 Pearmain.

 strewed with redish-brown dots, and a few faint streaks of pale red on 

 the shaded side ; and of a beautiful deep red, covered with yellowish- 

 grey dots, on the side next the sun. Eye, open, with broad reflexed 

 segments, set in a round and moderately deep basin. Stalk, short, 

 inserted in a round and deep cavity, lined with rough russet, which 

 extends in ramifications over the base. Flesh, yellowish, tender, and

Fruit, below medium size, two inches and a quarter wide, and an 

 inch and three quarters high ; roundish, inclining to oval, with promi- 

 nent ridges round the eye. Skin, pale yellow. Eye, large, and open with 

 erect segments, and rather deeply placed in a round, wide, and angular 

 basin. Flesh, white, soft, tender, very juicy, sugary, and pleasantly 

 flavored. 



A good early apple, either for culinary purposes or the dessert ; ripe 

 in the end of July and beginning of August, and continuing during 

 September. 



The tree is a free and vigorous grower, and an immense bearer, so 

 much so, as to be injurious to the crop of the following year. 



This apple was raised nearly half a century ago, by Mr. Morris, a 

 market gardener, at Brentford, and is sometimes met with under the 

 name of Morris's Sack and Sugar.
