SUMMER APPLES. 71 



4. COLE. Thomp. Lind. Ron. 

 Scarlet Perfume. 



A variety from England of second quality, but admired for 

 its beauty of appearance. 



Fruit large, roundish, somewhat flattened and slightly angu- 

 lar. Skin nearly covered with deep crimson on a yellowish 

 ground, or sometimes entirely red, with a little russet. Stalk 

 long, woolly, planted in a cavity which is sometimes nearly 

 closed up. Calyx large, in a broad basin. Flesh white, rather 

 firm, juicy, with a somewhat rich and agreeable flavour. Au- 

 gust. 



5. DEVONSHIRE QTJARRENDEN. Thorn. P. Mag. Fors. 



Red Quarrenden. Lind. 

 Sack Apple. 



A handsome English dessert fruit. The editor of the Pomo- 

 logical Magazine says, " there is no better autumn dessert ap- 

 ple ;" but after giving it a trial for several years by the side of the 

 Williams' Favourite, we consider the latter greatly superiour in 

 flavour, and equally beautiful. Fruit scarcely of medium size, 

 roundish, flattened, and slightly narrowed at the eye. Stalk 

 short, deeply planted. Calyx with long segments, scarcely sunk in 

 a very shallow plaited basin. Skin rich deep crimson, with lighter 

 crimson, and occasionally a spot of green on the shaded side, 

 sprinkled with numerous green dots. Flesh nearly white, crisp, 

 juicy, with a pleasant sub-acid flavour. Ripe during all August 

 and September. 



6. DRAP D'OR. Coxe. Thomp. Ron. 



Vrai Drap d'Or. O. Duh. 



Early Summer pippin, of some New-York gardens. 



Bay Apple \ ac. to 



Bonne de Mai \ Thomp. 



This large, handsome, and excellent summer apple is highly 

 deserving general cultivation. It is better (though incorrectly) 

 known on the Hudson as the Summer Pippin, but it is very dis- 

 tinct from the apple known by that name in New- Jersey, which 

 is the Holland pippin. It is also a very different fruit from the 

 Drap d'Or of Lindley, and of Noisette, and most French au- 

 thors, which is quite a small apple ; but it is the Vrai Drap d'Or 

 of the old Duhamel, pi. xii. Fig. 4. 



Fruit large, roundish, sometimes a little oblong, narrowing 

 slightly to the eye. Skin smooth, yellow or dead gold colour, 

 with distinct small brown dots, or specks. Stalk short, mode-
