of the country. Time, from July 15th to September 1st. Freestone. 2. _Crawford's Late_ is very large and handsome; uniformly productive, though not nearly so good a bearer as Crawford's Early. Ripens last of September and in October. Fair quality, and always handsome; freestone; excellent for market. 3. _Columbia._--Origin, New Jersey. It is a thoroughly-tested variety, raised and described by Mr. Cox, who wrote one of the earliest and best American fruit-books. Fine specimens were exhibited in 1856, grown in Covington, Ky. Excellent in all parts of the United States. Freestone. 4. _George the Fourth._--A large, delicious, freestone peach, an American seedling from Mr. Gill, Broad street, New York. The National Pomological Society have decided the tree to be so healthy and productive as to adapt it to all localities in this country. It has twenty-five synonyms. 5. _Early York._--Freestone; the best, and first really good, early peach. Time July at Cincinnati, and August at Cleveland. Time of ripening of all varieties varies with latitude, location, and season. 6. _Grass Mignonne._--A foreign variety, a great favorite in France, in the time of Louis XIV. Very rich freestone, flourishing in all climates from Boston south. The high repute in which it has long been held is seen in its thirty synonyms. One of the best, when you can obtain the genuine. Time, August. 7. _Honest John._--A large, beautiful, delicious, freestone variety. Highly prized as a late peach, maturing from the middle to the last of October. Indispensable in even a small selection. 8. _Malacatune._--A very popular American freestone peach, derived from a Spanish, and is the parent of the Crawford peaches, both early and late. 9. _Morris White._--Everywhere well known; a good bearer; best for preserving at the North; a good dessert peach South. 10. _Morris Red Rare-ripe._--A favorite, freestone, July peach. The tree is healthy and a great bearer. 11. _Old Mixon._--Should be found in all gardens and orchards; it is of excellent quality and ripens at a time when few good peaches are to be had; it endures spring-frosts better than any other variety; profitable. 12. _Old Mixon Cling._--One of the most delicious early clingstones. Deserves a place in all gardens. 13. _Monstrous Cling._--Not the best quality, but profitable for market on account of its great size. 14. _Heath Cling._--Very good South and West.
