Ontario Vegetable Growers 



The annual meetinp; of the Ontario Veg- 

 otable Growers' Association was held in To- 

 ronto on Feb. 8, with the president, T. 

 Delworth, "Weston, in the chair. The follow- 

 ing directors were present : F. G. Fuller, 

 London; F. Whitehead, London; E. H. 

 Titterington, St. Thomas; J. W. Rush and 

 James Dandridge, Humber Bay; C. H. 

 Weaver, Dunnville; G. H. Pood, London; 

 R. H. Lewis, Hamilton; C. W. Baker, By- 

 ron; J. Dngal, Tecumseh; Geo. Syme, jr., 

 Toronto ; Wm. Broughton, Sarnia ; T. A. 

 Newton, Woodstock; F. F. Reeves, Humber 

 Bay : and the secretary, J. Lockie Wilson, 

 Toronto. 



The financial statement showed a balance 

 on hand of $53.12. It was decided to hold 

 the next convention in London during hte 

 time of the Western Fair. The matter of 

 changing the name of the association was 

 left in the hands of the executive. A mo- 

 tion to assist the Dunnville branch in get- 

 ting express rates on vegetables readjusted 

 was carried. 



The need for a revision of standard weights 

 of vegetables was brought up by Mr. Rush, 

 who suggested the following as fair : Par- 

 snips, per bush, 45 lbs. ; carrots, 50 lbs. ; 

 beets, 50 lbs. : artichokes, 56 lbs. As the 

 standard now is 60 lbs. for all and commis- 

 sion houses buy by weight the result is a 

 loss to the grower. Potatoes should have a 

 standard of 75 lbs. instead of 90 lbs. as they 

 are frequently sold in sugar bags which only 

 hold one and one-quarter bushels and weigh 

 75 lbs. The executive was instructed to ask 

 the Dominion government to fix the above 

 standards for vegetables. 



Officers were elected as follows : Pres. T. 

 Delworth. Weston; 1st vice-pres., P. G. Ful- 

 ler, London ; 2nd vice-pres., T. A. Newton, 

 Woodstock; executive committee; T. Del-

Have you found suitable varieties 

 for your soil and section ? 



The beginner should make his 

 trials wide to arrive at this. 



Professionals should bear in mind 

 the best variety is always moving for- 

 ward. 



A trial patch is very interesting, 

 and inexpensive, and leads to im- 

 provements that increase the effec- 

 tiveness of one's work for all time. 



I have some of the best varieties 

 of both these fruits.
