Apples
A large dessert apple, of second-rate quality. It is of a roundish
shape, striped with red, and comes into use in September. The tree is a
great bearer.--_H. S. C._ n. 268.
860. SUMMER HEDGING.
A small cider apple, of roundish shape, and red color.--_H. S. C._ n.
812.
861. SUMMER MARIGOLD.
It is a handsome fruit, and a great favorite in the West of England,
particularly in South Devon. Rather larger than the Golden Pippin, it
is of a fine light red, with deeper streaks of the same color, on the
sun side. The flesh is breaking, and the juice pleasant, and abundant.
It is a prolific bearer, and makes a fine orchard standard tree of
the third class, but will bear well in any way. Ripens in the end of
August. _Rog. Fr. Cult._ 31.
862. SUMMER QUEEN.
A medium sized American apple, of second-rate quality; suitable for
culinary purposes. It is of a roundish shape; skin, pale yellow on the
shaded side, and red striped towards the sun; ripe during August and
September.--_Down. Fr. Amer._ 77.
863. SUMMER ROSE.
SYNONYME.--Woolman’s Harvest.
A small apple, of second-rate quality, properly speaking a culinary
apple, but suitable also for dessert use; it is of an oblate shape,
yellow color, and ripe in August.--_Down. Fr. Amer._ 77.
An American variety.
864. SUMMER STIBBERT.
SYNONYMES.--Summer Queening, _of some_. Avant Tout Hâtive.
A large kitchen apple, of second-rate quality; of a conical shape,
yellow color, and ripe in August. The tree is a good bearer.--_H. S.
C._ p. 42.
865. SUMMER SWEET PARADISE.
A Pennsylvania fruit, sent to us by J. B. Garber, Esq., a zealous fruit
grower of Columbia, in that state. It is a large, fair, sweet apple,
and is certainly one of the finest of its class, for the dessert. The
tree is an abundant bearer, begins to bear while young, and is highly
deserving general cultivation. It has no affinity to the paradise apple
used for stocks.
Fruit, quite large, round and regular in its form, a little flattened
at both ends. Skin, rather thick, pale green, sometimes faintly tinged
with yellow in the sun, and very distinctly marked with numerous,
large, dark grey dots. Stalk, strong, set in an even and moderately
deep cavity. Flesh, tender, crisp, very juicy, with a sweet, rich,
aromatic flavor. Ripe in August and September.--_Down. Fr. Amer._ 96.
866. SUSSEX.
A medium sized dessert apple, of second-rate quality; of an oblate
shape, pale green color, with red towards the sun, and ripe in
November.--_H. S. C._ p. 42.
867. SUSSEX SCARLET PEARMAIN.
A medium sized dessert apple; of pearmain shape, red color; and in use
from December till March.--_H. S. C._ n. 560.
868. SWAAR.
