American Summer Pearmain. 



This delicious apple is supposed to be of American 

 origin. It is essentially a fruit for the amateur ; being of 

 slender and slow growth in the nursery, it iS not a favorite 

 with the propagators, and though making a large and pro- 

 ductive tree in the orchard, it is not profitable as a market 

 variety.
