THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



.05 



Niagara District 



F. G. H. Pattison 



The shipments of apples sent out from 

 the Grimsby-Winona section of the Niagara 

 District this year, were superior in quality 

 to those of any other apple district in the 

 Province. The reason was that the orch- 

 ards in this section were more thoroughly 

 sprayed and better cared for this season 

 than in the other districts. 



Some of the apple orchards in the Winona 

 section have had an astonishingly clean 

 crop for this season. In one of these orch- 

 ards, which I personally inspected, scarcely 

 a wormy apple could be found, and there 

 was practically no scab. The output from 

 this orchard was over 400 barrels, ones and 

 twos, with about 50 'per cent, of ones. The 

 threes and culls were mostly sold in the 

 orchard to farmers and others coming from 

 far and near, to purchase their apples from 

 the fruit belt below the mountain, there 

 being practically no apples siouth almost to 

 Lake Erie. These apples Ibrought 50 cents 

 a bushel, the buyers picking them up from 

 under the trees. 



Following are the results of a test of the 

 dry spray experiment conducted in the apple 

 orchard of W. Geddes, North Grimsby town- 

 ship, by Prof. Caesar, Provincial Entomolo- 

 gist. 



Typical trees were selected, and 100 apples 

 taken from each. From the first tree, out of 

 100 apples there were 2 wormy, none scabby. 

 The second tree had 1 wormy and no scab. 

 In Greenings, tree No. one had 4 wormy, and
