THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



superior to the American, the flesh of the fruits is 

 finer, more juicy and toothsome, whereas a good 

 many of the California Newton apples are hard 

 and quite different to those sent from Canada. 

 This is proved indirectly by the excellent prices 

 which rule for the best Canadian stuff. We 

 throw out a hint to the retail fruiterers and 



dealers in the cities and towns of the United 

 Kingdom. Why not ticket these fruits as 

 "Canadian"? If that were done the public 

 would do its duty without hesitation, and a taste 

 of " the real thing " would soon create an im- 

 mense demand for the finest of fruits from the 

 fair Dominion of Canada.

The Reports that come to us concerning' 

 the fruit exhibit from Canada at the Paris 

 Exposition are most satisfactory, and our 

 readers will be glad to have a g-limpse of the 

 display of apples of the crop of 1899, which 

 were collected by Mr. A. McAUan, of God- 

 erich for Ontario. All provinces which grow 

 apples for export were represented but we 

 have not the names of those who collected 

 for the other provinces.

 year's crop, which were taken in cold storage 



to Manchester, and are to be forwarded 

 thence to Paris.
