Bokhara. 1. Ia. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 377. 1896. 2. Ibid. 256. 1897. 3. Mich. Sta. Bul. 187:68. 1901. 4. Am. Pom. Soc. Cat. 36. 1909.
Bokhara is remarkable for great hardiness but has little else to recommend it. It was introduced by the late J. L. Budd from pits received from Bokhara, Russia, about 1890 and in 1909 was added to the fruit-list of the American Pomological Society. Several distinct peaches are grown under this name, probably all from the pits planted by Professor Budd. As Bokhara grows on the Station grounds the leaves are large; glands reniform; flowers appear in mid-season, medium in size, pink; fruit of medium size, oblong-oval, bulged near the apex making the halves unequal; suture shallow; apex with a prolonged tip; skin thin, tender, with a thick, short pubescence, greenish-yellow, pale, faintly blushed and striped with dull red; flesh greenish-white, stringy, mealy, sweet; quality poor; stone oval, narrow, conspicuously winged; ripens late in August.
