NORTHERN GROWN NURSERY STOCK FOR SALE 



Our nurseries are situated on the tableland of the Ottawa Valley. We are the originators 

 and direct propagators of the famous Mcintosh Red apple tree. We do all of our graft- 

 ing on Crab Roots, which assures a strong, hardy root system. All of our Scions are 

 taken from our thoroughbred Mcintosh Red Orchard. Every tree in this orchard was 

 grafted from the original tree that gives the fruit the same beautiful color and delicious 

 flavor as the original. In continually grraftlng from one tree to the other the parent stock 

 has some influence, and in time a good part of both color and flavor Is lost. We also 

 grow some other hardy varieties of Apple, Pear, Plum, Cherry, Small Fruits, Flowering 

 Shrubs, Shade and Ornamental Tree*.

English Apple Crop 



Mr. J.Forstyth Smith, Fruit Trade Commissioner 

 Manchester 



The English apple crop was a good aver- 

 age one, in spite of the oft year, but a large 

 proportion of inferior fruit is in evidence, 

 and the quantity of high class apples Is 

 limited. While the supply of cooking varie- 

 ties is good, scarcely any flrst-class dessert 

 apples are available, except the Worcester 

 Pearmaln, Cox's Orange, and the Blenheim 

 Orange. These varieties have been on sale 

 in all markets, the first being especially 

 popular on account of its bright red color. 



The English apple crop has only a small 

 effect upon the price that may be obtained 

 for Canadian apples. During the summer 

 months, its comparatively poor quality, and 

 the fact that it is placed upon the market 

 with little attention to grading and packing, 

 make the Engli.sh apple a serious competi- 

 tor of Canadian No. 3's only. This effect 

 disappears towards the second week in 

 November, when the bulk of the crop has 

 gone into consumption.
