PEACHES
[ Also see Fruits Trees ]

A little peach in an orchard grew,--
  A little peach of emerald hue;
    Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew
      It grew.
      - Eugene Field, The Little Peach

As touching peaches in general, the very name in Latine whereby they are called Persica, doth evidently show that they were brought out of Persia first.
      - Pliny the Elder (Caius Plinius Secundus),
        Natural History (bk. XV, ch. 13),
        (Holland's translation)

The ripest peach is the highest on the tree.
      - James Whitcomb Riley, The Ripest Peach
