nntomologist of the Dominion Experimental 

 Farms. He presented a valuable paper 

 dealing especially with the codling moth 

 and plum ciirciilio. Dr. Hewitt made an 

 excellent impression on the members of 

 the association through his clear and com- 

 prehensive manner of treating his subject. 

 .1. M. Swaine, entomologist of Macdonald 

 College, presented a very valuable illustrat- 

 ed talk on insect pests, and answered many 

 questions in discussion. 



MISnP.LI.ANEOUS ADDRESSES 



One of the best papers at the convention 

 was that by J. C. Chapais on "Forestry and 

 the Orchardist." It was most timely and 

 practical. The value of co-operation amongst 

 fruit growers was also ably put forth 

 by G. A. Gigault, deputy minister of agri- 

 culture. Mr. Gigault as provincial repre- 

 sentative spent some time during the past 

 .summer studying conditions in the Hood 

 River district of Oregon, and other western 

 .■sections. He pointed out the great advan- 

 tages derived there through co-operation in 

 raising the standard of the fruit grown and 

 in the manner of placing it on the market. 

 Alex. McNeill, Chief of Fruit Division. Ot- 

 tawa, although unable to be present through 

 illness, sent a valuable paper on box pack- 

 ing. Professor Lochhead gave a fine address 

 on "How Plants Feed and Grow." 



Father Athanase of La Trappe presented 

 a valuable address on the growing of aspara- 

 gus in orchards. Mr. S. L. Kinney, South 

 Hero, Vt., gave an inspiring address, re- 

 lating the effect of the recent New England 

 Fruit Show on markets and consumers. At 

 that exhibition some 400 barrels and 1,000 

 boxes of fruits were on exhibition. He re- 

 commended that similar exhibits be made 

 at different commercial centers in various 

 parts of Canada. W. T. Macoun, Ottawa, 

 presented a valuable paper on plums. Ex- 



tracts from this paper will appear in a 

 later issue. 



J. A. Uuddick, Dominion dairy and cold 

 storage commissioner, gave a fine illustrated 

 address on fruit growing in different parts 

 of America, showing views of orcharding 

 in Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Oregon 

 and California. Dr. Robertson added to the 

 interest of the convention by his charac- 

 teristic inspiring address.— W.S.B. 



Vegetables at Toronto Show 



At the Ontario Horticultural Exhibition 

 in Toronto in November, there was an ex- 

 cellent display of vegetables. In the re- 

 port of the show that appeared in these 

 columns, only brief mention was made of 

 the vegetables, owing to the lack of space. 

 To supplement this we wrote to Mr. Geo. 

 Syme, jr., of West Toronto, who was the 

 judge, for his opinion of the exhibits. His 

 replv is as follows : 



"In the capacity of judge I had a good 

 opportunity to compare the vegetables with 

 other years, and I found that they compared 

 very favorably. The cabbages were not as 

 good as last year but were very fair. The 

 cauliflowers were only medium, except 

 some that were shown by Mr. Wm. Harris 

 of H\inibpr Bay, which were very good. 

 The celery was about as good as usual. The 

 salads were fine. Potatoes and onions were 

 good. The Swede turnips were the best 

 that I ever saw. Carrots, parsnips and 

 beets were very good for such a dry year. 

 Squash, marrows and citrons were better 

 than last year. Tomatoes, egg plants and 

 peppers were poor. Kale, leeks and arti- 

 chokes were fine. The general arrangement 

 of the display was very good and the com- 

 mittee deserve great credit."
