APPLES. XI 



sweet and tender ; it is a good bearer, and deserves 

 extensive cultivation. Ripe in August. 



[No. 2 is decidedly the finest early sweet apple of its season, 

 It is called, in some parts of New England, " Washington."] 



No. 3. American Red Juneating. This apple 

 is of medium size, oblong ; the skin is a beautiful 

 red, slightly streaked and mixed with yellow ; the 

 flesh is rich, sprightly and good ; the tree is of up- 

 right growth ; it bears well and ripens in August. 

 Although it bears the name of American Red June- 

 ating, we have strong doubts of its having origina- 

 ted in this country ; we think it may be the striped 

 Juneating of Ronald. 



No. 4. Summer Queen. A large oblong apple, 

 striped with red on a yellow ground ; the flesh is 

 yellow, very high flavored, and excellent. The tree 

 is of vigorous growth, and a great bearer. Ripe in 

 August, 



No. 5. Early Red Margaret. A middle sized 

 apple ; the shape round, somewhat flat ; the skin a 

 greenish yellow, striped with dark red; the flesh 

 white, juicy, and agreeable ; it bears early and 

 abundantly. Ripe the middle of August. 



No. 6. Summer Rose. A very beautiful and 

 excellent fruit ; the size is moderate, the form round, 

 the skin yellow, striped, and mottled with red ; the 

 flesh is sweet, juicy, and fine. Ripe in August. A 

 great bearer.
