I 5 BIDWELL'S LATE PEACH.âSame parentage as Biduell s Early.

REMARKS. Both these peaches were originated by Mr. A. I. Bidwell, the vet- eran nurseryman of Orlando, and a large fruit grower, from the seed of the Peen-To, or Chinese flat peach, and are being introduced throughout the State by ]\Ir. James Mott, of the same place. Mr. Mott says: 'They are both what may be called half clings, and both carr\ long distances better than any peach I handled. I sent them to New York when fully ripe, and they were perfect when they got through. ' We would like to add to the above that we had an opportunit)' to test these peaches in May, through the courtesy of Mr. Bidwell, and found them ver}' fine. Specimens that he gave us kept for six days â after getting ripe.
