EARLY APPLES FOR MARKET. 



1204.— Early Harvest 



place that variety. For home 

 uses, however, we would not 

 omit the Harvest because of 

 its superiority of flavor as a 

 dessert apple. Mr. S P. 

 Morse, of Milton, has a seed- 

 ling Early Harvest, almost 

 equalling it in flavor, a little 

 larger, less subject to scab, 

 and otherwise much resembl- 

 ing it, which may prove de 

 sirable for home use instead 

 of the original. 



The Yellow Transparent 

 was introduced from St. 

 Petersburg, Russia, in 1870, 

 and has been steadily gaining 

 in favor among the fruit 

 growers of the Northern States 



and Canada. Its har- 

 diness, productive- 

 ness, resistance of 

 scab, and early bear- 

 ing, being its desir- 

 able qualities. Our 

 Simcoe Experiment 

 Station reports that 

 it began bearing 

 there four years after 

 planting. Just now, 

 (Aug. 5th) the Yel- 

 low Transparent is 

 selling in Montreal 

 market at 40 cents a 

 twelve quart basket, 

 but of course, the 

 Early Harvest is an 

 unusual failure, and 

 that price is above 

 what could be e.xpected in average seasons. 



This variety has been fully described in the last 

 report of the Ontario Fruit Experiment Stations, 

 which is sent free to the members of our Associa- 

 tion.
