Not worthplanting in On-tario. Throughconfusing itsname with thatof the CayugaRed Streak,often calledTwenty Ounce,this apple hasbeen widelyplanted in ourProvince. Thetree is unpro-ductive and thefruit, thoughlarge and fine inappearance,drops early andis poor in qual-ity. Twentytrees, at Maple-hurst, twentyyears planted,yielded aboutten barrels ofapples in 1895,the best so to February. *? Tested twenty years, at Maplehurst, Grimsby. Cabashea. FRUITS OF ONTARIO. CANADA RED. (Baltimore of Downing.) This apple is grown quite widely in Ontario under the name of Canada Red, and is valuedas a profitable commercial variety, especially where Baldwin, Spy and Ontario do not succeed ; for although only medium in size, ityields abundantly and the fruit is deeplycolored, regular, clean and firm. Thereis an old variety of this name, which isnow little grown, if at all, in Canada andwhich, though somewhat similar, is in-ferior to this variety, and consequentlyis undeserving of description. Origin. Unknown. / Tree. Vigorous, hardy and very pro-ductive. Fruit. Medium, roundish, slightly conical, regular ; color, greenish yellow, almost covered with red, sometimes splashed or slightly striped with darker Canada Red. recl5 having numerous large prominent greenish areole dots which are smaller towards the apex ; stem, half an inch long in a small, deep, and often russet
