'E are of the opinion that it 

 is dangerous ground to 

 recommend too strongly 

 any one variety of apples 

 We may say what we know 

 adaptability of a variety 

 to a certain section, and cite instances 

 of the successful exportation of certain 

 varieties, and leave people to draw their 

 own conclusions. For instance the New- 

 town Pippin, otherwise known as Alber- 

 marle Pippin, sells at a very high price 

 in the English market. But to plant it 

 would be a serious mistake for Canadian 

 fruit growers, because thus far, it has not 

 been found adapted to Ontario. The 

 King apple sells at a very high price but 

 only suceeds in favored sections — in- 

 deed no where does it yield freely 

 2 95 



enough to make- it very'profitable. The 

 Baldwin keeps well up, owing to its 

 color. It is always the prominent var- 

 iety in sale reports, and brings a high 

 price. We noticed a quotation from 

 Hamburg of Baldwins at 21/ per barrel. 

 Possibly this may prove one of our future 

 markets. 



We would not plant Pewaukee or Ben 

 Davis in Southern Ontario. A su- 

 perior apple is the Cranberry Pippin, 

 an apple we have grown for many years, 

 and this year exported about two hun- 

 dred barrels, many of them in apple 

 cases containing about one bushel each. 

 It is finer looking than either the varie- 

 ties named and better quality. The 

 trees are equally healthy and vigorous, 

 and regular bearer each alternate year.
