This list, at that time, met with some adverse criticism, but although some varieties have since been deemed worthy of being added to the list, and one, the Fameuse, seems scarcely worthy of retaining on account of the scab, the majority of them have been gradually gain- ing ground m the confidence of the planters who live in the less favored regions of Canada The Scott's Winter seems especially worthy of notice. The variety originated in the State of Vermont, a portion of which is as bleak and cold as our most northerly apple growing districts. The fruit is not large, averaging about the same as the Fameuse as it is grown in Ontario, or the Winesap, and it is about as handsome as the latter. It is roundish in form, with one shoulder rather prominent, a darker red than is shown in our colored plate, which, indeed, in other respects scarcely does justice to the beauty of the apple. The skin is partially specked with rather prominent dots over its whole surface. The quality i« only fair, yet, when fully matured, it is a good dessert apple, while for cooking.
