Is Prince Engelbert a desirable plum ? What are its faults ? Is the tree healthy and 

 productive? Can you name any peaches more suited to this locality than Crosby, Hyne's 

 Surprise, Horton Rivers ? Is there any other class of Dwarf Juneberry better than the 

 ordinary Saskatoon ? Ed. Mans, Echo Place, Brant Go. 



What fruits can be grown in South Pklmonton, Alberta ? Would Russian apples 

 succeed there? C. E. Gwyn, Dundas.

Apples. — Receipts still come pouring in in large quantities, and sales are very slow at 

 $1.00 to $1.75 per barrel for fall varieties and $2.00 to $3.00 per barrel for winter varieties. 



Pears. — The market is still over-supplied with pears, which is owing to the heavy 

 receipts during the week ; basket pears are unsalable at any price, while barrels are sell- 

 ing slowly at $2.00 to $3.00, and fancy $3.50 to $4.50 ; California pears $1.50 to $2.00 per 

 box. 



Peaches. — With a limited demand and a full supply California peaches are selling at 

 $1.00 to $1.25 per box. 



Potatoes. — The demand for potatoes continue good, and we quote 50c. per bag of 90 

 lbs. on track, and 55c. to 60c. in a jobbing way. 



Onions. — Canadian onions are selling well, but the receipts are very heavy, which 

 keeps the market over-supplied at $1.75 to $2 00 per barrel. In Spanish onions some good 

 sized sales have been made at 67^0., but for jol)bing lots we quote 75c. to. 80c per crate.

The Forms for Fruit Stations. — Secretary Woolverton has favored us 

 with a set of the blank forms to be used by the managers of the several experi- 

 mental fruit stations in Ontario. These forms are ruled with printed headings, 

 asking for the fullest possible information regarding the fruits under cultivation. 

 When properly filled in they will present in tabular form complete details as to 

 the varieties, origin and characteristics of the tree, bush or vine, the soil and 

 management, size, form, color, quality, productiveness and other points relating 

 to the fruit, as well as its freedom from disease, marketing qualities, seasons, 

 etc. These forms show that the intention is to make the operations at the 

 Ontario experiment fruit farms as thorough and useful to everyone interested as 

 it is possible to make them. — The Weekly Globe.
