disseminated by C. C. Engle of Paw Paw, is probably the true variety.
Half a century ago it was grown extensively in peach-sections but
inferior quality and small size of fruit condemn it. Several writers
have confused Honest John with Large York, George IV and Haines
but all of these are distinct. Tree large, vigorous; fruit large,
roundish-oval, compressed; apex roundish or slightly pointed; color
greenish-yellow changing to deep yellow, mottled and blushed with dull
carmine; fresh yellow, tinged with red near the pit, moderately juicy,
meaty yet tender, subacid, inferior in flavor; fair in quality; stone

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.
