Description.
THe Peach-tree groweth not so great as the
Apricock-tree, yet spreadeth Branches
reasonable well, from whence spring smaller
reddish twigs, whereon are set long and nar∣row
green Leavs dented about the edges. The
Blosloms are greater than the Plum, and of a
light Purple colour. The Fruit round, and
somtimes as big as a reasonable Pippin, others
are smaller, as also differing in colours and
tasts, as russer, red, or yellow, waterish or
firm, with a frieze or Cotton all over, with a
cleft therein like an Apricock, and a rugged
surrowed great Stone within it, and a bitter
Kernel within the Stone: It sooner waxeth
old, and decayeth, than the Apricock, by
much.
