80 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



with a bluish bloom, deep shining crimson on the side next the sun, 

 but paler red on the shaded side, and strewed with numerous yellowish 

 dots. Eye, large and closed, with long segments set in a deep warted 

 and wrinkled basin. Stalk, slender, three quarters of an inch long, 

 inserted in a deep cavity, which is lined with thin brown russet. Fleshj 

 greenish white stained with red, not very juicy, tender, vinous, and 

 with a pleasant perfumed flavour. 



A culinary apple of second-rate quality, ripe during November and 

 December. The tree attains about the middle size, is vigorous and 

 healthy in its young state, and is a good bearer. It is well adapted for 

 growing as dwarfs on the paradise stock, and requires a rich and warm 

 soil. 



CALVILLE ROUGE DE MICOUD.— Fruit, below medium size ; 

 oblate, and ribbed on the sides. Skin, tough, and bitter tasted, red 

 all over, but of a deeper and darker colour on the side next the sun, 

 and streaked and spotted with paler red on the shaded side. Eye, 

 open, placed in a wide and deep basin. Stalk, long, inserted in a round 

 cavity. Flesh, yellowish, white, tender, and delicate, crisp, sweet, and 

 perfumed. 



This curious apple has the extraordinary property of producing 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 rarely fit for use. 



This variety was first brought into notice by M. Thouin, of Paris, who says the 

 tree originated on the farm of the Baroness de Micoud, near La Cfaarite sur lioiie, 

 in the department of Nifevre.
