Descriptive catalogue of Lake George Nurseries : winter 1887-8 descriptivecatal1887wwha Year: 1887 LAKE GEORGE NURSERIES. 17 HONEY PEACH.—Medium size; oblong, with a sharp, recurved point at lower end; flesh of a peculiarly fine texture, and of honey ' sweetness; qual- ity, not quite as rich as the Peen- To, but sweeter, and ripens two weeks later; tree very thrifty grow- er and prolific. Originated by Charles Downing from pits sent from China in 1854. Is very successful in Florida, even on poor sandy soils. This and the Peen- To peach are great additions to the fruits of Florida, and are destined to rank among the first of our Florida fruits, both for market and home use. HOXEY PEACH. Of a peculiar elongated form; cheek of a bright blush; very sweet; stone very small; a freestone; two weeks later than the Peen-to. PEARS. THE KEIFFER HYBRID PEAR.—This pear is a seedling from the Chinese Sand Pear, crossed with a cultivated variet> supposed to be the Bartlett. It is an early bearer, and the fruit is very large and ripens as late as September, even in Florida. It has the same luxuriant foliage as the Le- Conte, and should, like it, be cut back ever} season. It is said to be much better for canning than for eating, although it is very good for eating. Should in all cases be grown from cuttings, or grown on LeConte roots.
