Medium, oblong, with a sharp recurved point; creamy white, washed and mottled carmine; flesh of a peculiar fine texture, and a honey sweetness; tree very thrifty, distinct grower, and pro- lific. Ripe about May 25. The fruit is apt in some soils to be devoid of flavor. Originated by Charles Downing, Esq., about 1854, from pits sent from China. First trees sent out by us in 1858. This peach is second to the Peen-To only in its remarkable adaptability to Upper and Middle Florida. It succeeds where no other varieties of the Persian or Chinese strains give satisfac- tory results. It is of a distinct strain of the Chinese type, and reproduces itself almost identically from seed. t *- PALLASâSeedling from Honey. This is the only seedling, out of many hundred, of the Honey Peach, made in 1876, which lias varied from the parent. It was originated by the late Dr. L. E. Berckmans, and first fruited in 1878. The fruit resembles the parent in size, but is more round in shape; flesh white, melting and vinous. Maturity two weeks later than Honey. Tree retains the habit of the parent, except that it blooms two weeks later. We feel confident that this variety will prove a valuable addition to the limited list of desirable sorts for Florida, where it has been tested and found as successful as the Honey
