The Rosy Bloom 

 On a Woman's Cheek 



Is the most alluring beauty in the 

 world. It is a prize within reach 

 of almost every woman, if she will 

 but give proper attention to her skin 

 and her general health. 



The evil effects of raw winds, dust, extreme 

 cold, v/orking in overheated and steamy rooms or 

 in bad air, can be counteracted by using 



NA-DRU-CO 



Ruby Rose Cold Cream 



This Is a snowy-white preparation with a delicate rose 

 perfume. It cleanses the skin, nourishes and fills out the deeper 

 tissues, smoothes out wrinkles and imparts a velvety softness, 

 free from roughness, redness or chaps. It keeps the skin 

 healthy, and Nature supplies the rosy bloom.

 he onco mado to the effect that tht> prov- 

 ince of Quebec produces the be«t apples 

 grown anywhere in Canada. In defence of 

 this remark he laughingly contended that 

 King George buys the applet for his per- 

 sonal use from Quebec. Hon. Mr. Fisher, 

 who called and presided at the Conference 

 held in 1896. stated that he had had threi' 

 objects in view in calling it. The same ob- 

 jects he presumed had lerl to the calling of 

 this year's conference. These were first, 

 to find what were the needs of the fruit 

 industry; second, to obtain the advice of 

 experts, and third, to consider the best 

 means of promoting the industry on broad 

 national lines. 



CO-OPERATION 



Mr. Alex. McXeil. Chief of the fruit di- 

 vision, gave an excellent address on "Co- 

 oneration and Fruit Growing." He dealt 

 with the present status and advantages to 

 be derived by cooneration pnd defined some 

 of the problems that confront those who de- 

 !»ire to cooperate. Some of the successes 

 that have attended co-operative associations 

 were noted and .suggestions offered for fur- 

 ther and new lines of work. One of the 

 principal points Mr. McNeill made was 

 that there is a radical difference between 

 joint stock companies and co-operative as- 

 sociations. The object of the former is to 

 earn profits upon the capital invest-ed. 

 while the object of the latter is to obtain 

 better prices for the products of their mem- 

 bers. Joint stock companies are a town- 

 made institution which cannot be grafted 

 with success on the country di.stricts. We 

 expect to publish a fuller outline of this 

 address in a later issue. 



NEW FRTTITS 



"New Varieties of Fruits." was the sub- 

 ject of a paper read by Mr. W. T. Macoun. 

 Dominion Horticulturist, of the Central 

 Experimental Farm. Ottawa. Mr. Macoun 

 contended that while most of the standard 

 varieties of fruit grown to-day were origi- 

 nated a hundred years ago, this does not 

 Drove that fully as good varieties cannot 

 be originated to-day. He told how some of 

 the old varieties were originated and de- 

 scribed the work that has been done in Can- 

 ada to develop new varieties. We expect 

 to publish a fuller outline of this address 

 later. 



COLD STOR.VGE 



At the opening session Thursday morning 

 Mr. J. A.Euddick read a paper entitled 

 "Refrigeration in Relation to the Fruit 

 Growing Industry." A portion of this 

 paper is publi-shed elsewhere in this issue, 

 and the balance will be given later. 



The balance of this session was devoted 

 to a discussion of fruit packages, including 

 their size^s and legal dimensions. Much in- 

 teresting inform' tion was brought out dtir- 

 ing the discussions, most of which we will 

 publish later. The discussions were con- 

 cluded by referring the points raised to 

 various committees for further consider- 

 ation. 



CENSUS FIGURES DIS.^PPOINTING 



Comparative statistics of the fruit grow- 

 ing industry in Canada for the years liK)! 

 and 1911, as taken from the census returns, 

 were given bv Mr. W. W. Moore, Chief of 

 the Markets Division, at the Thiirsday af- 

 ternoon session. The figures quot^ni proved 

 disappointing. Instead of showing an in- 

 crease in the number of fruit trees in Can- 

 ada since 1901, an actual decrease of 315,641 

 trees, including over 2,000,000 in the bear- 

 ing trees, was reported.
