. The Canadian horticulturist [monthly], 1892. Gardening; Canadian periodicals. The Canadian Hortuui-itrist. 77 LJ: ITERS FROM RLSSIA.—VUl. A PORT ().. HIS has been known for a long time in Russia, and was mentioned in books of horticulture, even in the last cen- tury. It is not known whether it originated in Russia, or was introduced from other countries. Some horticulturists suppose that the A[)ort, or Oport, is of Turkish origin, but this is only a supposition. On account of the practice of the Russian people of propagating fruit trees by seeds, there have been grown from the Aport ten or more varieties, differing in time of ripening and in taste, and all are \er\- showy apples. Many nufserymen offer, in their catalogues, four varieties of the Aport for sale. These sorts bring a good price in our markets, though thev must not be jilanted in narrow valleys, gardens with high walls, or in wet ground, or thev will not succeed well. The Aport succeeds best in an open exposure, on good black, but not wet, soil. For this reason it succeeds well in the southern governments. It is more sensitive to cold than some other Russian varieties, and winter-kills north of Mcscow. The most beautiful samples of this sort, I saw in South-Western and Southern Russia. One of our horticulturists, Mr. Ryloff, described several varieties of the Aport. He divides the Aports into four groups, as follows : Group I.—Ukriana Aport (Fi(;s. 19 and 20)..
