 close along the limits of IJrimsby X'illage 

 and are valued at $400 per acre by the 

 owner, Mr. Hugh Anderson. This gentle- 

 man's house is on the extreme left of the 

 picture, along the highway leading from 



the village to the park. The large build- 

 ing about the middle is Mr. H. R. Nelles' 

 Canning Factory, and in the distance, 

 the sky and the waters of Lake Ontario 

 seem to unite.

NOVA SCOTIA FRUIT GROWERS. 



L^ r^HI.S old and respectable Asso- 

 ciation held its thirty-third 

 Annual Meeting in the College 

 Hall at Wolfville, N.S , on the 

 20th of January. A small but thorough- 

 ly representative assembly was present. 

 The meeting was called to order shortly 

 after 2.30 by President Bigelow, who, 

 after calling on Rev. A. Marteli for 

 prayer, delivered his annual address, 

 from which we cull the following para- 

 graphs. 



Ladies and Gentlemen, — I have the 

 onor of again presenting to you my 



annual report, and have to record that 

 for the first time in the history of this 

 Association, owing to an unusually 

 abundant fruit crop throughout this con- 

 tinent, and a consequent overstock in 

 all our fruit markets, the fruit industry 

 has not been as remunerative as usual. 

 From the most reliable information ob- 

 tainable, I report the apple crop of Nova 

 Scotia this year at 500,000 barrels. The 

 crop in Ontario and Quebec is reported 

 to be 3,000,000 barrels, or more than 

 double of any previous year for Canada.
