THE FLORIST. 



Striped Quarrenden, Summer Traveller, Early Striped 

 Juneating, Eve Apple (of Ireland). 



The fruit is rather small, of a roundish-ovate figure, narrowing a 

 little towards the crown. Skin greenish yellow, nearly covered and 

 striped with dark red when fully exposed to the sun. Eye small, 

 slightly sunk, and nearly closed by the calyx. Stalk short and 

 thick, scarcely protruding from the base of the fruit. Flesh white, 

 juicy, and perfumed, rich and high flavoured. A dessert Apple, 

 ripening about the middle of August, and should be used as gathered 

 from the tree. 



This Apple is well adapted for small gardens, on account of its 

 bushy habit and moderate growth. It is not an abundant bearer, but 

 owing to its earliness, beauty, and high flavour, it may be considered 

 the best of the early kinds. 



The Margaret of Miller is quite a distinct sort. Although a good 

 earlv Apple, it is much inferior to the above.

 Russia.

 red on the exposed side. Stalk three-fourths of an inch long, in-

 Flesh white, crisp, very juicy, and possessing an agreeable subacid 

 flavour. Ripens from the middle to the end of August.
