 chine. I have no hesitation 

 in recommending it to anyone who requires

 is excellent, and I do not know oit any other 

 hand machine for the price that could do 

 better work." E. D. Smith, Ex-M.P.

Ontario and other fruit growing provinces 

 of Canada,— we oan, by taking; thought, 

 make our land more- suitable for apple 

 growing, ensuring the success of our newly 

 set apple trees, anfl thereby greatly increase 

 our land in prodnctivenesw and in rcil value. 



Quality Spells Success* 



W. H. Bmiliot, St. Cathtrinei, Onl. 



It was my privilpge to vi.sit onr or two 

 important sections of the United States in 

 <">nnection with my recent tour of the fruit- 

 growing districts of Canada. The one tWne 

 that impressed mo most strongly, amongst 

 our cousins to the south, wa« "the strong 

 emphasis placed on the question of quality 

 by those who were most successful. Every 

 r)08.sible method that will' secure quality, 

 finish andbenuty of apjiearance in the pro- 

 duct is being sought by mnny of these men 

 and adopted. The result is apparent in the 

 high prices which are now being obtained 

 for Hood River, Wenatchee and Yakima 

 .npples, and in the reputation which many 

 y^.-.v York State leaders have established 

 in the principal and most discriminating 

 markets of the east. 



While in the older fruit sections of the 

 Dominion insect pests and fungous disease.s 

 have obtained a strong foothold, and hav.i 

 caused great loss and damage, such progress 

 has been made in the di.soovery of remedies 

 and methods of control that in the majority 

 of ca-ses the alert frui<^grower need not fear 

 disaster from these causes. Climatic con- 

 ditions may on occasion threaten his very 

 existence. They should .serve to awaken 

 greater perseverance and determination. 

 The disappointments that occur at times 

 should develop a resourcefulness in over- 

 coming difficulties, and promote a strength 

 of character worthy of admiration. 



It has been demonstrated over and over 

 agiin, in every province of tJie Dominion, 

 t^iat while there is a very largo surplus of 

 indifferent fruit produce-l and offered to 

 the public, the market never has been, and 

 will not for years to come, be fully supplied 

 with fruit th.it can called strictly" "fancy." 

 Altogether apart from the satisfaction de- 

 rived from handling a first-class article, 

 permanent pecuniary success depends upon 

 a proper appreciation of this fact. 



If I can give the Canadian fruit-grower a 

 more thorough realizntion of the value and 

 importance, not only to himself but to the 

 country at large, of leaving no stone un- 

 turned and sparing no effort to secure the 

 very highest quality and establish the very 

 highest standard in every detail of his busi- 

 ness, then I hope that the time and effort 

 spent in making this investigation will re- 

 sult in giving some little impetus to the 

 fruit industry of Canada.
