red streaks, firm and juicy, but 
not highly flavored, except in particularly favorable seas- 
ons. This was, for instance, the case in 1853, when we 
had a good deal of rain during the month of May, which 
caused the fruit to swell to an unusual size ; the month of 
July was excessively hot, and developed the saccharine 
substances perfectly. It bears carriage well, and is often 
shipped from here to New York, where it always arrives 
in fine condition; but as the market by that time is al- 
ready crowded with fruit, it does not command so liigh a 
price as the earlier varieties, such as “Flewellen” and 
“Crawford’s Early.” Ripe here about August 3d ; free- 
stone. 
23. Druid Hill. — A very fine freestone variety, above 
medium size; though it cannot compare with the Colom- 
bia, in regard to size, it is by far its superior in juciness 
and flavor. Too tender fleshed for distant markets 
Fruit round and rather depressed. Skin greenish white, 
with a slight cheek. Flesh very juicy, melting and rich. 
Ripe here August 8th. 
24. Newington Clingstone. — A very large and beauti- 
ful fruit, not so much appreciated at the North as with us. 
Fruit very large, and oblong. Skin clear creamy white, 
with a fine red cheek. Flesh firm, cream color, red at 
the stone, very juicy and well flavored. Ripe here by I 
August 10th. Fine market fruit. j 
25. Late Rareripe.— K freestone Peach of the largest j 
size, often as large as the Crawford’s, though, by no 
means, so handsome. Fruit inclined to oval, the swollen 
point at the top a little sunken. Skin very downy, green- 
ish gray, somewhat marbled with red and with a dark 
red cheek, splashed with yellowish spots. Flesh white, 
red at the stone, juicy, melting and of an exceedingly 
rich flavor. Ripe here August 10th. 
26. Lemon Cling. — This well known, beautiful variety 
originated, many years ago, in South CaroUna. Fruit is 
quite large, oblong, with a large projecting point at the 
top, resembling that of a lemon, whence its name. Skin 
lively bright orange, with a deep red cheek. Flesh very 
firm, exceedingly juicy, with a rieh vinous flavor. It is 
the best fruit for preserving in brandy. Very productive, 
and excellent for market — always in great demand. Ripe 
here August 20th. 
27. La Grange. — A large, though not a handsome vari- 
ety. Fruit quite oblong, rather pointed at the top. Skin 
very downy, pure white, frequently marked with some 
blackish spots. Flesh white and juicy. A good market 
variety, as it is very firm ; freestone. Ripe here August 
20th. 
28. Heath's Freestone^ also called “Kenrick’s Heath ;” a 
very large, oblong Peach. Mr. Downing thinks it only 
second-rate in New England; here it is always a fine 
Peach. Skin greenish white, with a purplish cheek. 
Flesh white, juicy, melting, and well flavored. Ripe here 
August 20th. A very productive market fruit. 
29- Heath Cling. — This is the best late clingstone in 
the North ; here, however, we cannot call it late, as it 
ripens by the 25th of August. Fruit quite large, oblong, 
with a large swollen point at the top. Skin downy, creamy 
white with a slightly red cheek. Flesh greenish white, 
very juicy and sweet, with a rich and delicious flavor. 
30. Watkin's Cling. — A seedling from here, probably 
sprung from “Heath’s Cling,” to which it bears a good 
deal of resemblance. It is, however, not so oblong, nor 
pointed, and is covered with more red. It also ripens 
some days later — September 1st. Both the later varieties 
are excellent for preserving. 
31. White Globe. — Another seedling, raised here. Fruit 
very large, sometimes 11 inches in circumference, round. 
Skin pure white, seldom tinged with red on the sunny 
side. Hesh white, very juicy, with a lucious and highly 
aromatic flavor. Ripe September 8th ; clingstone. 
32. Demming’s Orange. — A beautiful yellow clingstone, 
resembling the “Lemon Cling,” but ripening by Septem- 
ber 1 5th. Raised by Mr. Demming, of Milledgeville, Ga., 
a few years ago. 
33. Pavie el e Pompon. — This very large French variety 
requires our long and hot summers to come to perfection, 
and is, consequently, not appreciated at the North. Fruit 
very large, frequently 9 inches in circumference, inclining 
to oval with a distinct swollen point at the top. Skin 
yellowish white, much covered with red, and a deep red 
cheek. Flesh white, deejj.red at the stone, very firm, 
juicy and well flavored. It is an excellent variety for 
Southern latitudes. Ripe here September 25th ; cling- 
stone. 
34. Bahhi'in's Late Free. — This beautiful late freestone 
Peach was disseminated only three years ago by that zeal- 
ous horticulturist. Dr. W. O. Baldwin, of Montgomery, 
Ala. Fruit large, oblong, with a distinctswollen point at 
the top. Skin greenish white, with a slight red cheek. 
Flesh very firm, juicy, melting and well flavored. Ripe 
here about the 2Uth of October, and will keep for several 
weeks in the house. I have another late Peach, raised by 
Dr Baldwin, which he has named “Pride of Autumn,” 
and thinks still finer, but it has not yet fruited with me. 
35. Nix' Late Cling. — A Georgia seedling. Fruit ob- 
long and large. Skin pure white, slightly tinged with 
red. Flesh white, firm, juicy and well flavored. Ripe 
October 20th, and will, like most late Peaches, keep several 
weeks. 
36. Thomas' November Cling. — Mo-t late Peaches are 
j freestones, and the two last varieties being cling.stones, of 
fine flavor, must be considered quite an acquisition. This 
Peach originated in Dooly County, Ga., where the origin- 
al tree still stands in full vigor. Fruit large. Skin white. 
Flesh white very firm, juicy and highly flavored. Ripe 
November 1st to 12th,
