296 A Note upon the Brabant Bellefleur Apple. 



If as a table Apple it cannot be said to rank in the very highest 

 class, for all purposes of the kitchen it stands unrivalled : it ripens in 

 November, and remains sound, firm and juicy till the end of April. 



The trees are very healthy, vigourous, and free bearers, flowering 

 late enough to be secured from the destructive spring frosts which 

 so often carry off the crop of Apples near London. 



The accompanying Plate is from the pencil of Mrs. Withers.
