 I have the following new varieties to fruit in 1896 for the first time : 



My report would be incomplete without mentioning the seedlings in the 

 trial plots ; one plot is Howard's No. 41 crossed with Marshall and Brandywine ; 

 another plot is Timbrell crossed with Brandywine and Marshall ; another plot 

 is Marshall Seedlings ; I have another plot, Howard's No, 25 and other seed- 

 lings — both these seedlings are from Haverland crossed with Belmont ; amongst 

 the above seedlings are some very fine strong healthy plants giving promise for 

 the future. Very vigorous ; the size of the fruit is often indicated by the size of 

 the leaf, if this holds good I shall have some large ones among them. Hoping 

 that we may have a more favorable season for strawberries in 1896, I will close.

Montreal Fameuse in Eng-land. — Fameuse apples have done extraor- 

 dinarily well this season in the English market, bringing as much money as 

 Kings in some instances ; but owing to the comparatively small crop of choice 

 fruit in the orchards around Montreal this year, no large quantities were avail- 

 able for shipment. Still, what went forward did remarkably well. Some sales 

 of Fameuse in Liverpool netted the shippers here $375 per bbl. and over. The 

 Montreal Fameuse has a very delicate flavor, and is much appreciated where- 

 ever introduced. — Trade Bulletin.
