Northern Spy seedUngs—W. T. Macoun of Canada grew 100 Northern Spy seedlings concerning which this summary is presented; 35 per cent resembled the parent in general appearance, 13 per cent in form, 39 per cent in flesh, 19 per cent in color, 3'> per cent in flavor and 28 per cent in no marked resemblance. Most of the seedlings, like the parent, were late in coming into bearing. This investigator concludes that the Spy is one of the best parents to use in cross breeding, since it has impressed its good character- istics on a large proportion of its progeny, although a self or nearly self-sterile variety. 200.
