Late Devonian. 1. Garden 53:35. 1898. 2. Bunyard-Thomas Fr. Gard. 113. 1904. 3. Bunyard Cat. Fr. Trees 36. 1913-14.
Raised by Messrs. Veitch, Exeter, England, from a pit of Belle de Vitry crossed with Royale; introduced in 1894. The tree is very hardy and the fruit is winning a place among the good, late varieties of England. Glands globose; flowers large, rich pink; fruit large; skin rather woolly, greenish-yellow, with bright red marblings; flesh juicy, pale red at the stone, melting, brisk; freestone; ripens the middle of September.
Late Elberta. 1. Kan. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 38. 1902-03. 2. Stark Bros. Cat. 35. 1914.
This variety on the Station grounds seems to be identical with Elberta in tree and fruit-characters.
Late Free White. 1. Am. Jour. Hort. 8:49. 1870.
This is a large, palatable peach, ripening about October 15th.
Late Mignonne. 1. Prince Pom. Man. 1:187. 1831.
Mignonne Tardive. 2. Mas Le Verger 7:79, 80, fig. 38. 1866-73.
The origin of Late Mignonne is doubtful; it is thought to be an American strain of Grosse Mignonne. Glands small, globose; flowers large; fruit large, roundish-truncate, noticeably sutured; skin tender, heavily pubescent, greenish-white, more or less covered with deep purple; flesh white, stained with purple around the pit, melting, sweet; stone small, ovoid, free; matures the first of September.
Late Morris White. 1. Thomas Guide Prat. 54. 1876. 2. Cal. Sta. Rpt. 393. 1895-97.
This peach differs from Morris White only in time of maturity, this sort being later. The fruit is large and of good quality, ripening in September.
