Eventually, No. 15 was introduced as Early Michigan but because of its similarity to No. 16, the latter is often substituted for it. The true Early Michigan is a cross between Hale Early and Chili. As it fruits at this Station, the peaches lack size and quality. In 1909 the American Pomological Society added it to its fruit-list. Tree vigorous, spreading; glands reniform; flowers appear early, large, showy; fruit of medium size, roundish-oval; cavity deep, narrow; apex with a large, mucronate tip; skin thin, tender, with long, thick pubescence, creamy, blushed with dull red, with a few deep red splashes; flesh greenish-white, tinged at the pit, juicy, stringy, melting, sweet, mild; stone free, broadly oval, plump; ripens the last of August. =Early Miners.= =1.= _N.

This variety originated far back in the Eighteenth Century. According to Mas, it was raised by a M. Desse, Chantecoq, Seine, France, and passed for a long time under the name Desse Hâtive. Early Purple long found favor in European orchards but is not much grown now, being surpassed by better sorts. It was brought to America by William Prince, Flushing, New York, early in the Nineteenth Century and soon became confused with Early York. The true variety, however, quickly passed from cultivation and the name has ever since been confused with that of Early York. Fruit medium to large, roundish, flattened at the base; suture deep; color yellowish, blushed with dark red and dotted with red on the shaded side; pubescence thick, fine; flesh white, stained red under the skin on the side exposed to the sun, tinged with red next the pit, juicy, vinous, highly flavored, melting; very good in quality; stone semi-free to free, brownish-red; ripens early. =Early Rareripe I.= =1.= _Am. Pom. Soc. Rpt._ 85. 1854. Dr. H. A. Muhlenberg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, originated this freestone. =Early Rareripe II.= =1.= _Kan. Hort. Soc. Rpt._ 50. 1901.

P. Stark, Stark City, Missouri, was grown by John Keller, Fort Valley, Georgia, from the pit of a Honey-flavored peach crossed with one of the Indian peaches. Tree a moderate grower, rather small; flowers large; fruit of medium size, a rich, deep red; flesh white, rich, sweet; clingstone; ripens with Eureka. The fruit is handsomely colored and is said to sell for a fancy price wherever known. Unfortunately, it seems not yet to have been tried in the North. =Early Royal George.= =1.= Kenrick _Am. Orch._ 220. 1832. =2.= _Mag. Hort._ =14=:538. 1848. _Early George._ =3.= _Tex. Sta. Bul._ =39=:811. 1896. This variety may be an American seedling of Royal George.

Gen._ =12=:143, 144, fig. 8. 1883. _Victoria._ =3.= _Am. Pom. Soc. Cat._ 39. 1909. Early Victoria should not be confused with the Victoria of the South. This variety first fruited in 1854 with Thomas Rivers, Sawbridgeworth, England, from a stone of Early York. In 1909 the American Pomological Society added it to its fruit-list as Victoria. Leaves glandless; flowers large; fruit of medium size, roundish; skin pale yellow, with a maroon blush; flesh white, melting, juicy, sweet; stone free, small; season very early, a week before its parent. =Early Wheeler.= =1.= _U.

Honey is a Chinese peach probably first raised in Europe from seed sent to the Jardin des Plantes at Paris, by de Montigny, Consul of France, at Shanghai. The name Honey may have been applied to it in England. It reproduces itself closely from seed and a number of slight variations from the original type have been found in America. The strain chiefly grown in this country was raised by Charles Downing from seed brought from China. Downing's seedlings failed but prior to their failure he had sent grafts from them to Henry Lyons, Columbia, South Carolina, who grew some trees. The variety was probably disseminated in America from this source. In 1889 the American Pomological Society added Honey to its list of fruits. Tree vigorous, hardy and productive in the South; glands usually reniform but sometimes globose; fruit small to medium, oblong-oval, tapering at the apex into a long, sharp nipple or beak, and marked with a distinct suture; color whitish-yellow, washed and dotted with red, which deepens to almost a crimson blush; flesh creamy-white, streaked with red around the pit, juicy, very tender, melting, sweet, with a distinct, rich, honey-like flavor; quality very good; pit free; season in the South from the middle of June to the first of July. =Honey Cling.= =1.= _Cal.

