an agreeably ſweet taſle, and of a gluey nature.
The ſugar apple is a ſingular fruit, about the ſize of a middling-ſized Engliſh apple, but in appearance differs from any fruit of that name, as it does alſo in quality. The rind of it is croſſed in diviſions, the ſhape of diamonds in a card, which are conſiderably raiſed above the furrows between each, and ſtand in regular rows. The outſide is of a pale green colour, the inſide has a great number of hard, black ſeeds, which are nearly as big as peas, and are covered with a moiſt, gritty pulp, which has the taſle of ſugar; and it is reckoned very wholeſome.
The cuſtard apple is of much the ſame nature with the former, only the ſkin of it is ſmooth, of a ruſt colour, and the inſide pulp leſs gritty, reſembling in taſte a cuſtard, after which it is called.
