The Dutch Mignonne and Little Romanite, I notice do well in neighbors' orchards. Around Lytton and Armstrong, in the upper country, they grow the finest apples I ever saw. Nearly all the English gooseberries mildew badly with us, but the Downing and Oregon Champion are free from it so far and yield immense crops. Vancouver, M. ]. Henry. FRUIT growing in British Col- umbia can be made very pro- fitable if the settler has means enough to properly clear the land and live until he can get returns from his plantation of fruits, which means an expense of $200 to $400 per acre for clearing, and his living for two or three years until his fruits begin to bear. Nearly every variety of plums and prune grow to perfection here, but there are only five or six varieties that I would plant for profit. Cherries do equally as well, and bring good prices, especially the Gen. Wood, Yellow Spanish, May Duke, Royal Ann and Black Tartarian.