This peach has often been confused with Early York and Morris Red Rareripe. The fruit is larger and broader and ripens a week later than the first and its serrate, glandless leaves serve to distinguish it from the latter. Because of its similarity to Royal George, it is supposed to be an American seedling of that variety. Leaves serrate, glandless; flowers small; fruit large, roundish but broad and depressed; suture broad, extending nearly around the fruit; skin white, mottled with red dots, with a rich, dark red cheek; flesh white, red at the stone, juicy, melting, rich, highly flavored; ripens from the middle to the last of August. =Red River.= =1.= _Del.

It is very doubtful if the variety here described as Royal George is the original variety. According to Hogg the first mention of Royal George is by Switzer who said, in 1724, that it was raised by a Mr. Oram, Brompton Lane, England. At this time George the First was on the throne and, no doubt, the peach was named for him. The variety became popular but was difficult to propagate since it united with peach stocks very poorly. Hence, nurserymen substituted Millet's Mignonne, a new sort at that time which had been introduced by a Mr. Millet, North End, Fulham, England. The original Royal George was probably a seedling of Grosse Mignonne and but little different from that variety in many characters. The long list of synonyms given Royal George by writers attests the length of time this name has been extant and the confusion surrounding its identity. Flowers small; leaves serrate, without glands; fruit large, round, somewhat depressed, with a moderately deep suture; skin very pale yellowish-white, sprinkled with many red dots and marbled with deep red; flesh pale yellowish-white, very red at the stone from which it separates, very juicy, melting, rich and highly flavored; usually ripens the first of September. =Royal George Clingstone.= =1.= Prince _Pom. Man._ =2=:20. 1832. Differs from Royal George by being more oblong in shape and having flesh adherent to the stone. =Royal George Mignonne.= =1.= Lindley _Guide Orch. Gard._ 270, 271. 1831. According to Lindley, this variety is reported to have been raised from seed by a friend of a Mr. Ronalds, Brentford, England. Although it closely resembles Royal George, Lindley says they are distinct. =Royal Vineyard.= =1.= Thomas _Guide Prat._ 53. 1876.

Royale is an old French sort which originated about 1644 near Port-Royal-des-Champs, France. It resembles Admirable of which it is a seedling and has been confused more or less with Belle de Vitry, Bourdine and Teton de Venus, all of which are listed separately in this text. In 1873 there appeared a Late Admirable in the fruit-list of the American Pomological Society which is identical with Royale. Leaves crenate, with globose glands; flowers small, pale red; fruit large, roundish, inclining to oval; suture deep; apex with a small, pointed nipple; skin pale greenish-yellow, marbled and streaked with dark red; flesh whitish, stained at the pit, melting, juicy; freestone; ripens at the end of September. =Royale de Barsac.= =1.= Baltet _Cult.

