 the best early (July and August)

Peter the Great is a synonym of this 

 Crimean apple, which is a hand-

 An abundant bearer. August. 



The White Juneating is small but 

 very good and prolific. In favoured 

 districts it is ripe early in July. 

 The Red Juneating, or Margaret, 

 is rather larger, and a good early 

 variety. Makes either a pyramid 

 or an orchard standard. 



Jacob's Strawberry is the name some- 

 times given to this valuable Sep- 

 tember apple, presumably from its 

 brightly-coloured and handsome 

 appearance. Best eaten from the 

 tree. But little pruning required. 



Of medium size, and good flavour ; 

 ripe in early September. An 

 abundant bearer upon either the 

 Paradise or Crab. 



A richly-flavoured, dark red, medium- 

 sized fruit that is produced abund-
