APPLES. 33 



Summer Hagloe. Size medium, roundish conic ; streaked with

 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

 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. Tree a slow
