Varieties Recommended to Ontario Planters. 



The following list, prepared by the Board of Control of the Ontario 

 Fruit Experiment Stations, contains only a few of the most valuable 

 varieties recommended for planting in Ontario. These have been sel- 

 ected from about 800 that have already been tested in this Province. 

 This list might well be doubled to include a number of valuable kinds 

 for R()ecial localities. 



In the following lists the varieties are mentioned in their order of 

 ripening. The division into summer, autumn, and winter varieties is 

 an indefinite classification because of the marked difference in the season 

 of maturing in northern and southern sections of the Province, yet, it is 

 valuable to some extent as a guide.
