Tree (^uite hardy, moderately productive, and fruit of attractive appearance, which, although only second-rate in (quality, commands first price in market. Can be profitably grown. 1877.—Goodale pear. The tree lived several years, but never bore fruit. Judging by this specimen, it is not suitable for cultivation here. 1878.—Burnet grape vine. A remarkably vigorous grower, and quite hardy but ripens its fruit too late. The fruit when ripe is, perhaps, the highest flavored out-door grape grown in Ontario. It ripened thoroughly last year, and but fairly well two or three seasons previously. It is, therefore, too late for profitable cul- tivation. Those who cultivate grapes for their own use only, would do well to have a few vines. 1879.—Ontario apple. This tree was diseased when received. It bore a few apples the second year, and has borne fruit more or less every year since. Last year it produced a large crop and grew more healthy wood than for the past five or six years. Young trees of this variety are doing very well, and scions grafted on Talman Sweet and on Tetofsky have made wonderful growth for several years, and are bearing well.
