SUMMER SWEET PARADISE. 



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

 zealous frnit-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. 



Fruit quite large, round and regular in its form, a little flat- 

 tened at both ends. Skin rather thick, pale green, sometimes 

 faintly tinged with yellow in the sun, and very distinctly marked 

 with numerous, large, dark grey 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 September.
