AMERICAN HOME GARDEN. 



6. SUMMER ROSE. 



Fig. 148. 



Tree of moderate growth and roundish form, bearing well. 



Fruit small, roundish, somewhat flattened, pale yellow, 

 blotched and striped with red on the sunny side. 



Flesh white, tender, and juicy. 



Flavor fine, pleasant subacid. Ripens early in August, and 

 continues for some time. 



In certain localities, where it may have been tested, the Be- 

 noni, which is an eastern apple of about the same size and 

 season as the Summer Rose, may be substituted for it. It is 

 a deep red fruit, of pleasant subacid flavor, and the tree grows 

 and bears well. 



7. WILLIAMS'S FAVORITE. 



Tree of medium vigor, and good bearer, but greatly benefited 

 by deep soil and high culture. 



Fruit of medium size, sometimes pretty large, oblong-ovate, 

 inclining to conical, almost covered with bright red stripes, 

 deepening to crimson in the sun ; a fruit of fine appearance. 



Flesh yellowish-white, moderately juicy and tender. 



Flavor mild, agreeable subacid. Ripe in August.
