THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



was said that the barrel was handy for transit, 

 but they wanted something' that the average 

 assistant could carry about, and by having dif- 

 ferent packages they could have four or five 

 different kinds of apples. 



Councillor Shirley seconded the motion, and 

 said that if properly packed the apples would 

 be worth double the price. Mr. Oliver sup- 

 ported the resolution, and suggested that the 

 apples should be of uniform size, and the con- 

 tents of the packages graded in a similar man- 

 ner to California plums. 



Mr. J. W. Thomas suggested that the pack- 



ers should put the same apples in the bottom 

 as on the top. (Laughter.) Mr. Weeden said 

 that in Tasmania he saw thousands of boxes of 

 fruit being packed, and the apples were packed 

 in boxes and not barrels, which appeared to 

 him much the better plan. 



The chairman said he wished they couFd find 

 some kind of package which would preserve 

 the flavor of the apple. His experience lately 

 was that when the apples got to him there was 

 little of the flavor of apples about them. (Hear, 

 hear.) The resolution was carried.
