This curious apple has the extraordinary property of producing 

 three crops of fruit in one season. The first llowers appear at the 

 usual time iu April, the second in June, and then for a time it ceases 

 to pruduiv any more till the month of August, when it again blooms 

 during the whole of that mouth, September, October, and November, 

 until it is checked by the severity of the frosts. The first fruit is 

 generally ripe during August ; the second in October, which are about 

 the size of a pigeon's egg, ami quite as good as the first. And so on it 

 continues until retarded by the frosts ; but those last produced are rarely 

 fit for

 tree originated on the farm ot the Baroness de'Alicoud, near La Charite sur Loire, 

 in the department of Nicvre.
