Margaret, or Striped Juneating. Ronalds. 

 Early Ked Juneating. Striped Juneating. 



Eed Juneating. Eve Apple of the Irish. 



Margaretha Apfel, oi the Germans. 



An excellent early apple, ripening about the middle of July, 

 or directly after the Early Harvest. The tree while young is 

 rather slender, with upright woolly shoots. It is a moderate 

 bearer. 



Fruit below 

 medium size, 



roundish-ovate, 

 tapering towards 

 the eye. Skin 

 greenish yellow, 

 pretty well cover- 

 ed by stripes of 

 dark red. Stalk 

 short and thick. 

 Calyx closed, and 

 placed in a very 

 shallow plaited 

 basin. Flesh 



white, sub-acid, 

 and when freshly 

 gathered from the 

 tree, of a rich 

 agreeable flavour. 



This is distinct from the Margaret Apple of Miller, the Red 

 Juneating of some of our gardens, which resembles it, but is 

 round, with a short slender stalk, and dull yellow skin striped 

 with orange red on one side, the fruit fragrant and the leaves 

 very downy. 



Equinetely. 



Ne Plus Ultra. Sol. Carter. 



A beautiful fruit of southern origin. Specimens received from 

 Wm. N. White, Athens, and J. Van Beuren, Clarksville, Ga. 

 Fruit very large, oblate, angular, or furrowed. Skin yellowish, 

 mostly shaded with deep crimson, and thickly sprinkled with 

 large, lightish dots. Stalk very short, inserted in a very large 

 cavity, surrounded by russet. Calyx open, in a broad, deep, 

 corrugated basin, which has a downy lining. Flesh yellowish, 

 fine grained, for a large apple, very tender, very juicy, almost 

 melting with a very refreshing vinous flavour ; an excellent fruit. 

 October, November. (See note, p. 1*75.)
