Synonyms. Hagloe (7, 8, 11, 12, 13. 14, 15). Hagloe Crab (i, 2, 3), but 

 incorrectly. Summer Hagloe (4, 5, 6, 9, 10). Summer Plagloe (7). 



In 1817 Coxe gave the following description of this variety (i). "The 

 fruit, when fully ripe, has a yellow ground streaked with bright red — 

 the size about middling, the form round, flat at the ends ; the stalk large — 

 the flesh remarkably soft and woolly, but not dry — the taste acid, but highly 

 flavoured. * * * ripens in August and September ; keeps a long time 

 without rotting — it bears abundantly and early: the growth of the tree is 

 very uncommon; thick strong shoots; buds, particularly at the extremity of 

 the branches, very large ; the colour of the wood dark — the size of the tree 

 small : the Hagloe is an uncommonly fine cooking apple ; and from its great 

 beauty and large size, added to its abundant bearing, is a valuable market 

 fruit." 



The tree is not a very good grower but comes into bearing rather young 

 and yields moderate to good crops annually or nearly annually. The quality 

 of the fruit is such that it is valued chiefly for culinary use and market. It 

 is of good size and pretty uniform but the color is predominantly pale yellow 

 rather faintlv striped with red. It is not sufficiently attractive for a good 

 market sort. 



Historical. It is now held that Hagloe originated in America (14, 15). 

 Coxe and some later writers confused this , A^ariety with the English cider 

 fruit known as Hagloe Crab but eventually this error was discovered (4) 

 and the name Summer Hagloe came to be commonly accepted among pomol- 

 ogists for this variety, under which name it was listed by the American 

 Pomological Society in 1862 (10). In 1899 the name was changed to Hag- 

 loe (14) in the catalogue of the American Pomological Society. This variety 

 is but little known in New York.
