861. SUMMER MARIGOLD. 



It is a handsome fruit, and a great favorile in the West of England, 

 particularly in South Devon. Rather larger than the Golden Pippin, 

 it is of a fine light red, with deeper streaks of the same color, on the 

 sun side. The flesh is breaking, and the juice pleasant, and abundant. 

 It is a prolific bearer, and makes a fine orchard standard tree of the 

 third class, but will bear well in any way. Ripens in the end of August,

 is certainly one of the finest of its class, for the dessert. The tree is an 

 abundant bearer, begins to bear while young, and is highly deserving 

 general cultivation. It has no affinity to the paradise apple used for 

 stocks. 



Fruit, quite large, round and regular in its form, a little flattened at 

 both ends. Skin, rather thick, pale green, sometimes faintly tinged with