Fruits_ 450-456. 1914. "_Trays for Drying._--The fruit is placed upon trays for exposure to the sun. There is great variation in the size of the trays. The common small tray is made of one-half inch sugar-pine lumber two feet wide and three feet long, the boards forming it being held together by nailing to a cleat on each end, one by one and a quarter inches, and a lath or narrow piece of half-inch stuff is nailed over the ends of the boards, thus stiffening the tray and aiding to prevent warping. A large tray which is used by some growers is four feet square, and is made of slats three-eighths of an inch thick, and one and a half inches wide, the slats being nailed to three cross slats three-eighths of an inch thick and three inches wide, and the ends nailed to a narrow strip one-half inch thick by three-quarters of an inch wide on the other side. Since large drying yards have been supplied with tramways and trucks for moving the fruit instead of hand carriage, larger trays, three feet by six or three feet by eight, have been largely employed. These tramways lead from the cutting sheds to the sulphur boxes and thence to various parts of the large drying grounds, making it possible to handle large amounts of fruit at a minimum cost. _Protecting Fruit from Dew._--In the interior there are seldom any deposit of dew in the drying season but occasionally there are early rains before the drying season is over. The fruit is then protected by piling the trays one upon another, in which operation the thick cleats serve a good purpose. In dewy regions the trays are piled at night, or cloth or paper is sometimes stretched over the fruit, thus reducing the discoloration resulting from deposits of moisture upon it. _Drying Floors._--For the most part the trays are laid directly on the ground, but sometimes a staging of posts and rails is built to support them, about twenty inches from the ground. The drying trays are sometimes distributed through the orchard or vineyard, thus drying the fruit with as little carrying as possible. Others clear off a large space outside the plantation and spread the trays where full sunshine can be obtained. Drying spaces should be selected at a distance from traveled roads, to prevent the deposit of dust on the fruit * * *. _Grading._--It is of great advantage in drying to have all the fruit on a tray of approximately the same size, and grading before cutting is advisable. Machines are now made which accomplish this very cheaply and quickly. _Cutting-Sheds._--Shelter of some kind is always provided for the fruit-cutters. Sometimes it is only a temporary bower made of poles and beams upon which tree branches are spread as a thatch; sometimes open-side sheds with boarded roof, and sometimes a finished fruit-house is built, two stories high, the lower story opening with large doors on the north side, and with a large loft above, where the dried fruit can be sweated, packed, and stored for sale. The climate is such that almost any shelter which suits the taste of the purse of the producer will answer the purpose. _Sulphuring._--The regulations promulgated under the pure food law enacted by Congress in 1906 established an arbitrary limit to the percentage of sulphur compounds in evaporated fruits, which was shown by producers to be destructive to their industry, and otherwise unwarranted and unreasonable. As a result of their protest the enforcement of such regulations was indefinitely postponed, pending the results of scientific investigation which began in 1898. From the point of view of the California producer it must be held that before the employment of the sulphur process, California cured fruits were suitable only to the lowest culinary uses. They were of undesirable color, devoid of natural flavor, offensive by content of insect life. They had no value which would induce production and discernible future. Placing the trays of freshly cut fruit in boxes or small 'houses,' with the fumes of burning sulphur, made it possible to preserve its natural color and flavor during the evaporation of its surplus moisture in the clear sunshine and dry air of the California summer. It also prevented souring, which with some fruits is otherwise not preventable in such open air drying, and it protected the fruit from insect attack during the drying process. By the use of sulphur and by no other agency has it been possible to lift the production of cured fruits of certain kinds from a low-value haphazard by-product to a primary product for which Californians have planted orchards, constructed packing houses and made a name in the world's markets. The action of sulphuring is not alone to protect the fruit, it facilitates evaporation so that about one-half less time is required therefor. Not the least important bearing of this fact is the feasibility of curing fruits in larger pieces. The grand half-peaches, half-apricots, half-pears of the California cured fruits are the direct result of the sulphur process. Without it the fruit must be cut into small sections or ribbons, which in cooking break down into an uninviting mass, while, with the sulphuring, it is ordinary practice to produce the splendid halves with their natural color so preserved that they lie in cut glass dishes in suggestive semblance to the finest product of the canners, and are secured at a fraction of the cost. There are various contrivances for the application of sulphur fumes to the freshly-cut fruit. Some are small for hand carriage of trays; some are large and the trays are wheeled into them upon trucks. The most common is a bottomless cabinet about five or six feet high, of a width equal to the length of the tray and a depth a little more than the width of the tray. The cabinet has a door