Plums : The dealers at Winnipeg- seemed somewhat timid in pur- 

 chasing the plums, and did not offer high prices, although the fruit was 

 in good condition. In terms of the 11-quart basket, the Reine Claude 

 plums netted 47 cents, the Yellow Egg 54 cents, and the Grand Duke 

 and Glass 48 cents. These prices are of course much below Ontario prices 

 this year, and would not be considered high at any time. 



Package, — 12-tray crate, 10 in, x 11 in, x 21 in. ; 27 pounds of fruit, 



St, Catharines. 



Packag-e, — 2-basket crate ; 20 pounds of fruit. 

 Grimsby, 



Fig. 8 shows the 2-basket-crate, and the condition of the plums at Winnipeg. 

 The basket at the left contains Yellow Egg, the other Grand Duke. The spotted 

 appearance of the latter is due to the partial bloom remaining on the fruit. 

 These plums are shown just as they were opened up, and, as may be seen, are 

 quite sound.
