1878. The fruit resembles the parent, but is much 
larger and more round in shape; flesh white, melting, 
with a rich, vinous aroma. Maturity July 10; blooms 
two or three weeks later than the Honey, and is, 
therefore, as a rule, more successful.

cheek; flesh yellow, buttery, rich, sweet, and of the 
highest flavor. Maturity from end of August to 
middle of September.

very flat; skin pale greenish white, with a beautiful 
mottled red cheek; flesh finely grained; good quality. 
As this Peach colors a long time before maturity or 
full development, it is often gathered prematurely, 
which renders it unfit for use. It should be allowed 
to hang upon the tree until approaching full maturity, 
when it shows its excellent quality.
