This peach may have originated in Texas as a seedling of Chinese Cling. Some authorities, however, say that it originated with Judge Campbell, Pensacola, Florida, from a peach-pit brought from Japan in 1860 by William A. Spottswood, a Fleet Surgeon in the United States Navy. It is supposed to have been introduced by P. J. Berckmans, Augusta, Georgia, about 1868. Fruit of medium size, roundish-oblate, inclined to conic; suture distinct; color creamy-yellow, with a faint crimson blush and many red dots; flesh white, red at the pit, firm, juicy, rich, with a pleasant, subacid flavor; stone large, clinging; season early.
