Origin of Windsor Cherry 



"CerasBs," Kelowna, B.C. 



In August Better Fruit, an Oregon publi- 

 cation, I have read an article in which the 

 writer, after congratulating Oregon upon 

 originating Bing and Black Republican 

 cherries, gives credit to some other part (un- 

 named) of the Pacific coast fruit country, 

 for the production of Windsor cherry. As 

 the writer of the article is a well known 

 fruit man in the cherry growing centre of 

 Oregon, the statement should I think be 

 corrected. 



4 RASPBERRY PLANTS 



OR 



2 HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS 



The Rappbcrrnes include 3 red varieties:— 

 King". Ruby Red, Herbert; and 1 black, 

 Cumberland. The best that ^row8. The

 Helianthus Rigidus (Prairie Sunflower). 

 The former blooms in late Fall and the 

 latter in the Mid-Summer.

 Wellington, Nurseryman, Toronto, we can
