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.

Sanguine made its appearance in France early in the Seventeenth
Century, being first described by Claude Sainte-Etienne. The Chartreux
Monks, about 1704, gave this variety the name Cardinal de Furstemberg.
Unfortunately this name was also given to Cardinale causing much
confusion. Sanguine differs from the Sanguinole in ripening earlier and
in having smaller flowers. Glands reniform; flowers of medium size,
intensely rose-colored; fruit large, roundish-oblate, faintly sutured;
skin orange-yellow, nearly entirely overlaid with deep carmine; flesh
firm, fibrous, flesh-colored, with deeper streaks of red, juicy, rather
acid; stone plump, ovoid, free; ripens early in September or the last
