Fox originated in New Jersey. The American Pomological Society listed the variety in its fruit-catalog in 1891 but dropped it in 1897, replacing it in 1899. Tree vigorous; glands globose; fruit medium in size, roundish, slightly compressed, with a small suture which extends nearly around the fruit; skin creamy-white, with a red blush; flesh white, red at the pit, free, melting, juicy, sweet, with a rich, vinous flavor; season the last of September.

There is doubt as to the place of origin of this peach. Most writers mention Ohio but a communication from Leon Sanders, Plain Dealing, Louisiana, states that the variety was found in that State by his father about 1895 and was introduced to the trade by L. T. Sanders and Son. Frances was added to the fruit-list of the American Pomological Society in 1909. Fruit large, roundish-oval, with a pronounced suture; apex prominent; skin yellow, washed and striped with bright red; flesh yellow, stained with red at the pit, melting, juicy, with a rich, vinous flavor; quality good; stone oval, free; season follows Elberta.
Frank. 1. Munson Cat. 14, Pl. 1915-16.

Fruit large, globular; skin yellow, covered with considerable rich red; clingstone; ripens two weeks after its parent.
