The Canadian Horticulturist. 39 



Those who have been favored with even a small crop of first class apples are very for- 

 tunate, but no one should be very confident regarding the future of apple growinj? on this 

 account, for the market for this fruit is a very fluctuating one Growers must expect that 

 there will be an oc^casional season in the near future when the apple crop is a very abun- 

 dant one, and prices so low as to scarcely repay them for the trouble of harvesting. On the 

 whole, Canadian fruit growers are the best situated of any in the world to make money out 

 of the l)usiness because the clear quality of Canadian stock is so highly appreciated, both 

 in the Englisli and American markets. Notwithstanding this, however, it must not be 

 8upp<ised that apple growing, or any other line of fruit culture, will always prove a mine of 

 wealth, for there are many discouragements, and many seasons of failure and disappoint- 

 n»ent. This season is one of the hardest to bear, because the prices are high and many 

 growers have so little to sell.
