THE APPLE. 
195 
Summer Sweet Paradise. 
A Pennsylvania fruit, sent to us by J. B. Garber, Esq., a 
zealous fruit-grower of Columbia, in that State. It is a large, 
fair, sweet apple, and is certainly one of the finest of its class 
for the dessert. The tree is an abundant bearer. 
Fruit quite large, round and regular in its form, a little flat- 
tened at both ends. Skin rather thick, pale green, sometimes 
faintly tinged with yellow in the sun, and very distinctly marked 
with numerous, large, dark grey dots. Stalk strong, and set in 
an even, moderately deep hollow. Flesh tender, crisp, very 
juicy, with a sweet, rich, aromatic flavour. Ripe in August 
and September.

and Westchester counties, N. Y., a valuable market fruit. Tree 
vigorous, forming a beautiful head, a regular and good bearer. 
Fruit medium to large, variable in form, generally oblong oval 
or inclining to conic, angular and irregular. Skin pale waxen
