bitter almond or noyau flavor characteristic of the parent Peen-to and most of its 
seedlings. The fruit is a perfect freestone. Ripens June 20th to 30th. The trees 
come into bearing while very young and are exceedingly prolific. Its time of bloom¬ 
ing is a full month later than the Peen-to, thus obviating danger from late frosts in 
many sections where the Peen-to gets caught. Very valuable. 
Rev. Lyman Phelps, the noted fruit grower of Sanford, Fla., writes us under 
date of July 28th, 1892: “So far the Angel is the peach of any other for South 
Florida.” 
Amelia.—This peach originated in Orangeburg, s. C., and is hard to excel 
either in size, beauty or quality : fruit very large, roundish oblong; suture large and 
deep, extending nearly around; skin pale, whitish yellow, shaded and marbled

with crimson; flesh white, vinous, sweet* juicy and melting; freestone. Ripens 
July 1st to 10th. 
Alexander. —Fruit large, highly colored; flesh greenish white, juicy, vinous, 
and of fair quality; clingstone. The earliest to ripen of any variety of the Persian 
type; about June 1st. 
Bidwell’s Early. —A seedling of the Peen-to. Shape roundish oblong, with 
short recurved point; size medium; skin creamy wdiite, washed with carmine ; flesh 
fine grained* meltihg, juicy and sweet, with slight noyau flavor; clingstone. Com¬ 
mences to mature at about the same time as Peen-to, but continues during a longer 
period. Uncertain in Northern Florida on account of early blooming. 
Bidwell’s Late. —A seedling of the Peen-to, originated at Orlando, Fla., and 
the best of the “Bidwell” varieties. Shape nearly round; size large; color yellowish 
white; clingstone; flesh fine grained, sweet and juicy. Matures about three weeks 
later than Peen-to. Quality excellent. This has proved a sure hearer farther north 
than most other varieties of the same origin.
