THE PROVINCIAL FRUIT AND FLOWER SHOW, 



507 



Here They Are; the Fruit Growers We Read About. 



At the close of one of the sessions of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Convention, held in Toronto, November 16-18, the photographer 

 for The Canadian Horticulturist managed to round up some of the growers and to take this snap shot when they were all trying to look 

 their best. Starting with the bashful gentleman on the extreme left, Mr. W. T. Macoun, of Ottawa, the other gentUmen in the front 

 row are Messrs. Thos. Beall, of Lindsay; J. L. Hilborn, of Leamington; A. E. Sherrington, of Walkerion ; W. H. Bunting, of St. 

 Catharines; Harold Powell, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington ; E. Moms, Fonthill ; J. S. Scarff, of Woodstock; Harold 

 Jones, of Maitland; and Prof. H. L. Hutt, of Guelph. A number of other well known horticulturists are in thi group, but their 

 positions cannot be described definitely. 



ciation to take such steps as may seem ad- 

 visable to continue the identification of the 

 association with the united show. 



The opening meeting of the convention 

 Thursday morning was largely devoted to 

 business. This included the consideration 

 of the president's address, the appointment 

 of committees and the hearing of reports. 



In the afternoon Mr. G. H. Powell, of 

 Washington, D. C, gave a valuable address 

 on " Cold Storage," a liberal extract from 

 which is published in this issue. " Fruit 

 Shipments to Winnipeg " was the subject 

 of an address by Prof. Reynolds, of Guelph. 

 The results of this shipment have already 

 been made known through The Horticultur- 

 ist. The important subject " The Condi- 

 tions Surrounding the Canned Fruit Indus- 

 try," was handled by Mr. W. P. Gamble, -)f 

 the O. A. C, Guelph. This address is pub- 

 lished in full in this number of I'he Horti- 

 culturist. 



The fruit experimenters had the Wednes- 

 day evening meeting all to themselves. The 

 chairman was Mr. G. C. Creelman, of 

 Guelph, the chairman of the Board of Fruit 



Experiment Stations. Reports were re- 

 ceived from the various experiment sta- 

 tions and were of a most interesting ature. 

 Outlines of these reports will be duly pub- 

 lished in The Horticulturist. 



The two sessions of the Fruit Growers' 

 Association on Friday were both extremely 

 interesting. In the morning the subjects 

 dis cussed and the speakers were " Fungous 

 Diseases of the Grape," by Prof. Lochhcad, 

 of Guelph, and Mr. W. T. Macoun, of Ot- 

 tawa ; and " Latest Results of Spraying 'or 

 the San Jose Scale," by Prof. R. Harcourt, 

 of Guelph, and Inspector J. F. Smith of 

 Glanford. Several of these addresses p- 

 pear in this issue of The Horti :ulturist. 



The closing session of the Fruit Growers' 

 Association was devoted to the consideration 

 of cooperative work in 1904 and proved a 

 most interesting gathering. The speakers 

 were Messrs. /v. E. Sherrington, of Walker- 

 ton ; D. Johnson, of Forest ; Elmer Lick, of 

 Oshawa; Robert Thompson, of St. Catha- 

 rines, and A. W. Peart, of Burlington. A
