Now, in planting apples in Simcoe, Huron, Grey or Bruce, we would be inclined to omit several of these, as for example the Golden Russet,because not sufficiently productive. At our Huron station this apple has proved re- gularly unproductive, even in alternate years. This year only one side of the trees, and in some cases only certain limbs are fruiting; besides, the small size of the fruit counts against it for a first-class export apple. Then the Twenty-Ounce Pippin, or Caba- shea, is most unproductive everywhere. It is a good seller, but it is too poor in quality for home use, and yields too little fruit to make it profitable for market. Snow, too, is unprofitable in the county of Grey, be- cause of the scab; while the Maiden's Blush is only worth growing for ornament. In place of these we would suggest Graven- stein, Wealthy, Blenheim and Crimson Pip- pin. THE BLENHEIM ORANGE.

I have three trees in my orchard twelve years planted, and this year I esti- mate the crop as at least twenty ; " I have a different story to tell," said Mr. Elford, of Huron County. " I have five or six trees twenty years planted, and I have never yet had two barrels off a tree in any one ; " Well," said the writer, " I have great faith in the Blenheim; it is one of the best export apples and much wanted in Great Britain; has a good reputation, which is worth considerable even to an apple.
