either <;ide with heavily laden trees of the Fameuse apple. They were all clean, 

 bright, and large, promising a lich return. Our photogravure gives some idea 

 of this view. The Ben Davis also was heavily laden, as usual, with magnificent 

 fruit. 



At Maitland, just below Brockville, we called upon Mr. Harold Jones, 

 whose orchard is delightfully located upon the banks of the Sl Lawrence. We 

 found that Mr. Jones has seven hundred acres of land, and quite a large 

 orchard of Fameuse, which indeed is the principal orchard variety of that sec- 

 tion. He is an intelligent progressive kind of man, and has kept his orchard of 

 Fameuse clear of scab by faithful spraying. It is his intention to devote him- 

 self in future largely to fruit growing. Some delightful views of the St. Lawrence 

 were shown us by Mr. Jones from certain elevations on his farm ; and afterward 

 he rowed us out on the sparkling waters of the river, in order that we might 

 have a good view of the river bank and of his orchard. A little snap of this 

 view is here given, showing the house by the side of a lofty poplar, and the 

 orchard on either side. 



Mr. Jones counts among his ancestors. Dr. David Jones, who was engaged 

 to the beautiful Jenny McCrae, scalped by the Indians at Fort Edward on the 

 Hudson ; and also Mr. Dunham Jones, Capt. of the Canadian troops at the 

 Windmill fight, near Prescott, in 1837.

Cider for Export. — We have received from Mr. H. B. Small, secretary 

 of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, the first number of a new journal 

 called "Cider," published at 15 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, W.C , England. 

 The secretary calls attention to the importance of this article in the English 

 market, and suggests the possibility of an export trade in it. Perhaps some of 

 our Ontario fruit growers, who have been giving attention to cider making would 

 like a trial shipment to Great Britain.
