=44=:38, 39. 1910.
Confusion has arisen over two seedlings put out by J. D. Husted,
Lowell, Michigan, as Husted No. 15 and 16. 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

=2.= _Am. Pom. Soc. Cat._ 78. 1862.
This freestone should not be confused with the other Newingtons which
are all clings and usually later in season. One characteristic of this
variety is that fruits on the same tree are free or adhere partially
or wholly to the stone. Tree a moderate bearer; glands reniform;
flowers small; fruit large, round, distinctly sutured; skin pale
yellowish-white, with a rich red cheek; flesh white, tinged at the
stone, juicy, melting, vinous; ripens late in August.

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.

a medium-sized, round, rosy-red fruit, with firm flesh, ripening June
25th; freestone.
=Early Rose III.= =1.= W. P. Stark _Cat._ 49, 50 fig. 1915.
Early Rose III, according to W. 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

The numerous synonyms for this variety are an evidence of the esteem in
which it was long held. It undoubtedly originated in France; according
to Leroy it was mentioned by Merlet in 1667. During the reign of
George the Third, Grimwood, of the Kensington Nursery, sent it out as
Grimwood's Royal George. A Mr. Lee of Hammersmith, England, called it
Early Vineyard; Shailer, of Chelsea, Superb Royal; Forsyth, a royal
gardener at Kensington in 1784, called it Royal Kensington. Lindley
described the same variety under several different names, apparently
believing them to be distinct. At the first meeting of the American
Pomological Society, in 1848, Grosse Mignonne was placed on the list
of recommended fruits, a place it held until 1899 when it was dropped.
