WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT THE EXHIBITION 



DURING the progress of The Ontario 

 Horticultural Exhibition, held in To- 

 ronto last month, The Horticulturist gath- 

 ered the following expressions of opinion 

 from leading people present : 



This is a grand exhibition. Ihe display 

 of packages and packing is a desirable edu- 

 cational feature. — (C. M. Honsberger, Jor- 

 dan Station. 



It is a great exhibition and a credit to On- 

 tario fruit growers. — (J. C. Harris, Inger- 

 soll. 



It is a fine display and shows the varia- 

 tion of color from south to north. The ex- 

 hibit of boxed fruit is specially striking. — 

 (Norman Jack, Chateaguay Basin, Que. 



This exhibition should be of the greatest 

 value to the country. The people are 

 sliown what can be grown in Ontario or- 

 chards and what are the best methods of 

 packing. Together with the flowers it is an 

 excellent display. — (Elmer Lick, Oshawa. 



For quantity, color and variety it is a 

 great show. The citizens of Toronto do 

 not know what they are missing or more 

 would come to see the display. — (Robert 

 Thompson, St. Catharines. 



The quality of the fruit is much superior 

 to that shown last year. Altogether there is 

 a marked improvement. — (W. E. A. Peer, 

 Burlington. 



This is the best show in the history of the 

 Fruit Growers' Association. The worst 

 feature is that it is not better patronized by 

 the citizens of Toronto. — (W. W. Hilborn, 

 Leamington. 



It is the finest show of its kind ever held 

 on this continent. Everything is attractive 

 and the commercial packages and displays 

 from the experiment stations are decidedly 

 educational. A special advance has been 

 made in the canned fruit exhibit. This will 

 tend to educate the people to use such goods. 

 — (Prof. H. L. Hutt, O.A.C., Guelph. 



The show is grand in every respect. The 

 pyramids of fruit are very attractive and 



the exhibits from the" experiment stations 

 better than usual. — (W. H. Dempsey, Tren- 

 ton. 



It is the best display ever made in Canada 

 and decidedly creditable to the fruit grow- 

 ers of Ontario. — (W. H. Bunting, St. 

 Catharines. 



This exhibition should prove a great 

 benefit to the grower who takes the trouble 

 to investigate and follow out the points de- 

 monstrated and suggested. The apprecia- 

 tion shown by the citizens of Toronto is not 

 very encouraging. Many growers have 

 spent $30 or $40 to help make this show 

 what it is, and the citizens will not spend a 

 few cents to see the display. — (W. Arm- 

 strong, Queenston. 



The commercial display is magnificent. 

 This show should result in an enormous in- 

 crease in the consumption of apples and 

 other fruit in this city. — (W. L. Smith, To- 

 ronto. 



The transition since the first meeting of 

 the Fruit Growers' Association is some- 

 thing remarkable. The display from the 

 different experiment stations is very en- 

 couraging. — (A. M. Smith, St. Catharines. 



The vegetable exhibit exceeded my ex- 

 pectations 200 per cent, as regards the num- 

 ber of exhibits and their quality. If this 

 exhibition becomes an annual affair the 

 vegetable growers will fill thd basement of 

 Alassey Hall with their exhibits. — (A. Me- 

 xicans, Brantford, Ont. 



The exhibits of vegetables greatly ex- 

 ceeded my expectations. They are a great 

 credit to the exhibitors and to the manage- 

 ment of the show. — (W. G. Carter, Dover- 

 court, Ont. 



The exhibit of vegetables is a decided suc- 

 cess and the quality is excellent. — (T. Del- 

 worth. Weston, Ont. 



It is the best exhibit of vegetables I have 

 seen in Canada. I did not expect to see as 

 good vegetables at this time of year. — (J. 

 Gibbard, Doncaster, Ont.
