39  Morris's large White Rareripe
same as White cheek Malacotan of Prince No 83
and clearstone Heath  No 71 of S. Cole

[sketch of peach]

The Wite Rareripe is the most admired
of our clear stones.  The skin is of a white color
inclining to yellow with black clouds or
spots sometimes scattered on the Surface, 
frequently perfectly clear.  The flesh
is of a rich melting quality highly luscious.
The Stone frequently opens in splitting
the Peach leaving the kernel <s>illegible</s> exposed
to view.  It ripens about the end of August
and beginning of August. Is a great
bearer and is long in Season, not subject
to rotting - very profitable as
a market fruit -  The tree being very
hardy. It is rather a large peach, shape 
oblong, leaf pale green. It is called
the Freestone Heath and by Prince
is distinguished by the name of the
White Cheek Malacotan.
