Many of the apples above described as in season dviring November and December, 

 while fit for the table at that time, are evidently good keepers, and some will no doubt 

 prove valuable as kte varieties on further test. 



Many of the trees planted in the older orchards having fruited for a number of 

 years, and their relative value pretty well tested, have been removed. In some cases 

 the varieties were poor in quality, in others the trees were unthrifty or unproductive, 

 but as the main object in planting trees on the Experimental Farm is to test their 

 suitability and value for our climate and conditions, a few years' trial after a tree 

 begins fruiting determines its quality and relative usefulness, when, if it is found 

 inferior or lacking in any of the qualities which characterize a first-clasS fruit, it is 

 removed to malce way for other more desirable or untried sorts. A partial list of those 

 which have been removed is a.ppended.
