PLATE I. 
1. SACK AND SUGAR. 
Is a dessert apple, below the middle size of apples in general, somewhat pursed 
about the eye, of a whitish colour, an agreeable flavour, and very juicy. It is in per¬ 
fection from the middle to the end of July. The fruit when ripe is so very tender as 
to require great care in gathering and carrying, to prevent its being bruised. 
The tree is of free and spreading growth, and frequently bears so profusely as to 
weaken and render it unfruitful the next year. This sort is seldom attacked with 
that most injurious disease, the canker. 
2. La FAMEUSE, or POMME de NEIGE. 
Introduced about the year 1794 from Canada, by the late Alexander Barclay, Esq., 
of Brompton. It is a very beautiful fruit, rather below the medium size, of a globular 
form, glossy and deep red next the sun; is remarkable for the whiteness of its flesh, 
which is very juicy and well flavoured. It is ripe in September and October, but will 
keep till near Christmas. 
I received cuttings of this sort in 1820, through Mr. Braddick, from America, under 
the name of American Nonpareil, which when grafted bore fine fruit the same year. 
It is a spreading tree, and sometimes cankers. Blossoms pink and white. 
3. WHITE JUNEATING. 
This first in Pomona’s never-ending train, is so old a sort as to be included in Evelyn’s 
“ List of Fruits,” published about the j^ear 1660 : is ripe in July; and in forward sea¬ 
sons as early as June ^ it is a smallish globular apple, of an uniform straw colour, 
has a juicy and pleasant flavour if eaten within a few days after gathering, but soon 
grows mealy and insipid. 
The tree is of upright and rather slender growth, but seldom cankers.
