(French, 1808 - 1879) - Title
- For twenty years now I have sought to cross a Rennet apple with a Rosey apple. . . . this year I am finally successful. It has cost me 3,787 Francs in all for this green apple. . . . but it's be worth it, since it earned me a very honorable mention mention from the Central Society of Apple Culture! (Monsieur voilà vingt ans que je poursuis l'union de la reinette et de la pomme d'apis. . . . je suis enfin arrivé cette année à produire ce fruit vert qui me revient à trois mille sept cent quatre vingt sept francs. . . . mais qui me vaudra une mention bien honorable à la Société Centrale de Pommiculture!), number 41 from the series Pastorals (Pastorales)
