[Syn : Yellow Harvest; Prince s Harvest ; Prince s Early Harvest ; Prince s Yellow 
Harvest; Large White J uneating; July Pippin ; July Early Pippin ; Tart Bough ; Early French 
Reinette ; Pomme d ’ Etc of Canada .] 
An American apple, dating probably from the commencement of the present century. It 
is found to succeed perfectly in this climate. 
Description. —Fruit: round, of medium size, two inches and three quarters wide, and two 
inches and a quarter high. Skin : smooth and shining, pale yellowish green at first, but changing to 
clear, pale, waxen yellow, as it ripens, with a faint blush of red next the sun, with embedded 
whitq specks, particularly round the eye. Eye : small and slightly closed, set in a round and shallow 
basin. Stalk : half an inch long, inserted in a rather shallow, somewhat rusetty, cavity. Flesh : 
white, tender, crisp and juicy, with a sprightly and pleasant subacid flavour. 
An excellent and refreshing early dessert apple of the first quality. It ripens at the end of 
July or the beginning of August. Its clear yellow colour makes it contrast well with the red colour 
of most early apples. It must be eaten soon after gathering to have it in perfection. 
The tree is healthy, a free, but not a vigorous grower. It is not liable to canker, and bears 
abundantly. It is well adapted for dwarf or espalier training, when grown on the paradise stock, 
and should have a place in every garden. It also succeeds well as a standard on the crab stock, 
which is the most profitable form of growing it for market purposes.
