Kim Maser, who was looking after Canadian sources, has indicated that he no 
longer wishes 
to do it.  Many years ago I set up a database of Canadian sources, but 
happily ceded 
administration to a succession of others.  (Does anybody know what happened 
to Martin 
Waterman??)  I feel some responsibility to take up the reins again.  But 
obviously this will be 
useful only if people are willing to provide me with lists of their holdings. 
 Could I ask my 
fellow Canadian fruit afficionados to contact me if they are willing to 
contribute?  I have the 
computer skills to create a database, but it is pointless if nobody is 
willing to give me the raw 
data.  And, as I have suggested in the past, we are very much on our own with 
the effective 
closure of the border with the States.
