Green Mountain Grape. 



T6I. Sib, — Should this vine be laid down for winter protection? 



R. H. L., Kingston. 



Nearly all grapes will produce more fruit if laid down and protected in 

 winter. The hardiness of the Green Mountain has not yet been proved in 

 Ontario. ^ 



Books on Fruit Farming". 



762. Sir,— Would you kindly tell me, through the Horticcrturist, the titles, 

 publishers and prices of the best book or books on fruit farming, adapted to Ontario. By 

 so doing, you will greatly oblige, 



One of Your Readers. 



" Thomas' American Fruit Culturist " is perhaps the best book for Canadian 

 fruit growers. The author is the late John J. Thomas, of Union Springs, N. Y., 

 and the conditions prevailing there are very similar to those in Ontario. 



Seeds and Plants Wanted. 



763. Sir, — Please tell me where Melilot clover seed can be purchased, and the 

 price. T. F. Emerson, Valentid. 



Sir, — Please inform me if any one, to your knowledge, has the Heebner raspberry 

 bushes for sale. 



Will those interested please reply. 



A Good Peach. 



764. Sir, — I want a peach of good quality, hardy and productive, that will mature 

 about the last week in Septem ler or first of October in our latitude, which means, I pre- 

 sume, the last of September in Ontario. What would you recommend ? What about Old 

 Mixon Ireestone ? 



John Killam, North Kingston. 



We have a peach in Ontario known as Stevens' Rareripe, which would 

 probably ripen about the time required ; a good sized, white fleshed, salable 

 peach. Another is Bowslaugh's late, a variety originating in this section, and 

 counted quite hardy and profitable. Old Mixon ripens close with Early Craw- 

 ford, and Smock, our finest late peach, ripens about first week in October.
