After looking over the whole field carefully, the following conclusions have been reached: First, that the northern limits of apple culture can be materially extended by plant- ing the hardiest of these varities. Second, all fruit-growing districts of Canada may be benefited by adding a judicious selection of the best kinds. Third, that among them are many valuable summer apples. Fourth, experience seems to indicate that among them are winter apples of fair qual- ity and superior hardiness. Fifth, that in the milder portions of Ontario these winter apples are not of sufficiently good quality to be recommended. It is difficult in many localities to get an unbiased opinion in regard to the Russian apples. Two schools or factions among apple- growers have sprung up; one of which main- tains the supremacy of our native fruits, while the other endorses the Russian apples. \Vitliout personal examination it is difficult to get at the actual status of the the Storehoum 890 “3641’.
