I 



and have prepared a list of each distribu- 

 ting centre with the packages for the vari- 

 ous kinds of fruits preferred, and I believe 

 it would he to your advantage to study the 

 markets and endeavor, as far as possible, 

 to meet their requirements in this connec- 

 tion. 



Regarding sweet cherries, Winnipeg re- 

 quires them packed in the 24 deep pint 

 crate, Brandon in the four basket crate and 

 24 deep pint crate. Regina has a limited 

 demand for the 24 pint, moving the bulk of 

 the cherries in the four basket crate. Moose 

 Jaw favors the 24 pint with some lugs. 

 Lethhridge, Medicine Hat, Calgary and Ei- 

 monton desire the lug. Lethhridge, in addi- 

 tion, can handle to advantage the four bas- 

 ket. Saskatoon prefers the 24 pint crate. 

 Generally speaking, the ten pound flat is a 

 dead i.ssue as soon as the heavy cherry 

 movement is on, and, as our competitors' 

 cherries are on the market before ours there 

 is not much demand for the fiats by the 

 time our cherries arrive. 



In regard to sour cherries, Winnipeg and 

 Brandon prefer the six quart basket. Re- 

 gina can handle both in the six qt. and four 

 basket crate. Moose Jaw, Lethhridge, Medi- 

 cine Hat, Calgary and Edmonton prefer the 

 four basket crate, while Saskatoon can use 

 the four basket, but prefers six qts. 



All our centres prefer the 24 deep pint for 

 strawberries and the 24 shallow for rasp- 

 berries. The 24 pint crate is also preferred 

 tor all berries and currants. 



Plums are in favor in the four basket 

 crate, the peach box being very unpopular, 

 while prunes are desired in the S'/a inch 

 peach box. Apricots are required in the 

 four baskets only. The four basket crate 

 is proving very popular for tomatoes. 

 Brandon and Moose Jaw are the only points 

 that have spoken at all favorably of the 

 peach box. 



As I have stated before, I believe that bv 

 giving our markets consideration along the 

 lines suggested, 'by endeavoring as much as 

 possible to supply them with fruit packed 

 in the packages they prefer, we will assist 

 in increasing the demand for our produce. 

 Your competitors study this matter, and 

 have, on various occasions, obtained an ad- 

 vantage over you bv this method. It ap- 

 pears to me, particularly at this time when 

 competition is so keen, and with your rap- 

 idly increasing tonnage, which necessitates 

 you securing every available outlet, that 

 these matters merit your consideration. 



Mr. Palmer, the New Director 



The Ontario Government announces that 

 Mr. E. P. Palmer, B.S.A., has been appointed 

 to succeed Mr. F. M, Clement as director of 

 the Horticultural Experiment Station at 

 Vineland, Ont., in the Niagara District. Mr. 

 Palmer will assume his new duties early in 

 September. 



The new appointee is a comparatively 

 young man who has become best known to 

 the fruit growers of Ontario during the past 

 three years while holding the position of 

 assistant director of the Fruit Branch of the 

 Ontario Department of Agriculture. He is 

 a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural Col- 

 lege, where he specialized in horticulture. 

 His early practical training in fruit grow- 

 ing and marketing was obtained under his 

 father, R. M. Palmer, one of the well known 

 fruit growers of British Columbia. For the 

 T>ast seven years Mr. Palmer has been work- 

 ing in Ontario, and therefore, is conversant 

 with orchard conditions in the province. His 

 three years with the fruit branch has helped 

 to prepare him for the adminisfrative part 

 of the work which is very important in an 

 experiment station having the standing of
