PRINCE OK WALKS ri.LWK 



Siii^ We have just received a copy of the November No. of the C-an aijian Hoktu'LL- 



HKisT, and Hnd the Prince of Wales plum described in it. It is not a new variety. We 

 had a tree in bearing as long ago as IS.')!). We always thought well of it, but the demand 

 for it was never great, and hence, when reducing the number of varieties, it was dropped 

 out from our propagvting list. We merely draw your attention to this to show that it is 

 not a new variety, although not well known.

THE ENGLISH APPLE \L\r<Ki;i'. 



According to latest advices, Canadian winter apples are now in good demand in the 

 British markets. Unfortunately, the immense .(Uantity of fall apples and poor grado 

 winters have been depressing prices terribly, but now the (piantity is so much lessened that 

 quite a re-action is setting in. -, , , .
