9. EARLY WOOLMAN. 



Woolman's Harvest. Summer Rose. 



Fruit rather less than the medium size, roundish, circular. Calyx closed, and surrounded 

 by an even depression. Stem slender, short. Color waxen yellow, blazed with carmine 

 on the sunny side. 

 August. A valuable apple, and recommended by our distinguished pomologist David 



Thomas. 



10. COLE (Thompson, Lindley). 

 Scarlet Perfume. 

 Fruit of a medium size, roundish, slightly angular and depressed, red or crimson, upon a 

 yellow ground. Stem long, woolly, and set in a very narrow cavity. Calyx large and 

 enclosed in a wide depression. Flesh white, firm, juicy. Taste agreeable, and accompa- 

 nied with a rich flavor. August. 



11. EARLY STRAWBERRY (Downing). 



American Red Juneating. 



Fig. 4. 



Fruit rather below the medium size, roundish : 

 crown much narrower than the base, circu- 

 lar. Stem very long, set in a regular and 

 rather shallow depression. Calyx rather 

 small, and surrounded by a shallow de- 

 pression. Color red, and ornamented with 

 crimson stripes. Flesh white and tinged red 

 next the skin, tender, subacid, lively with 

 a spirited aroma. 

 This apple is common in our markets, and 



is probably the best of the early ones. It is 



ripe by the middle of July.

 tween it and the middle, circular. Stem short, thick, and set in a rather deep depression.
