NOTES AND COMMENTS. 



Errata, Page 345, "Our Watering," 

 should read "Over Watering-. Page 348, 

 "Bench Roses" should read "Bunch 

 Roses." 



The Wonderfully Fine Prospect for 

 apples will be much lessened by dropping- 

 and worms. Western New York and 

 Southern Ontario give excellent promise. 



Our Fruit at Paris seems to have at- 

 tracted considerable attention. Five first

 was shipped on steamer Parisian to Liver- 

 pool in cold storage. 



The Triumph Peach is promising to be 

 very popular in Ontario. Growers in the 

 Niagara district think its time of ripening,

most popular peach of its season. Fault is 

 found with it by others on account of its 

 furry coat and its toughness of skin, while 

 the tree they say is much subject to blight, 

 especially after a season of a heavy crop. 



Mr. R. B. Whyte, Director at Ottawa, 

 seems to be one of the chief prize winners 

 at the Horticultural show at Ottawa on the 

 17th of July, both for fruits and flowers, 

 judging from the report in the Ottawa 

 Citizen.

 Stephens, Orillia, received 26th July, 1900, 

 all from four year old plants. No. I, Seed- 

 ling of Industry, picked 20th July, much 

 resembles its parent in color and form, but 

 from branch received would appear to be 

 much more productive. No. 2, also Seed- 

 ling of Industry, green in color, quite soft
