Columbian Exposition Awards. — Constant inquiry is made for these 

 long delayed medals and diplomas. The Director of the United States mint 

 states the medals will be ready about June ist proximo. The diplomas will be 

 completed about April isl. The medals and bronze are made at a cost of 

 about $1.25 each. The diplomas are about 22 x 18, and are to be a beautiful 

 work of art. One medal and diploma was awarded our Association for her 

 exhibit of bound volumes of The Canadian Horticulturist, under the head 

 of Horticultural literature. 



Canada Red. — An apple has been grown for some time in Ontario and 

 Quebec, under this name, the identity of which is now called in question. So 

 well has the apple succeeded in the Province of Quebec that the Montreal 

 Society is desirous of distributing it among their members this spring. Mr. J. 

 C. Plumb, of Milton, Wisconsin, to whom samples were sent, declares that it is 

 the Baltimore of Downing. Certainly the description of this variety does closely 

 coincide with the apple in question, but no Canadian pomologist seems to 

 remember the Baltimore having ever been introduced into Canada. Possibly 

 these are but two names for the same apple, the differences being due to locality 

 and other conditions of growth.
