Peaches for "England 



Alex. C. Biggs, OakvUle, Ont. 



Our customers in Great Britain who 

 ordered peaches from us last year wero' 

 delighted with the fruit we sent and witli 

 its condition en arrival. On the whole 

 our last year's shipments were a decided 

 success. 



This year we have sent out 1,000 circulars 

 to our customers asking orders for peaches 

 delivered anywhere in Great Britain. We 

 see no reason why wo should not shijj these 

 goods to the Old Country. We have had 

 considerable correspondence with our Trade 

 Commissioner, Mr. W. A. MacKinnon, of 

 Hirmingham, who is an expert on fruit, 

 and he has pointed out to us the mode in 

 which he considers this fruit should be 

 packed, and wo are endeavoring to follow 

 cut his instructions, and hope to be suc- 

 cessful with a much larger quantity than 

 we shipped last year. We are planning 

 to deliver these from Glasgow, Liverpool, 

 London and Bristol, and are negotiating 

 for space on the different lines to these 

 ports. 



mere is one great obstacle standing in 

 the way cf this line of trade. That is the 

 need for a cheap fast service between the 

 fruit districts and Montreal. It is true, 

 we can ship by express but that is very 

 costly and takes the profit in comparison 

 with freight rates. If the Government only 

 owned the railroads this trouble would be 

 overcome, and not cnly would the ship- 

 ment of this kind of fruit for export re- 

 ceive an impetus, but many others would 

 receive the same benefit. We cannot use 

 refrigerator cars unless there is a full 

 car lot which might be a costly specula- 

 tion for individuals to engage in. Under 

 present conditions we are forced to ship 

 often, in small quantities, by various 

 routes, and by the fastest service that can 

 be obtained. 



English Tomatoes 



A shipment of fine English tomatoes was 

 received recently by Mr. J. Lockie Wilson, 

 Superintendent of Agricultural Societies 

 for Ontario, which had been forwarded by 

 the Koyal Edward, taking just six days 

 and three-quarters. The box contained 

 tomatoes in three stages of ripeness. They 

 were grown in the county of Kent. Several 

 persons who tasted them and compared 

 them with Canadian-grown tomatoes with- 

 out knowing which was which preferred 

 the home-grown product, as richer in flavor. 

 The home fruit is also firmer and larger. 



The English tomatoes appeared to have 

 been grown under glass. Mr. Wilson has 

 shipped in return three boxes of Canadian 

 tomatoes. A larger quantity will be sent 

 in September, along with a shipment of 

 peaches.
