96 APPLES. 



66. SUMMER SWEET PARADISE. . 



A Pennsylvania fruit, sent to us by J. B. Garber, Esq., a 

 zealous fruit-grower of Columbia, in that state. It is a large, 

 fair, sweet apple, and 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 yellow in the sun, and very distinctly marked with 

 numerous, large, dark, gray dots. Stalk strong, and set in an 

 even, moderately deep hollow. Flesh tender, crisp, very juicy, 

 with a sweet, rich, aromatic flavour. Ripe in August and Sep- 

 tember. 



67. SCARLET PEARMAIN. Thomp. Lind. 



Bell's Scarlet Pearmain. Ronalds. 

 Oxford Peach of some English gardens. 



A showy dessert apple, raised, according to Ronalds, by Mr. 

 Bell, land stewart at Sion House, the seat of the Duke of Nor- 

 thumberland, about the year 1800. 



Fruit medium sized, pearmain or conical shaped. Skin light 

 crimson, or yellow, in the shade, rich crimson on the sunny side ; 

 stalk nearly an inch long, deeply set. Calyx full and spreading, 

 in a deeply sunk basin, surrounded by a few plaits. Flesh 

 white, stained with a tinge of pink, crisp, juicy, and of good 

 flavour. In eating from the last of August to the tenth of Octo- 

 ber. A plentiful bearer. 



68. SEEK-NO-FURTHER. Coxe. 



Autumn Seek-no-further. Ken. 



This seems to be a favourite name in this country, and it is 

 difficult to say to what variety it should be exclusively applied. 

 The Seek-no-further of New-Jersey and Pennsylvania is the 

 Rambo, (see Rambo ;) that of some parts of New- York is the 

 American Domine, (see the latter.) The Seek-no-further of 

 Coxe is a large, roundish fruit, narrower at the eye. Skin 

 smooth, pale yellowish green, or nearly white ; the flesh yellow, 

 juicy, rich and tender. The trunk straight and tall, supporting 

 a regular well-formed head. Ripe in October, and will keep a 

 couple of months. 



The Westfield Seek-no-further is the Seek-no-further of Con- 

 necticut, and is an old and highly esteemed variety of that dis 

 trict. It has a Pearmain flavour,, and is much superior to the
