The Horticultural Exhibition 



Arrangements already completed indicate 

 that the Ontario Horticulural Fxhibition, 

 which will le held in Toronto, November 

 14-i<J w'ill be larger and better than ever. 

 The exhibition itself premises to De ot un- 

 usual interest as there will be some addi- 

 tional district displays, notably those froni 

 Northumberland and Durham and Leed.-) 

 and Grenville counties. Ontario and JS'or- 

 folk counties will also be on hand with a 

 possibility that Prince Edward will also put 

 up a small, but attractive display. In ad- 

 dition there will be educax.iuuai exmoits, 

 with particular reference to spraying, from 

 the Jordan Horticultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion and the demonstration orchards of Not- 

 tawasaga Township, Simcoe county. 



Changes have been made in the prize list 

 so as to call for additional varieties of speci- 

 men apples. Two sections have been added 

 for skill in packing, giving 75 per cent, of 

 the points for that part cf the work A class 

 has also been added for five box displays of 

 Spy and Baldwin, also a class calling for 

 ten plates each of Baldwin, Greening, King 

 and Spy. These new sections should add 

 greatly to the value of the exhibition from 

 an educational standpoint. 



The Womens' Institutes are holding their 

 big convention on Nov. 17 and 18, and the 

 exhibit of preserved fruits, jams and jellies 

 will be under their control. There is a possi- 

 bility that Mr. James E. Johnson, for the 

 Norfolk Fruit Growers' .associaHon, win 

 put up a car load cf boxed apples. This 

 vrill be something entirely unique and a new 

 feature at this exhibition. 



Pilfering by Express Employes 



Mr. W. H. Bunting, of St. Catharines, 

 who has represented the fruit growers of 

 Ontario before the railway commission on 

 several occasions most successfully, is col- 

 lecting evidence in regard to the exces- 

 sive amount of" fruit stolen from packages 

 by employees of the express companies 

 while the fruit is in transit. Mr. Bunting 

 recently laid evidence of twelve cases be- 

 fore one cf the heads of a leading ex- 

 press company, without receiving practi- 

 cally any satisfaction. 



The representative of the company 

 claimed that the fruit growers frequently 

 pack their fruit very poorly and blame re- 

 sultant losses on the express companies, and 

 intimated that the amount of fruit stolen 

 was comparatively insignificant in quan- 

 tity. The matter will not be allowed to 

 stand in this position. 



The cargo inspector for the Canadian 

 Department of Agriculture at Glasgow, Mr. 

 James A. Findlay, reports that the four 

 firms. Messrs. Simons, Jacobs & Co., Jas. 

 Lindsay & Sons, L. and H. Williams & Co., 

 and Mr. Thomas Russell, who handle large 

 quantities of Canadian fruit, have estab- 

 lished one of the finest salerooms in the 

 United Kingdom. It accommodates the 

 bulk of the apple buyers, whereas under for- 

 mer conditions, when individual sales pre- 

 vailed, the buyers were scattered and the 

 purchasing power of the market was limited 

 to a certain extent.
