By the ti'ade in Great Britain they are known as " g-allon " apples, on 

 account of the size of the tins in which they are ])acked. The weight 

 of frnit in each tin would a])pear to be 6 to 8 lbs. For best brands, 

 such as Curtice Bros. Co., Kochester X.Y., the average wholesale price 

 obtained is about 10s. per dozen and 9s. for secondary grades. These 

 retail for about Is. per tin. Mr. Sinclair obtained a case of United 

 States and one of Canadian canned apples and sent these to the 

 Department, so that they could be seen by growers or fruit canners 

 in the State. The process, which was a simple one by heating the 

 fruit with hot water, was fully described in the report forwarded to 

 the Department of Agriculture, from whom it can be obtained on 

 application by growers or those interested in the matter.
