. The American fruit culturist : containing directions for the propagation and culture of fruit trees in the nursery, orchid and garden : with descriptions of the principal American and foreign varieties cultivated in the United States . Fruit-culture. 290 THE PEACH. Malta. (Syn. Italian.) Rather large, roundish, slightly flattened, suture broad, shallow, surface pale dull green, blotched and spotted with dull purple next the sun; flesh greenish, slightly red at the stone, very juicy, melting, rich, with an excellent sub-acid, vinous flavor. Ripens end of summer. A moderate bearer. Shoots slightly liable to mildew. A spurious sort with globose glands, and of infe- rior quality, has been generally desseminated in this country. Noblesse. {Syn. Vanguard, Mellish's Favorite.) Large, round-oblong or oval, slightly narrower at apex, and ter- minated by a short acute point; skin pale green, clouded and shaded with light dull red to the sun; flesh pale greenish white to stone, very juicy, with a very rich high flavor. Tree of rather slow growth and liable to mildew, the only drawback on the value of this excellent peach. Ripens end of summer and the beginning of autumn. English. SERRATE EARLY YORK.* {Syn. True Early York, Early York of Downing, Early Purple erroneously. Size medium, roundish-oval, suture slight; dotted with red on greenish-white in the shade, dark red to the sun ; flesh very ten- der and full of juice, rich, with a faint Bring- ing of acid. Quite early, or middle of 8 mo., (Aug.) Growth rather free for a ser- rate - leaved peach.— Very productive, and from its earliness, of great value. Differs from the Large Early. Fig. 240. York by its large flowers, cut-leaves, oval fruit, and earlier maturity. * This name has been objected to at consisting of more than two words, but it is much shorter than Crawford s Early MeUxotm and White Blossomed Incomputable, so commonly adopted. It is even as short as the single term Incomparable,. Please note that these images
