Maryland shows some Ben Davis and Grimes Golden. Penn¬ 
sylvania reports include Greening and Baldwin in Center 
county, York Imperial, Ben Davis and Stark in Franklin, etc. 
“ In Northern Ontario a fair crop is being secured, but this 
is not the important apple section. Canadian dealers and ex¬ 
porters generally depend upon the district between 1 oronto 
and Kingston and northward in ordinary seasons, obtaining 
from this territory 200,000 barrels for storage; this year it is 
estimated the outturn will be not to exceed 30,000 barrels.” 
Late last month winter apples at wholesale were bringing 
$3 and $4.50 per barrel in Boston; $2.75 and $4 50 in New 
York; $2.50 and $4.25 in Chicago.

FOREST TREE PLANTING. 
William L. Hall, superintendent of tree planting in the 
Bureau of Forestry, has just completed an examination ol 
15,000 acres of “ cutover ” white pine land in Wisconsin, says 
the Forester, a monthly magazine published by the American 
Forestry Association, of which Secretary of Agriculture James 
Wilson is president. The tract is the property of the Bay 
Shore Lumber Company of Chicago, and is located in Forest 
county. The land was cut over about fifteen years ago and 
left idle, meantime growing up in birch, red cherry, alder and 
aspen. An examination of this tract was requested of the 
Bureau of Forestry, by the owners, in order to determine if 
replanting would be feasible. Mr. Hall will recommend ex¬ 
perimental planting of white pine on a small section of forty 
acres to test what can be done. 
A forest plantation 4,100 acres in extent is to be started in 
the Kankakee bottoms, Newton county, Indiana. The land, 
which is the property of Joseph Adams, of Chicago, was 
recently' examined by George L. Clothier, an agent of the 
Bureau of Forestry, and W. H. Freeman, secretary of the 
Indiana State Board of Forestry. The examination was made 
in order to determine upon plans for the planting. The object 
in starting this plantation is to establish a permanent forest, 
and it marks the first attempt in Indiana at tree planting on the 
advice of a trained forester.

“Best Value in Hardy Trees and Plants ” is the title of a new cata¬ 
logue issued by Thomas Meehan & Sons, Germantown, Phila., Pa. It is 
popular because it not only gives the common names of the plants they 
are offering, but it tells just what size a buyer may expect for a certain 
price as well. It quotes prices for quantities also. In these ways it is 
different from many of the same class. This catalogue is full of infor¬ 
mation on tree planting and pruning, and contains many helpful hints 
and useful suggestions, of value to tree planters and owners. It is 
condensed, accurate, and would be of great help in making selections 
The new catalogue of the Franklin Davis Nursery Co., Baltimore, Md. • 
bears upon its front cover an excellent likeness of the founder of this 
nursery Franklin Davis, who died October 13, 1895. A sketch of Mr. 
Davis is in the catalogue. The following advice is given in the intro¬ 
duction of the catalogue: “A change has taken place in the labor 
system of the Southern States, and with it comes a change in ihe pur¬ 
suits of many of their people. Many are looking about undecided as 
to what they shall undertake. We believe that fruit growing offers 
greater inducements than anything else. Under this conviction we 
have gone largely into the business ourselves, and say to others, ‘ Go 
and do likewise ; ’ and if you give it proper attention, we will guarantee 
satisfactory returns.” The book is a valuable guide to varieties of 
fruits and flowers, profusely illustrated.
