The Summer Strawberry, —Ripens in September, and is a showy, rather 
small apple, striped yellow and red, with a brisk and pleasant flavonr. , 
Stamford Pippin. —A good-sized apple of a yellow and orange colour, 
with a sweet pleasant flavour, a first-rate dessert apple, in season from 
December to March, and also one of the finest apples for choice pies 
and puddings. 
Small’s Admirable. —Above medium size, of a bright yellow colour, 
flesh yellow, sweet, with a dash of acid that gives it a pleasing relish; 
one of the finest dessert apples, also admirable for cooking through the 
winter months of November and December. 
In the case of dessert apples a greater variety may be desirable, and we 
shall therefore briefly describe another two dozen good dessert apples, 
swelling our list to sixty sorts. No doubt beyond this there are many 
other apples almost equally worth growing. But we hope at least that 
those who select from or grow these sixty will not be disappointed. 
Early Julien. —A pretty medium-sized excellent early variety. Flesh, 
crisp and juicy, yellowish, white with a brisk aromatic flavour. August. 
Dutch Mignonne. —Fruit rather large, handsome orange colour; one 
of the finest and most prolific varieties. December to April. 
Golden Harvey or Brandy Apple. —Fruit small russety, flesh compact, 
firm, rich, and highly aromatic. This is a valuable little apple for 
dessert, and also for stewing in syrup, to be served as a sweet. The 
solidity of its flesh enables it to keep its form when treated in this way. 
BraddicTc’s Nonpareil. —Medium-sized, Jgreen ground colour, brownish 
next the sun, yellow flesh, rich and sweet. December to March. 
Holbert’s Victoria. —A small fruit of excellent quality ; flesh yellow, 
juicy, rich, and vinous. December and May. 
Joa/nneting or White Juneating. — The earliest of all dessert apples, 
coming in at the end of August; is generally liked for its crisp and 
pleasant flavour. It should, however, be eaten off the tree, as it soon 
becomes mealy when gathered. 
Melon Apple.—A fine large fruit, with soft, juicy, and rich flesh. 
February. 
Sykehouse Russet. —A very useful apple. The flesh is richly flavoured, 
of a greenish yellow colour. In season from December to January. 
Golden Nonpareil. —Rather smaller than the old Nonpareil; flesh fine, 
rich, and sugary, and of the highest flavour. 
Lodgemore Nonpareil. —Medium size ; deep yellow, with a blush of red 
on one side ; flavour rich; flesh juicy, crisp, and firm ; one of the finest 
as well as latest of its class. February to June. 
Tunstall Green-street. —Medium size, deep golden in colour, red striped 
where exposed to the sun, flesh firm, juicy and rich, the flavour resembling
