THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



Fic. 1441. — Dr. Stewart's Seedling Peach, 



tried at all the stations, 

 for he believes that 

 some varieties would 

 pay well as a market crop. 



Mr. Huggard of Whit- 

 by showed a good col- 

 lection. His Clairgeau 

 pears were especially 

 beautiful. This variety 

 is a fine export pear and 

 takes on a wonderfully 

 fine colored cheek 

 which makes it very at- 

 tractive. 



Mr. Burrell of the 

 Niagara station had a 

 full table of many kinds 

 of fruit, showing well the 

 capabilities of his sec- 

 tion. His station is new 

 and he had little to show 

 as yet of varieties fur- 



productive enough to plant, unless for 

 the home garden. Its sweet agreeable 

 flavor makes it fine for dessert purposes. 



Mr. G. C. Gaston well represented the 

 fruit of North Simcoe with apples and 

 bottled small fruits. He 

 showed some immense 

 specimens of Alexander 

 apples, a variety which 

 no doubt can be profit- 

 ably exported to Eng- 

 land in cold storage. 

 He also showed samples 

 of an immense Russian 

 apple, the Hare Pipka, 

 which might also be 

 desirable for the same 

 purpose. 



Mr. A. W. Peart re- 

 presented the Burling- 

 ton district with a variety 

 collection, which includ- 

 ed nuts, grapes, pears 

 and apples. In his opin- 

 ion nuts ought to be Fig. 1442.

nished him by the Board of Gontrol. He 

 has been sent a collection of Japan 

 chestnuts, but he finds it difficult to 

 transplant and very few have survived.
