 Smith, M. P. for Wentworth, writes that 

 American barrel, holding 96.51 imperial 

 quarts has been made legal in Cap. 37,

 it punishable with a fine of 25 cents a barrel 

 to use a barrel of smaller dimensions. 



York Imperial and Sutton Beauty apples 

 have been fruited at the experimental 

 orchards of the Fonthill nurseries. Of the 

 former Mr. Wellington writes, " We think 

 so highly of it that we are grafting an old 

 orchard on a farm we purchased, entirely to 

 that variety." Of the latter he says, "we 

 believe it all right for Canada. We have 

 sold thousands of trees which will soon 

 come into bearinsf."
