THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



July, 1910 



states that it will be necessary for the citi- 

 zens of Vancouver to contribute about 

 $20,000, to insure the unqualified success of 

 the enterprise. 



The committee announces that it is not its 

 intention to make the show a fixture in 

 Vancouver, as he believes that its educa- 

 tional value will Le enhanced if in future 

 years the show is held in such cities as 

 Halifax, Montreal and Toronto. 



A Fruit Board at Orillia 



With the object of developing the fruit 

 prospects of Simcoe county a fruit board 

 has been organized in Orillia, Ont. The 

 board was formed on the initiative of the 

 Orillia Board of Trade. It is composed of 

 representatives of the Board of Trade, 



Farmers' Institute, Agricultural Society 

 and Farmers' Clubs. Mr. C. L. Stephens 

 has been elected chairman and Mr. C. H. 

 Hnre, secretary. 



The Board is recommending the fruit 

 growers of the section to specialize on four 

 varieties of apples, the Duchess, Snow, Mc- 

 intosh Red, and Pewaukee, all four variet- 

 ies of which do well in that section. The 

 Pewaukee apple was chosen as the best late 

 a))ple, the greening and the Baldwin not 

 being hardy around Orillia. 



Experiments are to be conducted in the 

 top-grafting of Spys. The Board has re- 

 (( nested the county council to make a grant 

 so that the county will be able to make a 

 display of its fruit at the Ontario Horti- 

 cultural Exhibition, Toronto, next NovomLer. 



The Board is considering ways and means 



of insuring the fruit trees bought by local 

 growers being true to name, also the b««t 

 methods of marketing the fruitof the section. 



The Visit to England 



Tho invitation to Canadian fruit grow 

 ers to visit England that was received from 

 the National Fruit Urowers' Federation un- 

 fortunately did not meet with much re- 

 sponse. It has been announced that our 

 fruit growers felt it scarcely to their advan- 

 tage to visit the fruit plantations of Eng- 

 land, it being the marketing end of the in- 

 dustry that attracts their attention there. 

 Some statements in the matter of expenses 

 also have been given as a reason for not 

 accepting. Another reason has been ad- 

 vanced in the statement that individuals
