It is very doubtful if the variety here described as Royal George is the original variety. According to Hogg the first mention of Royal George is by Switzer who said, in 1724, that it was raised by a Mr. Oram, Brompton Lane, England. At this time George the First was on the throne and, no doubt, the peach was named for him. The variety became popular but was difficult to propagate since it united with peach stocks very poorly. Hence, nurserymen substituted Millet's Mignonne, a new sort at that time which had been introduced by a Mr. Millet, North End, Fulham, England. The original Royal George was probably a seedling of Grosse Mignonne and but little different from that variety in many characters. The long list of synonyms given Royal George by writers attests the length of time this name has been extant and the confusion surrounding its identity. Flowers small; leaves serrate, without glands; fruit large, round, somewhat depressed, with a moderately deep suture; skin very pale yellowish-white, sprinkled with many red dots and marbled with deep red; flesh pale yellowish-white, very red at the stone from which it separates, very juicy, melting, rich and highly flavored; usually ripens the first of September.

=Royal George Clingstone.= =1.= Prince _Pom. Man._ =2=:20. 1832.

Sanguine made its appearance in France early in the Seventeenth Century, being first described by Claude Sainte-Etienne. The Chartreux Monks, about 1704, gave this variety the name Cardinal de Furstemberg. Unfortunately this name was also given to Cardinale causing much confusion. Sanguine differs from the Sanguinole in ripening earlier and in having smaller flowers. Glands reniform; flowers of medium size, intensely rose-colored; fruit large, roundish-oblate, faintly sutured; skin orange-yellow, nearly entirely overlaid with deep carmine; flesh firm, fibrous, flesh-colored, with deeper streaks of red, juicy, rather acid; stone plump, ovoid, free; ripens early in September or the last of August.
