out of one hundred varieties of strawberries 

 he had grown he rejected all but one, show- 

 ing how uncertain the returns were for his 

 labors. Page twenty-eight in the report of 

 the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association for 

 1881 gives an account of father's opinion 

 on apjjles, in which he spealts of his favor- 

 ite "Arnold's Beauty." 



That there is a wide field for this class of 

 work in Canada is very evident, and if 

 some person thoroughly in love with hybrid- 

 izing were to take it up with patient, per- 

 sistent effort 1 am convinced it would not 

 only bring hira some degree of fame but 

 substantial monetary returns also. — Mi». E.

A Boom in Norfolk 



A great boom is taking place in the fruit 

 lands in Norfolk county, Ontario. The On- 

 tario Fruit Lands, Limited, a Toronto com- 

 pany organized by G. li. Cottrelle, manager 

 of the real estate department of the Union 

 Trust Company, bought a tract of one 

 thousand acres last April. This land, which 

 is now known as the Lynndale Farms, is to 

 have all its inside fences removed, leaving 

 the large block with only a boundary fence. 

 Mr. Paul E. Angle, who gained a reputa- 

 tion in his work as district representative 

 in Simcoe of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture, has been appointed manager. 



The land was bought purely for invest- 

 ment purposes. It will bo planted with 

 fruit, principally apple and peach trees. 

 Since taking possession of the land last 

 summer, seventy-five acres of apples and 

 peaches have been planted and the ground 

 prepared for planting four hundred acres 

 more next spring. 



The nursery stock for the spring planting 

 has been purchased and comprises the 

 varieties of apple and peach trees that have 

 been proven to produce most abundantly in 

 that district and command a good price. 

 It is the intention of the company to have 

 the entire thousand acres planted in fruit 

 trees as soon as the ground can be put in 

 shape and the stock procured. The young 

 trees will be cared for until they commence 

 to bear profitably, when it is believed the 

 land may be sold to settlers from other fruit- 

 growing parts. The planting is all to be 

 done in such a -way that at a future time 

 any sized parcel may be disposed of. 



The "Norfolk Publicity and Development 

 Board" has been formed in Norfolk county, 

 Ontario, to advance the agricultural and 

 industrial interests of the county. It is 

 composed of leading residents of the county. 

 The officers are: President, H. H. Groft ; 

 vice-president, H. P. Innes, ex-M.P.P. ; sec- 

 retary-treasurer, J. E. Johnson, manager of 

 the Norfolk Fruit Growers' Association; 

 committee. G. J. McKie and J. E. Smith. 

 The formation of this organization indi- 

 cates that old Ontario is beginning to 

 awake and to join in the effort to catch 

 some of the attention of tlie busy world. 



The prospectus of a new company, the 

 Dominion Western Bonds Corporation, is 

 being advertised in London, England. It 

 has a capital of $1,000,000. Four British 

 M P.'s are on the board, Col. Hickman, Sir 

 Gilbert Parker, Hon. E. S. Montague and 

 .T. L. Baird. The object is to acquire and 

 develop farm and fruit estates in the Do- 

 minion, especially in the Kootenay and 

 Okanagan, Cassiar and Cariboo districts, 

 British Columbia.

 able, and the advertisements O.K.— W. i.
