SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $ per year, entitling the subscriber to membership of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario and all its privileges, including a copy of its valuable Annual Report, and a share in its annual distribution of plants and trees, REMITTANCES by Registered Letter are at our risk. Receipts will be acknowledged upon the address label. The French Treaty seems about to be ratified, notwithstanding all our appeals. A committee of our Association, consisting of A. H. Pettit, of Grimsby, Alex. McNeill, of Windsor, and W. Boulter, of Picton, interviewed the Hon. George Foster and others, who carefully noted all the injurious results to the grape industry, threatened by this treaty. Four or five Fruit Experiment Stations are to be established in the Province of Ontario this spring. The committee appointed at Peterboro' has since prepared an excellont scheme, which has received the approval of the directorate and also of the Minister of Agriculture. It contemplates ten stations, in various parts of the Province. The experimenter in charge of a station is to be a specialist in growing some one or more kinds of fruit; thus, for example, a grape grower of large experience is to be asked to experiment with grapes ; his stock of varieties is to be enlarged to cover all kinds worthy of trial, and he is expected to report on all the varieties on his grounds several times each year. In addition, he would be given plants and trees of other fruits, which it is desirable to test in that locality. The following is a list of the stations proposed to be established at once, with the estimated expenditure : STATIONS AND LOCALITIES. No. i.—Apples,pears and small fruits. Located in Prince Edward Co., managed by W. H. Dempsey, of Trenton. No. 2.—Apples, grapes, plums, and strawberries, currants, gooseberries and cherries. Located in Simcoe Co., and managed by G. C. Caston, Craighurst.
