It is easy to see that the Canada Reinette is a popular and highly 

 esteemed variety in Europe, by the great number of synonyms under 

 which it is known. It is doubtful, notwithstanding its name, whether 

 it is truly of Canadian origiu, as Merlet, a French writer, describes the 

 same fruit in the 17th century, and some authors think it was first 

 brought to this continent from Normandy, and carried back under its