the whole width of one side, and on the sides within cleats are nailed so that the trays of fruit slip in like drawers into a bureau. Some push in the trays so that the bottom one leaves a little space at the back, the next a little space at the front, and so on, that the fumes may be forced by the draft to pass between the trays back and forward. The essentials seem to be open holes or dampers in the bottom and top of the cabinet so that the fumes from the sulphur burning at the bottom may be thoroughly distributed through the interior, and then all openings are tightly closed. To secure a tight chamber the door has its edge felted and the cabinet is made of matched lumber. The sulphur is usually put on a shovel or iron pot, and it is ignited by a hot coal, or a hot iron, or it is thrown on paper of which the edges are set on fire, or a little alcohol is put on the sulphur and lighted, etc. The sulphur is usually burned in a pit in the ground under the cabinet. The application of sulphur must be watchfully and carefully made, and the exposure of the fruit should only be long enough to accomplish the end desired. The exposure required differs for different fruits, and with the same fruits in different conditions, and must be learned by experience. _Grading and Cleaning._--After the fruit is sufficiently dried (and it is impossible to describe how this point may be recognized except by the experienced touch), it is gathered from the trays in to large boxes and taken to the fruit house. Some growers put it into a revolving drum of punctured sheet iron, which rubs the pieces together and separates it from dust, etc., which falls out through the apertures as the drum revolves. Others empty the fruit upon a large wire-cloth table and pick it over, grading it according to size and color, and at the same time the dust and small particles of foreign matter fall through the wire cloth. The fanning mill for cleaning grain may also be used for rapid separation of dirt, leaves, etc., with proper arrangement of metal screens. _Sweating._--All fruit, if stored in mass after drying, becomes moist. This action should take place before packing. To facilitate it, the fruit is put in piles on the floor of the fruit house and turned occasionally with a scoop shovel; or, if allowed to sweat in boxes, the fruit is occasionally poured from one box to another. The sweating equalizes the moisture throughout the mass. Some large producers have sweat-rooms with tight walls, which preserve an even temperature. No fruit should be packed before 'going through the sweat.' If this is not done, discoloration and injury will result. _Dipping before Packing._--All fruits except prunes can be packed in good condition without dipping, provided the fruit is not over-dried. Efforts should be made to take up the fruit when it is just sufficiently cured to prevent subsequent fermentation. If taken from the trays in the heat of the day and covered so that the fruit moth can not reach it there is little danger of worms. The highest grades of fruit are made in this way. If, however, the fruit has been over-dried or neglected, it can be dipped in boiling water to kill eggs of vermin and to make the fruit a little more pliable for the press. The dipping should be done quickly, and the fruit allowed to drain and then lie in a dark room, carefully covered, for twenty-four hours before packing. _Packing._--To open well, packages of dried fruit should be 'faced.' The many fine arts of paper lining, etc., must be learned by observation. Flatten some fair specimens of the fruit to be packed (and reference is especially made to such fruits as apricots, peaches and nectarines) by running them through a clothes wringer or similar pair of rollers set to flatten but not crush the fruit. Do not face with better fruit than the package is to contain. It is a fraud which will not in the end be profitable. Lay the flattened fruit (cup side down) neatly in the bottom of the box. Fill the box until it reaches the amount the box is to contain, and then apply the press until the bottom can be nailed on. Invert the box and put on the label or brand; the bottom then becomes the top. Many different kinds of boxes are used. A very good size is made of seasoned pine, six inches deep by nine inches wide by fifteen inches long, inside measurements, and it will hold twenty-five pounds of fruit. * * * _Peaches._--Take the fruit when it is fully ripe, but not mushy; cut cleanly all around to extract the pit and put on trays cup side up; get into the sulphur box as soon as possible after cutting. Peaches are dried both peeled and unpeeled, but drying without peeling is chiefly done. Peeling is done with the small paring machines or with a knife. Peeling with lye has been generally abandoned because of discoloration of the fruit after packing, although it can be successfully done by frequently changing the lye and using ample quantities of fresh water for rinsing after dipping. Clingstone peaches are successfully handled with curved knives and spoon-shaped pitters in conjunction with ordinary fruit knives. Different styles are carried at the general stores in the fruit districts, and individuals differ widely in their preferences. The weight of dried peaches which can be obtained from a certain weight of fresh fruit, depends upon the variety; some varieties yield at least a third more than others, and clings yield more than freestones as a rule. Dry-fleshed peaches, like the Muir, yield one pound dry from four or five pounds fresh, while other more juicy fruits may require six or seven pounds. _Nectarines._--Nectarines are handled like peaches; the production of translucent amber fruit in the sun depends upon the skillful use of sulphur."

