Swetts Harvest Apple
see Summer Queen No. 5.

[sketch of apple]

This is a very superior apple for the Season.  The
tree grows vigorously, the limbs are straggling,
and the fruit is generally produced at the extremities
of the boughs, two three & four in a cluster.  The fruit
is large, rather long than round, and is pointed towards
the blossom end, which is surrounded by ridges & furrows along stalk
The skin as it ripens assumes a beautiful streaked red
color mixed with a rich yellow ground and spots. It is rich, of
an aromatic taste, and very fine for stewing or eating.
It succeeds the Princes Harvest. Is a great bearer
and peculiarly suited for the market.  It continues till
the month of September in high perfection.
This is the same with the Summer
Queen from Wilmington. D. [Delaware] No. 5
