Gathered-in the apples called dearlings, which keep well, & are valuable kitchen apples.  My only tree of the sort stands in the meadow, & produced ten bushels of fruit.  Apples this year have sold at 8s per bushel: so had the price continued the produce would be worth four pounds.  Next year probably there will be no crop; because I do not remember to have seen this tree bear two years following.