[264] _Fruit Trees_, published in 1817 by William Coxe, is the first American pomology. Though written by an amateur, during most of his life a merchant, his work was done with so much care and exhibits such nice discrimination in selecting, describing and discussing varieties of fruits that until the later and more complete work of Andrew Jackson Downing and Charles Downing, Coxe's _Fruit Trees_, competing with several other manuals, was the standard pomological work of America. William Coxe was born in Philadelphia, May 3, 1762, and died near Burlington, New Jersey, February 25, 1831. He seems to have inherited wealth and with it scholarly habits and such refinement and charm of personality that in Philadelphia and later in Burlington, to which place he removed in early manhood, he was one of the leaders in literary, scientific and social circles. His tastes early led him to the cultivation of fruit and he began to grow the varieties then to be had in America and to import sorts from England and France so that by 1817 he was able to say that he had been "for many years actively engaged in the rearing, planting and cultivating fruit trees on a scale more extensive than has been attempted by any other individual in this country." Previous to this for some years, how long cannot be said, he was the moneyed partner with one Daniel Smith in what, for the times, was an extensive fruit-tree and ornamental nursery. Demands for information became so frequent that he determined to put his knowledge in print and his _Fruit Trees_ was the result. The objects he sought to obtain in writing are well set forth in the title page as follows: "A VIEW of the CULTIVATION of FRUIT TREES, and the Management of Orchards and Cider; with Accurate Descriptions of the Most Estimable Varieties of NATIVE AND FOREIGN APPLES, PEARS, PEACHES, PLUMS, AND CHERRIES, Cultivated in the Middle States of America; Illustrated by Cuts of two hundred kinds of Fruits of the natural size; Intended to Explain Some of the errors which exist relative to the origin, popular names, and character of many of our fruits; to identify them by accurate descriptions of their properties, and correct delineations of the full size and natural formation of each variety; and to exhibit a system of practice adapted to our climate, in the Successive Stages of A NURSERY, ORCHARD, AND CIDER ESTABLISHMENT." He was at one time a member of the State Legislature and later a Congressman intimately associated with Daniel Webster. He was, also, an honorary member of the Horticultural Society of London to which during many years he was a faithful correspondent. It was Coxe's privilege to see the very beginnings of commercial peach-growing in America and through his nursery, his orchard and his book he contributed much to American peach-culture. [265] Theodatus Timothy Lyon, fruit-grower, experimenter and writer, was for many years the leading pomological authority of his adopted State, Michigan. T. T. Lyon, as he always signed his name, was born in Lima, New York, January 13, 1813, and died in South Haven, Michigan, February 6, 1900. At the age of fifteen he moved with his parents to Michigan where until his thirty-first year, in 1844, he worked at most of the arts and crafts practiced by pioneers in a new country. In the year named, he began the career of horticulturist, by planting a nursery at Plymouth, Michigan. In the nearby regions French missionaries had early planted orchards and old settlers had long been importing varieties of fruit. The nomenclature of these fruits was in uttermost confusion. T. T. Lyon set himself the task of ascertaining the correct names of these varieties in the old settlements of the State. The result was he became the pomological authority of the State. In 1874 Mr. Lyon moved to the famous "_peach-belt_" of western Michigan, where he lived until his death. Here, at first, he was president of a prominent nursery company. In 1876 he was elected president of the State Horticultural Society and continued as its active president until 1891 and from then on until his death was honorary president. In 1888 T. T. Lyon wrote a _History of Michigan Horticulture_ which was published in the Seventeenth Report of the State Horticultural Society. From the beginning of his interests in horticulture in southwestern Michigan Mr. Lyon was particularly interested in peaches--growing seedlings, testing new varieties, planting orchards and in every way helping to forward the great peach-industry of the region. He was probably, in his time, the best informed, the most accurate and the most critical judge of peaches in this country. In 1889 he was given charge of the South Haven Sub-station of the Michigan Experiment Station which gave him added facilities for studying and describing fruits and a means of publishing, through his connection with the Experiment Station, bulletins on fruits. These, for accuracy of description of varieties, are still unsurpassed among American pomological publications. Besides these bulletins, the fruit-lists in the reports of the Michigan Horticultural Society and in the American Pomological Society, during the last half of the Nineteenth Century, show the results of his accurate judgment of fruits. A modest man, shrinking from publicity, his printed works but poorly represent his vast knowledge of fruits and his great influence in the betterment of American pomology.
