Crabs Transcendent and Hyslop. 



In this district the varieties which are susceptible to apple scab should 

 not be planted. Gravenstein and Spy are undoubtedly the best apples here. 



PEAKS ^ 



Bartlett, Flemish Beauty, Buerre d'Anjou. 

 These do well, but are not in such favour as the apples. 



PLUMS : 



Black Diamond, Italian Prune. 



CHERRIES : 



Preserving Olivet, Morello. 



Among the pears, plums, and cherries, while the above probably do best, 

 there is very little information, and it is not likely that there will be much 

 planting done at present. 

 STRAWBERRIES : 



Magoon, British Queen, Royal Sovereign. 



RASPBERRIES : 

 Cuthbert. 



Strawberries and raspberries have proven an excellent colmnercial 

 proposition to good, careful growers in this district. Sweet cherries are not 

 recommended commercially, but preserving cherries, while not proven, will 

 probably give good returns. 



IMPORTANT. On the Upper Arrow Lake the best commercial proposition 

 at the present time is undoubtedly an orchard of Gravenstein and Northern 

 Spy, in which for inter-crops the strawberries and raspberries named above 

 may be grown. 



12. East Kootenay. 



APPLES : 



Summer Duchess of Oldenburg. 

 Fall Wealthy, Mclntosh Red. 

 Winter Jonathan. 

 Crabs Transcendent and Hyslop. 



PEARS : 



Flemish Beauty. 



PLUMS : 



Italian Prune. 



In this section the hardier varieties of apples should receive special 

 emphasis. The information available is insufficient to give positive recom- 

 mendations, but the varieties mentioned above, with the pear Flemish 

 and the Italian Prune, will probably give the best results.
