grown from native stock, as the same species from the southern part of their range 

 would not prove hardy in many cases. 



FRUITS RECOMMENDED FOR PRAIRIE PROVINCES. 



Apples, in the Most Favourable Sihiations.—'Blushed Calville, Hibernal, Anisette, 

 Duchess, Charlamoff, Antonovka, Patten's Greening, Lowland Raspberry, Beautiful 

 Arcad. 



Crab-apples. — Transcendent, Virginia, Hyslop, Florence. 



Saunders' Hybrid Apples. — Jewel, Charles, Silvia, Prince, Tony, Robin, and Elsa. 

 These are about the size of other named crab apples, but hardier. 



Plums. — Cheney, Aitkin, Odegard, Assiniboine, and best early seedlings of the 

 native plum of Manitoba, which are to be preferred above all others if earliest and 

 best are obtained. In southern Manitoba, and possibly in very favoured locations 

 in other provinces, the Sand and Compass cherries, which are more like plums 

 than cherries, will succeed. There are a number of promising varieties among 

 Hansen's hybrid plums, including Etopa, Hanska, Opata, Kaga, Owanka, and Sapa. 



Currants, Red. — Raby Castle, Stewarts, Red Dutch. 



Currants, White. — White Grape, White Dutch. 



Currants, Black. — Beauty, Naples, Lee's Prolific, Saunders, Victoria. 



Gooseberries. — Houghton. 



Raspberries, Red. — King, Loudon, Turner, Sunbeam. 



Raspberries, Purple. — Columbian. 



Raspberries, Black. — Older. The black raspberries are not very satisfactory. 



Raspberries should be covered with soil in winter in many places. 



Strawberries. — Senator Dunlap, Beder Wood, Crescent, Lovett, Enhance, and 

 Pocomoke. The Senator Dunlap has proved the most satisfactory for general plant- 

 ing. Strawberries need the protection of a straw mulch in winter. 



VEGETABLES RECOMMENDED FOR THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES. 



Asparagus. — Conover's Colossal, Palmetto, Argenteuil. 



Beans. — Round Pod Kidney Wax, Wardwell's Kidney Wax, among yellow-podded 

 or wax, bush beans; and Stringless Green Pod, Early Red Valentine and Early 

 Refugee, among green-podded varieties. 



Beets. — Meteor, Early Model, Blood Red Ball, Egyptian, Eclipse. 



Cabbage. — Paris Market (extra early) ; Early Jersey Wakefield, and Copenhagen 

 Market (early 1 ), Danish Ballhead and Drumhead Savoy (late) and Red Dutch (red). 



Cauliflowers. — Early Dwarf Erfurt and Early Snowball. 



Carrots. — Early Scarlet Horn, for early; and Chantenay for main crop. 



Celery. — White Plume (the earliest) and Golden Self Blanching (Paris Golden 

 Yellow). 



Corn. — Squaw (flint), Early Adams (flint), Early Malakoff (sweet), Golden 

 Bantam (sweet).
