The Canadian Horticulturist. 243 



Huron Co0NTV — Sir, — The prospect in Huron county for apples and pears is, gener- 

 ally, about one quarter a crop. Some small sections have a halt crop, others bare and, I 

 think, a quarter crop the outside figure now. The Ontario apple section wont give a 

 quarter, taken all through. — A. McD. Allan, Goderich, Ont, 



Middlesex County — Sir, — By careful observation and] inquiry in the north riding of 

 Middlesex, the following is a fair estimate of the fruit crop in this part of the county. 

 Apples, 40 to 50 per cent.; plums, 15 to 20 ; grapes, 40 : pears, 15 to 20 ; raspberries, 50 ; 

 cherries, 60 to 75. — Wm. Dickson, Parkhill, Ont. 



Lincoln County — Sir, — As near as I can estimate the fruit prospects in this county, 

 the apple crop will be about 40 per cent. I think the following is a fair estimate of the 

 fruit crop : pears, 50 per cent ; peaches about 80 ; grapes, most varieties, about 90; plums 

 about 95 ; quinces about 75 ; apricots about 50. — J. H. Brodkrick, St. Catharines, Ont. 



Sir, — Plums are a heavy crop ; blackberries, the same ; apples a short crop. — E. MoR- 

 den, Niagara Falls, Smiih, Ont. 



Brant County — Sir, — The following is my estimate of the fruit crop in the County 

 of Brant : — Apples, 35 per cent. ; Pears, 50 ; Peaches, 40 ; Plums, 50 ; Tomatoes, 100. — 

 D. M. Lee, Paris, Ont. 



Victoria County — Sir, — Apples will be rather less than average, probable three 

 quarters of average in this county. Pears not more than one half the average ; plums, the 

 best crop we have had for many years ; grapes, little less than average. There is no scab 

 on apples or pears, no mildew on gooseberries, injurious insects very few. — Thomas Beall, 

 Lindsay, Ont. 



Frontenac County — Sir, — I have examined several of the largest orchards in this 

 district, and find that, on the whole, there will not be more than half a crop of apples. 

 Our Brockville Beauty trees are bearing an immense crop ; Red Astracan and Duchess a 

 fair crop ; St. Lawrence also fair crop. Golden Russet and other winter varieties hardly 

 half a crop. There were no " tent caterpillars' about this year, which is remarkable when 

 you consider that last year they were exceedingly numerous. The plum crop was very 

 promising, but the curculio has made sad havoc with them. Very few pears are grown 

 here. — D. Nicol, Cataraqui, Ont. 



Prince Edward County — Sir, — Apples are not more than one quarter an average 

 crop, but the sample will be first quality, especially where spraying has been attended to. 

 No spot to be seen. Pears are about one-eighth average, but the sample is good. — P. C. 

 Dempsey, Trenton, Ont. 



Stormont County — Sir, — The prospect for fruit in this district is about as follows : 

 Grapes, much damaged by late frosts ; apples, half a crop, with few exceptions ; bud moth 

 and the leaf roller have been particularly destructive. — W. S. Turner, Cornwall, Ont. 



Pelee Island — Sir, — Prospects good for a full crop of grapes. Catawba, 95 per cent. 

 Concord and all other grapes 90 to 100. Young grapes lying on the low grounds were 

 badly used up by the late frosts ; old vines on wire not hurt. — E. Wardroper.
