The fruit resembles the peach in shape, and the resemblance is heightened not only by its peculiar delicate bloom (like the bloom of a peach), but also by its distinct suffused coloring and faint stripes from stem to blossom end. The tomatoes are two inches in diameter and in color are a deep rose and golden-amber blended in an indescribable man- ner, all covered with delicate bloom, like the blossom or furze
. Burpee's farm annual 1893. Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. THE PEACH TOMATO. The fruit resembles the peach in shape, and the resemblance is heightened not only by its peculiar delicate bloom (like the bloom of a peach), but also by its distinct suffused coloring and faint stripes from stem to blossom end. The tomatoes are two inches in diameter and in color are a deep rose and golden-amber blended in an indescribable man- ner, all covered with delicate bloom, like the blossom or furze of a fine peach. For eating out of the hand as fruit it is without a rival, the very solid, rich, meaty flesh being unequaled in delicacy of flavor, and melting in the mouth like a grape. It is also remarkable for its extremely thin skin, which can be readily peeled, like the skin of a fine peach. It is very productive, the fruits being borne in clusters of from four to eight; they never rot nor speck, even when touching the wet ground. It is most excellent for preserves.
