i'KUTS OF ONTAli'lo. 



II 



FAMEUSE (Know. Pommr <l<- Xrii/r). 



The most highly valued of all table apples, and but for one fault the Pameuse would 

 be the most profitable of all, especially in Eastern Ontario, where it attains Its highest 

 perfection. The fault is that it is quite subject to the apple scab, so that in some places 

 the fruit is entirely worthless. The scab, however, may be quite readily controlled by 

 proper preventive measures.
