YELLOW BELLFLOWER. 



Yellow liKLLFL(j\vHK. 



{Bislid/i's Pippin of Nitra Scotia. ) 



At one ti me the Bell- 

 flower was planted to 

 some extent in Ontario 

 orciiards, but the tree 

 has proved itself irregu- 

 lar in its bearing habits, 

 sometimes producing 

 magnificent samples, 

 and at other times small 

 and poorly colored fruit, 

 and the fruit is tender 

 and shows very slight 

 bruises, so that we can- 

 not recommend it as 

 worthy of a place among 

 the most profitable 

 varieties. 



Origin : Burlington, 

 N. J. 



Tree: vigorous, 

 forming a lonndish, 

 spreadiiigand somewhat 

 drooping head ; produc-
