Routier's Peach—This very choice variety originated with Senator Joseph Routier, of Sacramento Co. Fruit of the largest size, somewhat resembling the Moorpark, but the rwo are readily distinguished by the eye when standing tear each other; the fruit of the Peach is larger, and finer and two weeks earlier. Fruit of the largest size, rather flattened and compressed on its sides, with a well marked suture. Skin orange yellow, flesh of a fine saffion yellow color, juicy rich and highly flavored. Mr. [oshua Worswick, of Grangeville, King's County, California, writes of it as follows: "I have about 250 trees of the "Routier Peach" and about the same number of the "Bob Gorley," which was sold to me as a variety identical to it, but which is far inferior and does not resemble it at all. The tree in this locality is a prolific bearer and fine grower and as yet has never failed (my trees are nine years old) to produce a crop of fruit. It does not blossom as early in the spring as the other varieties, thereby escaping the danger of late frosts; another good point in its favor is its large size averaging almost twice the size of the standard varieties, such as Royal, etc., I cannot recommend it too ; This apricot is undoubtedly a valuable acquisition, and we take pleasure in recommending it, as one of the very best apricots in existence.
