Irish Peach:
Fruit, medium sized, two inches and three quarters wide, by two inches and a quarter high ; roundish, somewhat flattened, and slightly angular. Skin, smooth, pale yellowish-green, tinged with dull redishbrown, and thickly dotted with green dots on the shaded side ; but fine lively red, mottled and speckled with yellow spots on the side exposed to the sun. Eye, small and closed, set in a rather deep, and knobbed basin, which is lined with thick tomentum. Stalk, short, thick, and fleshy, inserted in a pretty deep cavity. Flesh, greenish-white, tender, and crisp, abounding in a rich, brisk, vinous, and aromatic juice, which, at this season, is particularly refreshing.
An early dessert apple of the finest quality. It is ripe during the first week in August (northern hempisphere) , and lasts all through that month. It is a most beautiful, and certainly one of the most excellent summer apples, possessing all the rich flavor of some of the winter varieties, with the abundant and refreshing
juice of the summer fruits. Like most of the summer apples it is in greatest perfection when eaten from the tree, which is hardy, vigorous, and an abundant bearer.
