According to Leroy, Admirable was first mentioned by Lectier in 1628, probably having originated in France many years previous. Although not an extremely early peach it was long called Early Admirable to distinguish it from Late Admirable. The American Pomological Society listed Admirable in its fruit list in 1877 but dropped it in 1897. Tree productive; flowers small; glands globose; fruit of medium size, roundish, pale yellowish-white, with a lively red cheek; flesh white, red next the pit from which it readily separates, melting, juicy, with a good, rich, sweet flavor; ripens the first of September or later.
Admirable Jaune. 1. Noisette Man. Comp. Jard. 2:478. 1860.
This variety should not be confused with Yellow Admirable described elsewhere. Variations in the size of the flowers cause writers to list more than one sort under this name. The peach listed here has medium-sized flowers and globose glands.
