SUMMER APPLES. 141 



SOPS OF WINE. Medium size, round-ovate, dark red ; stalk 

 long, slender; flesh white, often stained red, moderately 

 juicy, sub-acid, of good flavor. Valuable for its free 

 growth and fair fruit. Late summer. The Sapson is 

 smaller, firmer in flesh, and less valuable. 



Summer Hagloe. Size medium, roundish-oblate ; streaked 

 with bright red on yellow ground; stalk rather short and 

 thick ; flesh very soft, rich, of fine quality. Ripens at the 

 end of summer an excellent culinary variety. Shoots 

 dark, strong, thick ; terminal buds very large. 



This is wholly distinct from the Hagloe Crab, a late, small, 

 ill-shaped, ovate fruit, cultivated only for cider. 



Summer Queen. Rather large, roundish-conical, somewhat 

 ribbed ; striped with bright red on rich yellow ground ; 

 stalk an inch and a half long; cavity small, acute; basin 

 small, furrowed; flesh yellowish, rather acid, spicy, very 

 rich. Fine for cooking. Late summer. Good on warm, 

 sandy soils, poor on cold clay. Shoots light colored, leaves 

 finely crenate. 



The Early Pennock, of Ohio, resembles the Summer 

 Queen, but is much larger, and inferior in quality. 



Summer Rambour. (Sy?i. Rambour d'Et', Rambour Franc.) 

 Medium or large oblate, pale greenish yellow, slightly 

 streaked with red ; stalk short ; calyx large, deep set ; 

 slightly sub-acid, good. Middle to late summer. Good 

 bearer. Dry, if over-ripe. May prove the Oldenburgh. 



SUMMER ROSE. (Syn. Woolman's Early, Woolman's Striped 

 Harvest.) Medium or rather small, roundish-oblate , 

 yellowish, blotched and streaked with red ; stalk rather 

 short ; basin round, slightly plaited ; flesh very tender, 

 slightly crisp, texture fine, mild sub-acid, juicy, excellent. 

 Begins to ripen with wheat harvest, and continues a 

 month. Fine in all localities. Better in quality for the 

 table than Early Harvest, but less productive. Fig. 107. 



Tetofsky. Size medium ; roundish, or round-oblong ; hand- 

 somely striped red on yellow ground ; flesh white, juicy, 

 sub-acid, good second rate. End of summer. Russian.
