Rambour d'Eté (from St Cloud)

[sketch of apple]      1815

1815

The Rambour d'Eté - Summer Rambour and Rambour
franc are I believe the same fruit as described in
the l'Abbé Rozier Cours d'Agriculture 8 Vo., p. 232. plate XXIV.
The apple is large flat, stalk of medium length in a pretty deep
cavity, large eye. The skin smooth streaked with red on a yellow
ground, flesh sprightly, juicy and rich, fit for cooking. It ripens
in the end of August and beginning of September and will
not last long.  The tree grows vigorously and of a spreading
form, with luxuriant foliage. 
Imported from St Cloud by Mr Dupont. W [illegible]
