One polyanth-stalk produced 47 pips or blossoms.  Mrs Edmund White brought to bed of a boy, who has encreased the number of my nephews & nieces to 56.  The bloom of apples is great: the white pippin, as usual, very full.  It is a most useful tree, & always bears fruit.  The dearling in the meadow is loaded with fruit :last year it produced only one peck of apples, the year before 14 bushels.  [*later note]  This year it bore 10 bush. of small fruit.  The white pippin produced a good crop again this year: the apples of this tree come in for scalding, & pies in August.
