LOVELL. Little known in the East, Lovell is one of the most widely planted of yellow- fleshed freestones in California, where it has the reputation of being the best canning, dry- ing, and shipping freestone, as the flesh is often heavier than that of Muir, which this variety follows in season. The trees are remarkable for their vigor and productiveness, but are said to be susceptible to leaf-curl in some regions. The variety originated as a chance seedling with G. W. Thissell, Winters, California, in 1882. Tree very vigorous, spreading, somewliat drooping, very productive; glands globose ; flowers small, appear- ing in midseason, heavily tinged with red. Fruit midseason, 2 inches wide, 2/ inches in diameter, round, compressed; suture distinct, extending beyond the apex; sltin bright yellow with a faint marbled blush ; flesh yellow to the pit, firm
