THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



January, 1910 



John Richards, led tho discussion which 

 followed and showed himself in full sym- 

 pathy with the work. Ho said he had 

 visited British Columbia last fall and had 

 eaten apples in the Okanagan Valley but 

 did not think tho flavor nearly as good 

 as our own home-grown fruit. 



Several growers spoko of beneficial re-

suits from tho use of the lime-sulphur solu- 

 tion sprayed on to tho trees cleaning them 

 of bark lice and making the foliage glossy 

 and the whole tree healthy and thrifty. The 

 formula used was about 25 lbs. of lime 

 and 15 to 18 lbs. of sulphur to 40 gallons 

 of water. 



So with very little of expert theory but 

 a groat deal of interchange of ideas on prac- 

 tical work, the meeting of Prince Edward 

 Island Fruit Growers' Association came to 

 nn end. Prof. Tlieodore Ross, the energetic 

 secretary was also of great benefit to the 

 convention. 



New Brunswick 



For the production of roots and all veg- 

 etables of the highest quality for culinary 

 and market purposes, New Brunswick 

 stands unexcelled on the American contin- 

 ent. The reputation which our potatoes, as

well as our turnips and garden vegetables 

 enjoy everywhere they have been sold, shows 

 that with proper business methods, we can 

 secure the highest prices on every market 

 where it is possible to place them. 



Recent experiments in Ontario show that 

 the maritime province iiotatoes used as seed 

 give a much larger yield than Ontario 

 grown seed, and when this fact becomes 

 generally known, there should be a perman- 

 ent demand for New Brunswick potatoe« 

 in that province and perhaps elsewhere for 

 seed {purposes. The same high reputation 

 the potatoes of Aroostook county, Maine, 

 have throughout the United States, may be 

 obtained for New Brunswick potatoes 

 throughout Canada. In spite of the high 

 tarifi against them, our potatoes almost ev- 

 ery year find a sale in the Boston market 

 where they are distributed more or less for 

 seed purposes. New Brunswick turnips 

 from Charlotte county and the St. John 

 Valley have gone forward in considerable 

 quantities to Boston where they grade 

 highest in quality.— From Report of New 

 Brunswick Agricultural Commission.

Meetings were held last month in con- 

 nection with the proposed railway which 

 is to run through the richest section of 

 the apple belt in northern King's county. 

 This fruit land under the shadow of the 

 North Mountain consists of heavy loam and 

 clay; and though very productive, the 

 farmers are at a disadvantage when it 

 comes to hauling their produce over muddy 

 roads which are almost impassable in wet 

 weather. . .
