THE APPLE.

The Newtown Pippin (fig. 243) has not done well with me. When 

 grown in America the fruit has an incomparable etherial flavour, which 

 it never obtains in this climate. This apple is remarkable for having 

 black spots in the skin. 



January produces the large Reinette du Canada (fig. 244), which 

 is generally a good bearer, and gives a large fine apple with excellent 

 flavour. The Golden Harvey (fig. 245),^a small apple, ^—ripens about

 (fig. 246), which is a good bearer, are now fit for use. The Old 

 Nonpareil (fig. 247) is a very fine apple, below medium size, and 

 Braddick's Nonpareil (fig. 248) is also an apple of high excellence. 

 The Scarlet Nonpareil is another apple of great beauty and of high 

 quality, which should always be grown. 



•Screveton's Golden Pippin (fig. 249) is a capital little apple for 

 spring use. Adams' Pearmain (fig. 250) is another fine apple, well 

 deserving of cultivation, and the Boston Russet (fig. 251) is a late 

 apple of high excellence. 



We also grow, on bush trees, the Reinette Ananas (fig. 252), for 

 its extreme beauty of form and transparent skin, which renders it an
