This variety is a most reliable and hardy Peach, first rate for 
inside or outside culture. Pipe early in September. 
Crawford’s Early.—True. Flowers small; leaves very slightly 
serrated, with round glands ; fruit very large, deeper than it is 
broad ; skin a deep yellow changing to dark orange on the exposed 
side ; flesh yellow, with a red tinge near the stone, from which it 
parts freely. The flavour is not very good at Chiswick, the 
flesh being somewhat dry and stringy; nor is it an early variety, 
as it name would indicate, the fruit not being ripe until the early 
part of September. 
Cricket.—True. Flowers small; leaves serrated deeply, with 
kidney glands ; fruit medium size, pale green on the shaded 
side, deep crimson on the exposed side; flesh white and of fair 
quality, parting readily from the stone. A mid-season variety, 
of comparatively little value at Chiswick. 
Crimson Galande.—True. Flowers small; leaves serrated, 
with round glands ; fruit medium to large, round, with a small 
depression at the apex ; skin crimson on the shaded side and 
deeper in colour on the exposed side; flesh deeply tinged 
with red, especially near the stone, from which it parts readily. 
The flavour is exquisite and the tree one of the freest 
bearers. Pipe about the middle of August. 
Condor.—True. Flowers small; leaves deeply serrated, with 
kidney glands ; fruit medium to large, roundish, with a very 
small nipple ; skin pale on the shaded side, deep crimson on the 
exposed side ; flesh whitish, melting, juicy, and first-class flavour. 
An excellent mid-season variety. 
Dagmar.—True. Flowers small; leaves moderately serrated, 
occasionally having both round and kidney-shaped glands, the 
latter usually predominating on the leaves; fruit deeper than 
broad, with a prominent nipple at the apex; skin downy and 
nearly covered with deep crimson ; flesh white, very melting, 
and fine flavour. Pipe early in August. 
Desse Tardive.—True. Flowers small; leaves serrated, with 
round glands ; fruit large, free from any nipple ; skin pale on the 
shaded side, heavily marked on the exposed side with crimson ; 
flesh white, tinged with red near the stone. This variety 
is one of the best flavoured Peaches at Chiswick, being very 
juicy and melting, with a peculiarly rich taste. Pipe early in 
September.
