rapidly there is a great deal of heat gon 

 ated in the apjilo itself, and in a tij-i.^ 

 package like a barrel the h«'at is confiiit-d. 

 The high temperature c;ntinues the ripen- 

 ing proce&s and tlio ripening process gener- 

 ates more he.it and tha a)>ple8 doteriorato 

 rapidly under thos-e conditions. In a 1 

 wli'ch is more or less open, the heat escai- 

 the cooling is effeeted more rapidly, and 

 there is not the same amount of deteriora- 

 tion in a given time. I have s<>en experi- 

 ments r('port<?d with eirly varietes of apples 

 that had been placed in a constant tem- 

 perature for several days and then when a 

 thermometer was pushed into one of those 

 apples the temperature was found to be as 

 much as two degrees higher than the con- 

 stant temperature in which they are stor- 

 ed. That is the heit generated by the 

 ripening processes Chemists tell us that 

 they can by analysis determine exactly how 

 many heat unit* have been generated in 

 the rii)ening process. 



Genera'ly speaking the more matured 

 apple hiis the better flavor, and there is this 

 to be said : that the fairly well matured 

 apple, which of course is not over-ripe, will 

 keep longer and better in cold storage than 

 a green one will. That is contrary to the 

 opinion that is held by a great many 

 people. An apple ripens more rapidly after 

 it ia picked than it does on the tree. 



Fruit Reports 



Tent Caterpillars have been reported in 

 several districts. This is nothing unusual, 

 nor are there any indications that there is 

 anvthing like an extraordinary infestation 

 at any point. Nevertheless, indications are 

 not wanting that in the neighborhood o: 

 Ottawa there will be many trees defoliated 

 this year unless active measures are taken 

 to repress the Tent Caterpillars. Their 

 food plants are distributed so widely in 

 fence rows and neglected bush lots, that 

 the mild infestation of last year may pos- 

 sibly result in a serious invasion this year. 

 Orchards that are well sprayed with the 

 poisoned Bordeaux mixture will in all pro- 

 bability escape any serious injury. 



8PR.\TING 



Perhaps the most noticeable feature in 

 the reports of correspondents for this month 

 is their universal testimony to the preval- 

 ence of spraying. Everywhere orchardists 

 appear to be impressed with the necessity 

 of spraying ; and spray pumps, Bordeaux 

 mixture, and lime-sulphur mixture have 

 been used this year where they never were 

 before. It would be less remarkable if 

 these reports came from one or two sections 

 but froin Prince Edward Island to British 

 Columbia, there is a universal revival in 

 connection with combating insects and 

 fungous diseases. — Bulletin Dominion Fruit 

 Division. 



The Norfolk Ontario Fruit Growers' As- 

 sociation sold last year some 36,000 

 barrels of apples. In addition it boxed a 

 few pears. It paid to its fruit grower 

 members over $100,000 on the barrel stock 

 alone as well as $25,000 on their cull stock. 

 Who will sav that apple growing in the 

 Norfolk district does not bring handsome 

 returns ? 



At the meeting of the Western Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen at Kansas City, Mo., 

 A. J. Brown gave the following definition 

 of a nurseryman, which the Association 

 approved : "A bona-fide nurseryman is 

 one who propagates and grows trees, 

 plants and shrubs from seeds and cut- 

 tings, or by budding and grafting, or by 

 transplanting small stock for growing in- 

 to large shrubs, regardless of the number 

 of acres so grown."
