SYNONYME.--Bell Flower; Yellow Bellflower.
The Yellow Belle-Fleur, is a large, handsome, and excellent winter
apple, every where esteemed in the United States. It is most abundantly
seen in the markets of Philadelphia, as it thrives well in the sandy
soils of New Jersey. Coxe first described this fruit; the original tree
of which grew in Burlington, New Jersey. We follow Thompson in calling
it _Belle-Fleur_, from the beauty of the blossoms, with the class of
French apples, to which it belongs.
