FOREIGN FRUITS. ' 



Sir, — I send you by express two baskets containing six varieties of apples and nine 

 varieties of pears. The pear narneil Wilinot was ))rouglit from Toronto to Newcastle about 

 seventy years ago by the late Mr. VViliiiot and was named after him. Do you know what 

 variety it is ? J. D. Kouerts, Cohounj, Ont. 



The interesting packages of fruit from our successful amateur fruit grower, 

 Mr. J. D. Roberts, includes the following varieties. Pears: — Beurre Chaudry> 

 Beurre Baltet Pere, Therese, Directeur Alphaud, Wilmot, Fertility, Souvenir de 

 la Durand, Zol and Beurre de Mortillet ; Apples ; — Queen, Peasgoods Nonsuch, 

 Cornish Gilliflower, Lord Suffield, Lane's Prince Albert and Red Bietigheimer^ 

 The pears are mostly French varieties and are large, but scarcely showy enough 

 to attract the Ontario fruit grower. Beurre Chaudry and Directeur are large and 

 fine, but not sufficiently mature for us to judge of their quality.
