The readers of the Canadian Horti- culturist will be pleased to see a colored plate of an apple that has so much to commend it as the Yellow Transparent, This is not a new and unti-ied fruit, but is proved to be one of the few apples of real excellence which is ad- apted to the northerly portions of the apple region.

It may be gathered any time in August, or be left to hang into the month of September, all the time improving in beauty. (3) Freedom from Spot—And herein lies of its great merits.
