The above photograph illustrates the i)heiiomena of "gradation" so often met with in a number of 

 seedlings of similar origin. Ihe parentage, viz. New HoodooV crossed with Blenheim OrangeA 

 can be clearly seen in the extreme types. No. 1 resembling Blenheim Orange, No. 5 Hoodoo. 

 Dashes of the dark green skin of No. 5 were to be found ai)pearing through the light silvery 

 green of the more prevalent tyije. The gradual change in shape from oblate to ovate and 

 the corresponding development of the "netting" from the green type to the oblate silvery 

 green form were clearly noticeable. No gradations were recorded of colour of flesh (jr flavour, 

 as the dissimilarities were too slight to be able to be recorded accurately.

 Grown in Canada should be the motto of the farmer, as made m Canada is the motto of 

 the manufacturer.
