THE APPLE. ITS VARIETIES. 191 



This variety was introduced from St. Petersburg, by the London 

 Horticultural Society. 



348. SUMMER BROAD-END.— H. 



SvNONVMES. — &ummer Broadend, Lind. Guide, 24. Summer Colman, Lind. Plan. 

 Or. 1796. 



Fruit, above the middle size, about two inches and three quarters in 

 diameter, and two inches and a quarter deep ; slightly angular on the 

 sides. Eye, small, with a closed calyx, in a rather narrow basin, 

 surrounded by some angular plaits. Stalk, short, slender, deeply 

 inserted, not protruding beyond the base. Skin, dull yellowish-green, 

 tinged on the sunny side, with pale dull brown. Flesh, greenish-white, 

 not crisp. Juice, sub-acid, with a pretty good flavor. 



A culinary apple in use in October and November. This is an useful 

 Norfolk apple, and known in the markets by the above name. The 

 trees are rather small growers, but great bearers. — Lindley. 



I have never seen the Summer Broad-End, and have therefore here 

 introduced the description of Mi-. Lindley, for the benefit of those 

 under whose observation it may fall.

Fruit, below medium size, two inches and a quarter broad at the base, 



and two inches and a quarter 

 high ; ovate, flattened at the 

 ends. Skin, smooth and 

 shining, pale yellow, on the 

 shaded side ; but tinged 

 with orange and brownish- 

 red on the side next the sun, 

 and strewed over with 

 minute russety dots. Eye, 

 open, set in a wide, shallow, 

 and slightly plaited basin. 

 Stalk, thick, a quarter of an 

 inch long, completely im- 

 bedded in a moderately deep 

 cavity, which is lined with 

 russet. Flesh, yellowish, 

 firm, very juicy, with a rich, 



vinous, and sugary flavor. 



This is one of the most delicious summer apples, and ought to form 



one of every collection, however small. It is ripe in the end of August, 



and keeps about a fortnight.
