PLATE VI. 
1. MARGARET, or STRIPED JUNEATING. 
Is a little larger than the White Juneating, of an oblong shape, yellow ground riehly 
striped with full red: it is high flavoured, juicy and excellent, when fresh from the 
tree: the fruit is produced plentifully at the end of the branches, in clusters of four 
or five together: it is ripe about Midsummer. 
Blossom white w'ith a little rose colour. 
2. SUMMER OSLIN. 
Original or Mother Apple, so called in Scotland where it originated and has been a 
favourite many years, perhaps some centuries : it is under the middle size, perfectly 
spherical, of an unmixed straw colour; it is juicy, and has a peculiar spicy flavour : 
it bears abundantly in clusters. The tree is upright in its growth, and blossoms the 
first of all the apples,—this sometimes eauses the crop to fail: it is otherwise a great 
hearer. Ripens in July and August. 
Flowers pink and white. 
3. KERRY PIPPIN. 
Is of Irish origin, and perhaps altogether the best of our summer dessert apples ; a 
little larger than the Golden Pippin, of an oblong form ; a rich golden colour, faced 
wdth bright red; the stalk is small and prominent, and generally attended by a small 
protuberance; the flesh is firm, of a rich saccharine yet poignant flavour: in perfec¬ 
tion throughout September, October, and November. The tree grows freely, seldom 
cankers or blights, and bears plentifully, chiefly in dusters at the extremity of the 
branches. 
Blossoms pale pink and white. 
4. WHITE SUMMER PIPPIN. 
An early dessert apple, of middle size and globular shape ; of a straw colour, mottled 
and variegated with some russet and purple spots. The fruit is very tender and deli¬ 
cious if eaten ripe oft' the tree in August. It grows and bears well.
