The lrult bra-callers have established “my "horticultural varieties" ul- dudmg the Navel Oranges. The w,“ name proclaims the fruit as oi Chinese origin but it is now grown coullnercinlly ill a number or other countries. At Kew Gardens. near London, there were. in a cool greenhouse. numbers of small orange we; growing in “tubs" (half- barlcisi and annually bearing o. crop o; n11, This of course was "just 35 n cilroisity." Next to tile Sweet Orange comes the King Orange (C. nobllis). The fruits of illis species are sold as vkjdglOve Oranges" because of their thin and readily separable skins. He» ngain there are varieties tor swing»: tile Tangerine, sometimes called rho ftlandurizl, Orange is the liififll‘ C.n. dcliciosa. nnd the Sat- ‘unlit is C.n. unshlu, the latter being the llardlest of all. The sour Orange (C. nurantlum) u’ used. in America at least as stock for budding with tkle com- mercial varieties. It is claimed however that its fruit makes better marmalade than that of other gpecies. Then them is the trlfoliate o1‘ m. ‘lhree-leaved Orange, (C. trlfollsta), not an everygreen, but with decid- uous lenvcs, and almost inedible fruit. It is hardier than most oranges, and is therefore in de- mand as propagating stock. lsstl the Otalleite Orange (C. tlltenss) has very fragrant flow- ersand small ornamental (though hitter) fruits. This is ‘a favorite in liouh American greenhouses. Ihldrtlmost overlooked one of the commonest of the Citrus fruits, the lemon (C. limonla). This spiny evergreen tree leads all the acid var- ieties in commercial importance. It is B150 more susceptible to frost injury thin others of the genus. This plant is often grown for ‘JFWQIIICHC in conservatories and even in re- nrlcncc-s, The Citron (C. medics) lcurce of the "lemon-peel" so dearly loved by the children of Britain. The thick peel is candied ill use ill cakes anti zozlfectlorloly. The fruit is like n large lemon but the tree which bears it is so tender that its cultivation can only be ca:- ried on in the south of Florida and California. The true Grapefruit or Pomeio is the C. plu-adisi, an evergreen sub- tropical plant grown (in the USA.) mainly in the southern districts of Florida Texas, snd California. The large flue-grained fruits are borne in small clusters, a point to be re- Winized by the growers. The Shaddock, known also as the Pummelo or Pompelmous, is botani- cally C. mltxima. When the grape- irult habit first took hold on Amer- ica this coarse-grained and larger fruit was frequently and fraud- Iilfiy substituted for that of C. Daradlsl. The grower who did thLs was under no illusion himself for the Shaddock bears its fruit singly 111=V1fld of in clusters. The thorny evergreen tree known as the Lime (C. nurantlfolla), is very tender and is restricted to gardens st the south tip of Florida and California.

A 511111111011’: Seal Plant Last Fail. a reader residing in W18 oysterbed Bridge district, sent me B. piflnt which, I thought, re- sembled one o! our native wild flowers, the False Solomon's Seal (Smilacina). A; it was not in flow. or l put it in the "nursery bed" for tbewlnter with the hope that it wcu.d bloom when springtime came. It was aster early and threw up a “\‘°'1°°l 819m. 0f a delicate green- ish white. and arched at the tip From the llxils of the leaves (which We? f-‘Olflred like the stem) hung clusters of snow-white tubular flowers about three-quarters of an inch long. The flowers were slightly constricted in the middle. and had six small lobes, colored deep green, at their orifices. I recognized this very handsome herbaceous perennial as the true Solomon's Seal, Poly- gonatum multlfiorum, a British wild plant, but rare indeed. Thu plant has a running root- Wwk. and when the stem dies down (which it does every year) it leaves a. scar that looks like the impres- sloll of a signet ring or seal, on the root. What Solomon had to do with 1t I never CO1L'd find out, I take ttlls opportunity of thanking my reader for this rare and hand- some plant. “The New Prophecy" This book, so entitled, is in the Public Library, Charlottetown, and particularly interesting at the esexlt st e of world sffalrs.

The "New Prophecy" was written in October 1917 when the Great War was within a year of its end. On age 177 the author gives a warn- ng: "It practically amounts to this: Germany may not be broken in the present War, but subdued for a. time may prepare for a new conflict" which amounts, in itself to a pretty fair prophecy. Undoubtedly this author makes some good points. Weekly Live Stock Market Renort OTTAWA, CANIADAJAIIQ 4, 194i SUMMARY The cattle run was considerably heavier this week but the heavier marketing; were cleared briskly and at n general advance of 25 cents to 50 cents per cvvt. Since the im- position of the full rate of duty on Canadian cattle entering the United States, exports have dropped to a negligible quantity, but than was still a good demand for beef and the added numbers on Canadian inu- kets were picked up by buyers as quickly as possible. some early graSs cattle made their appearance on the market with shippers apparently taking advantage of the present strong market to liquidate cattle which were for from being finished. Calves again firm sellers, while h0g5 showed very little chart e and spring lambs became a litte more numerous and sold at strong rates. Eastern Cattle Markets There was a normal run of cattle at ‘TORONTO and they cleared quickly at prices 25 cents to 50 cents higher. The result was a new top of $13.25 established on weighty steers with most sales between $12 and $13, while butcher steers sold at $11 to $12.75 and a. few $12-85. Practl all the steel-s at MONT- REAL sod between $11 and $12.25. with one lot at $12.50 on a strong market. Good cows were taken at $9.50 to $10. In the MARITIMES. offerings on top grades advanced 25 cents nnd od to choice slurs w-ero quoted u $10.50 to $11, while other grades remained steady to strong. Western Cattle Markets The WINNIPEG cattle market was again buoyant and any dry-fen cattle offered moved out at an advance of 25 cents or more. While the total cattle. run was heavier, good butcher material did not show a. corresponding increase. Some grain cows sold lower but all finish- ed steers were brisk sellers up to a top o! $13 and rather ordinary kinds mid downward from $11.50. Good light smokers were about =teady at $9.75 to $10 50 CALGARY was strong to 25 cents up, with the best of the steer offering st $11.50 t0 $12 and a top of $12.25 and ED- MONTON had some choice butcher =tecrs up to $12.60 but mos'y $11 to $12.50 on s stronger market. The best of the steel- offering at PRINCE ALBERT made $11.75. MOOSE JAW $11 to $11.50. SASKATOON $10.75 t0 I12 and VANCOUVER had only some good heifers upto $11.
