APPLES. 103 



NO. 5. PARADISE APPLK. 



This is a dwarf, or rather a shrub; it is much used 

 for stocks to ingraft for Espaliers, when it produces ve- 

 ry large fruit the usuaFmode of propagating it, is by 

 suckers, which frequently bear the second year after 

 transplantation the fruit is rather small, of a yellow 

 colour, and a sweet and pleasant taste ; it ripens the 

 latter part of July : if not kept trimmed, like a currant 

 bush, it shoots out large suckers, which will exhaust 

 the principal stock, and produce fruit of a diminutive 

 size. 



NO. 6. SUMMER ROSE. 



This is an apple of singular beauty and excellence, 

 both for eating and stewing: the size is moderate, the 

 form flat, the skin smooth, of a beautiful yellow re- 

 sembling wax, blended with red in streaks and blotch- 

 es ; the flesh is sweet, sprightly and juicy; it does not 

 become fully ripe till August, but is an excellent stew- 

 ing apple in July, and is brought to market for that 

 purpose, under the name of the Harvest apple : the 

 tree is of a spreading form, giving a good exposure to 

 the sun, and is very frukful.
