 Mr. W. T. Macoun, 

 is the eldest son of 

 xMr. Wm. H. Bunt- 

 ing, of St. Cathar- 

 ines, Ont., one of the 

 most successful and 

 best known fruit 

 growers in Canada. 

 Mr. T. G. Bunting 

 is a graduate from

 I'M, . Jn addition to his College course, Mr.

 travelled extensively through the fruit sec- 

 tions of the Pacific coast and has spent

 ticultural department of J\'evv Hampshire

Shipping Strawberries West 



The bt. Catharines Cold Storage and 

 Forwarding Co., on June 24 shipped a 

 Grand Trflnk Pacific refrigerator car full of 

 strawberries, the product of fourteen grow- 

 ers, to Winnipeg. The car was expected to 

 arrive at noon on the 29th, but did not ar- 

 rive until the afternoon of the 30th. The ber- 

 ries were all unloaded the same afternoon, 

 .-iithougii they had been six days in transit 

 tiiey were found to be in excellent condition. 

 They were sold to the restaurants at $3.oU 

 a crate. Had it not been that the following 

 day was a holiday they might have been 

 sold for $-1 a crate. 



Mr. Robert Thompson, the president of 

 the St. Catharines Cold Storage Co., who 

 has done much to develop the trade in 

 tender fruit between Ontario and the west, 

 and who had charge of this shipment, be- 

 lieves that with the experience gained as 

 legards the proper stage at which to \ik-k 

 the berries and the way to load the cars, 

 that next year ten or twelve cars will be 

 forwarded. 



About the middle of July a car of red 

 currants, red cherries and gooseberries and 

 some vegetables were forwarded from St. 

 Catharines to the same market. Mr. Thomp- 

 son contends that if Ontario fruit is proper- 

 ly gathered, packed in the right packages, 

 chilled, and loaded in ventilated cars the 

 v\esteru market will absorb all the surplus 

 tender fruit that the eastern markets cannot 

 take. 



Canadian Tender Fruit in 

 England 



After a trip to Fiigland, in tlie course 

 of which he made careful inquiries in regard 

 to the conditions of the fruit markets there, 

 Mr. J. Lockie Wilson, Superintendent of 

 Horticultural Societies for Ontario and Sec- 

 retary of the Ontario Vegetable Growers 

 Association has returned witli the belief that 

 it is possible to greatly develop Canadian 

 trade with Great Britain in tender fruits. 

 "I believe," said Mr. Wilson, "that the 

 slupment of Ontario peaches to tht^ old 

 country can ho made a profitable trade. 

 I'eachos have sold iu Covent Garden Market
