In your December number a correspondent reports an apple tree bearing forty-three bushels of apples in one year, and in your March number Mr. N. S. Piatt calls attention to a tree in Cheshire, Conn., of unusual size which had produced over one hundred bushels in one year. The writer of this remembers a tree standing on the farm of P. S. Dodge, Montgomery Co., Md., eleven miles north of Washington, D. C, that bore in the year 1859, one hundred and twenty bushels of apples. The fruit ripened in September, and was good for cooking and tolerably good eating when fully ripe. I did not know the variety and it was probably a seedling; the tree was of immense size with several branches as large as an ordinary apple tree. I also know another tree planted forty years ago on a part of the Munson Hill farm, now owned by Judge J. H. Gray, Falls Church, Va., that bore in one year seventy bushels of apples. This tree was the Newtown pippin, when planted, but twenty-five years ago the writer cut off the tops and grafted it to Tewksbury Winter Blush. This tree is still living, is in a healthy condition and bore last year, but not a full crop.
