OWE APPLE TREES TO FRANCE
Canadians Got Their First Shoots From
Nobleman Who Was Associated
With Champlain.

II was from France that apple trees
were first brought to Canada. A French
nobleman named De Monts was asso-
ciated with Samuel de Champlain In
Frances earliest colonizing projects
In part of North America. Their first
colony was planted on the rocky island
of St Croix. now Doucett's or Neutral
island. AZ the mouth of the River ST.
Croix, which forms part of the present
boundary between New Brunswick and
the state OF Maine. After spending
there the winter Of 1604-05. the colon
lists removed To Port Royal, now An
napolis, Nova Scotia. The colonists
were getting a fOothold when their
charter was revoked by the king Of
France In 1907 and the enterprise
came TO an end. However In the fol-
lowing year Champlain founded Que
bee, and shortly afterwards De Monts
sent out To Champlain some young APP
pie trees. They were planted and grew
well. Such was the beginning Of ap-
Pile growing in Canada. Twenty years
later apple trees were introduced into
that part of ancient Acadia that now
forms the province OF Nova Scotia.

all the paved streets varying in
width that is left bare, and it would
add much to the appearance of the
streets and the homes if these spots
were beautified.
