The Canadian Horticulturist. 



The most peculiar building at the Park is the so-called Temple, a grand 

 auditorium, capable of seating seven or eight thousand people. It was here that 

 we gathered to hear an address on apple orchards, by Mr. J. S. Woodward, 

 which appeared in our annual report for 1892. The building is unique in con- 

 struction, and is about one hundred feet in height. The observatory on the top 

 commands a fine view of Grimsby Village, The Point, and Niagara on the Lake. 



Situated as it is, right in the heart of the fruit district, it does not seem 

 inappropriate to give our readers this brief notice of Grimsby Park.

THAT IMPROVED BALDWIN. 



Sir, — In regard to that improved Baldwin apple I sent you, I have had it 

 in bearing for some years past. I first had one tree of it that I grafted myself, 

 and the fruit was of such fine flavor that I have quite a number of trees now. 

 Some four or five years ago I took it in town and showed it to Mr. A. McD. 

 Allan ; he pronounced it of fine flavor ; he thought it was a Baldwin, but said 

 it was of superior quality. It has kept up its fine quality, I have had it nearly 

 as large as the 20 oz. Pippin, and in appearance very like the King. It is one 

 that bears very regularly every year. I had, only a few days ago, some specimens 

 that measured nearly 10 in. in circumference, and still good. I consider it the 

 best apple I have.
