* The seed of this variety is the result of six years selection by Mr. W. T. Macoun, Horticulturist, 

 Experimental Farm, Ottawa, who saved seed from only the earliest and smoothest samples of fruit. The 

 fruit raised from this seed was smoother and, as will be seen above, ripened 12 days earlier than that 

 grown from seed of the same variety obtained commercially, thus showing the advantages of careful 

 and rightly directed selection.
