There are several Canadian nurseries that specialize in plants for your
climate.  One of the best is

	Corn Hill Nursery
	RR 5
	Petitcodiac, N.B.
	E0A 2H0

	(506) 756-3635

They have a large assortment of apples, especially heirloom and disease-
resistant varieties, for zone 5 and colder, on hardy rootstocks, including
Ottawa 3, a very hardy dwarfing rootstock.  Also pears, plums, cherries,
berries and a lot of hardy ornamentals including an impressive selection of
hardy own-root roses.

You could also try

	Sursum Corda
	RR #3
	Scotstown, Quebec
	J0B 3B0

which specializes in very hardy tree fruits.

In Newfoundland, your problems are more likely to be the cool summers
than the winter cold.  It might be best not to select very late varieties
that may not have time to ripen.

Some prairie nurseries that specialize in plants for the conditions in
that area (bitter winters, hot summers, drought and wind):

	Beaverlodge Nursery
	Box 127
	Beaverlodge, Alberta
	T0H 0C0

	Boughen Nurseries
	Box 12
	Valley River, Manitoba
	R0L 2B0

If you pick up a Canadian gardening magazine in the winter or early
spring, you will find ads for more mail-order nurseries.

  Just some seeds from this really great catalog, it has many rare
fruit seeds, and not to mention many plants used by shamans and
really interesting catalog it has much information about the history
of many plants...not really all that huge, but it is well worth it.  
     I found them to delivery seeds in about a month , i guess that
is not to bad.     their address is
L.E.R (legendary Ethnobotanical resources)., P.O. Box 1676, miami fl
33233, they ask $2 per catalog......
they also do COD shipping by phone.
