DONUT PEACH: There is a new peach just coming into production from California 
and Washington. Some people may remember the Chinese Flat Peach. 
The Donut Peach resembles the Flat Peach.. It's flat, with a sunken center. 
It has a wonderful yellow color with a red blush on the outside. And it is 
white flesh inside. Full of sugar and juice. It may be called a Donut Peach, 
but this won't put a lot of pounds on you. It may, however, get juice all 
down your arm. This is definitely a peach to roll up your sleeves with. Peak 
supplies from Washington will be in mid-July.  

Donut Peach 
A descendant of the flat peaches of China. First grown in America in the 
1800's. Up to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, it is flat, round, and drawn in at 
the center. The skin is pale yellow with a red blush. The pit (free-stone 
variety) is about the size of a pistachio nut. The flesh is white. Sweet 
peach flavor; very juicy.
