PLANT DISTRIBUTION FOR 1892. 



THE particular attention of our readers is invited to the very valuable List of Test 

 Plants to be sent out for trial in the Spring of 1892. It will of course be understood 

 that the Fruit Growers' Association guarantees nothing concerning the merits of the trees 

 or plants. They are sent out to be tested by the members and by all subscribers in order 

 that reliable reports concerning them may be given to the public. 



1. Moore's Diamond- — The new White Grape, described with colored plate in 

 Volume X, p. 97. One year old plant. 



Description.— Originated by Isaac Moore. Described as a pure native; 

 bunch large and compact ; berry about size of Concord ; color, greenish-white, 

 with a yellow tinge when fully ripe ; flesh juicy, almost without pulp ; quality 

 very good. Fine, vigorous and productive. (Nurserymen's price, $1.50.) 



2. The Idaho Pear-- One to two feet high. This pear was described, and illus- 

 trated with a colored plate at the beginning of Volume XII of this journal. The fruit is 

 very large, delicious in quality, and ripens in September and October. 



3. Four Plants of Woolverton Strawberry.— This is one of Mr. John Little's 

 seedlings, which he values very highly. 



4. Gipsy QirL — A new Russian Apple, imported by the Central Experimental Farm 

 with a view of extending apple culture further north. Very handsome;and reliable Winter 

 apple for the north. Placed on our list by kindness of Director Wm. Saunders. Or one 

 tree of Round Borsdorfer, or of Bhished Calville (excellent hardy varieties for the North, 

 and which may be very valuable anywhere in Ontario), or of Silken Leaf, or of Little Hat. 

 These are from new importations by the Experimental Farm, which are thought to have 

 special value for the cold North. 



5. Two Plants of Aquilegia Bergeriana- This is a very fine deep blue Colum- 

 bine, obtained by the Central Experimental Farm from Dr. Regel, Director Botanical Gar- 

 dens, St. Petersburgh, Russia, some years ago. It is a very early bloomer and is quite 

 distinct from other varieties, and blooms before the others are in flower. It is not liable 

 to become mixed, hence it can be grown from seed from time to time without difficulty and 

 kept pure. A fine hardy perennial. Placed on our list by kindness of Mr. Wm. Saunders. 



6. Hall's Japan Honeysuckle. — This is one of the most satisfactory and hardy of 

 the honeysuckles. It is nearly evergreen ; flowers, pure white, produced abundantly ; 

 fragrant like a Jasmine. 



7. Two Chrysanthemum Plants, viz. : — Louise Canning, white; and Mrs. Richard 

 Elliot, red. 



8. Two English Violets. — Napoleon, double blue; Princess Louise, double white.
