MARY NURSERIES. 13 1869, since which time this peach has been planted quite extensively in Florida, and has succeeded admirably in many sections of the State. Although I am personally situated in a section of the State where the original Peen to is apt to be caught by frosts while in bloom, yet my shipments of this variety in 1887 amounted to nearly 400 bushels. During recent years numerous varieties have originated from Peen-to seed, in many of which the form of the peach has changed from that of the flat Peen-to to a round or roundish oblong peach, and in some of them other improvements over the original have been obtained, such as later blooming (and consequent less danger from frosts), handsomer and more perfect fruit, etc. The characteristics of each variety will, however, be taken up separately, commencing with the parent. Peen-to.—This is a very curiously formed peach, resembling in shape a small, flat turnip, both ends being flattened, and the pit also partaking of the same shape. The color of the peach is a greenish white, beautifully washed with red in the sun, and, when allowed to thoroughly ripen on the tree, the fruit changes from its shade of light green to a most delicate waxen yellow. Flesh pale yellow, sweet, rich, juicy and of fine flavor, sometimes possessing a slight noyau flavor, which is barely apparent, however, when the trees are properly fertilized; clingstone, stone remarkably small ; ripens, according to soil and locality, from April 20th to June ist. Bidweirs Karly.—A seedling of the Peen-to, originated at Orlando, Fla. Shape roundish oblong, with short recurved point; size medium, skin creamy white, washed with carmine ; flesh fine-grained, melting, 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
