Kevised List of varieties of apples recommended for the province of Ontario between 

 latitudes 45° and 46° and along the north side of the St. Lawrence river in 

 the province of Quebec to about Three Rivers (District Xo. 7, Bulletin oT.^i 



Owing to the winter killing of some varieties of apples last winter, which were 

 previously thought to be hardy, it is necessary to revise the list of apples recommended 

 for this district. The only important changes which occur, however, are in the winter 

 varieties. 



Summer. — Yellow Transparent, Duchess of Oldenburg. 

 Autumn. — St. Lawrence, Wealthy, Alexander. 

 Early Winter. — Mcintosh Red, Fameuse. 



Winter. — Scott's Winter, Milwaukee, Xorth Western Greening, Canada Baldwin, 

 and Golden Russet in the more favoiu-ed localities. 

 Additional varieties suggested for home use: — 

 Summer. — Lowland Raspberry, Early Joe, Russell, Dyer. 

 Winter. — Swavzie Pomme Grise, Grimes Golden. 



A CLOSE-PLAXTED WEALTHY ORCHARD. 



In the Annual Report for 1002, an account was given of a close-planted orchard 

 of Wealthy apple trees. The receipts and expenses in connection with this orchard, 

 from the time the trees were planted until the autumn of 1902, were published in that 

 report. It was shown that from a little less than one-third of an acre of trees planted 

 10 by 10 feet apart in the spring of 189G the receipts had been $307.01, or at the rate 

 of $940.15 per acre, and the exi^euses per acre $454. G2, leaving the net receipts per 

 acre $485.53. The trees began bearing well in 1S99 and the receipts represent the 

 money obtained for the fruit for four years' crops. These net receipts meant an aver- 

 age per year of fruiting of $121.38 per acre. There are 131 trees in this orchard left 

 out of an original number of 144.
