Ontario Sessional Papers, 1898-99, . plashed withred; stem, finch long, set ina deep cavity ;calyx, large,nearly closed,set in a deep,even basin. Section of Alexander. [5] 62 Victoria. Sessional Papers (^o. 21). A. 1899 BALDWIN. (Steeles Bed Whiter.) The Baldwin originated in the State of Massachusetts and was for many years the mostpopular winter apple for either home or foreign markets. The average yield each alternate year was about eight barrels per tree,and in some instances much orchards of this variety werein consequence planted in the applegrowing counties of middle andsouthern Ontario, but unfortunatelyfor many years now these orchardshave been almost barren, and manyof them are being dug out as worth-less. The cause maj^ be poverty ofsoil, the lack of pollen of othervarieties to- fertilize the blossoms,or the prevalence of apple it is the latter, it may be over-come with the Bordeaux mixture ;if lack of potent pollen, by graftingin other varieties here and therethrough the orchard. Tree, upright, spreading, vigorous grower, formerly very productive. Fruit, large, roundish, ovate ;skin yellow, shaded and splashedwith crimson and red, dottedwith some russet dots ; stemheavy, three-quarters of an inchlong, in a broad cavity ; calyx,closed, in a deep plaited basin. Flesh, yellowish white, ten-der, sub-acid ; quality, secondclass. Season of use, January toMarch. Adaptation. Not very hardy at Simcoe station or in North Ontario county ; further south and along the borders of the lakes this apple may be grown to perfection, if the scab can be kept off the trees.
