APPLES OEIGINATED IN THE HORTICULTURAL DIVISION. 



There is an increasing number of apple trees beginning to fruit each year of which 

 both parents ar^ known or, in other words, which were originated by hand pollination, 

 but there are no new ones which have been thought worthy of a name this year. On 

 the other hand there are three seedlings of which only one parent is known which have 

 been named and descriptions of these follow. One cross-bred apple originated by the 

 late Dr. Wm. Saunders has been named during the past year and a description of it 

 will be found after the other three. Following these descriptions is a list of names of 

 varieties of apples originated in the Horticultural Division, 118 in all, with references 

 as to the time of sowing the seed, planting in the orchard, first fruiting and time and 



Ottawa.
