CROP PROSPECTS 



The apple crop is promising, but the plum 

 crop will be very liglit. Cherries are a fail- 

 ure, small fruits abundant The orchard 

 area has greatly increased. Better and 

 more suitable varieties adapted to our 

 northern latitude have been planted. On- 

 tario nurserymen who advertise in The Hor- 

 ticulturist instruct their agents to sell only 

 varieties which mature their wood quickly 

 and forbid them to sell Baldwin, King of 

 Tombkins, R. I. Greening. Nowton Pippin 

 trees all of popular varieties but needing a 

 longer season of vegetation than ours. Un- 

 scrupulous jobbers a few years ago sold in 

 our districts a great number of those varie- 

 ties which have all died. It was a great loes 

 which discouraged the farmers who lost con- 

 fidence in nursery grown trees. Nursery- 

 men advertising for agents mentioning that 

 "no experience in fruit culture is required 

 of salesmen" should not be trusted. The 

 sales of fruit and ornamental trees of flow- 

 ering shrubs by nurserymen of Quebec and 

 Ontario provinces have doubled this year. 

 The V^illage des Aulnaies has increased its 

 area considerably and being the most north- 

 ern nursery of Canada can fill orders for 

 dormant trees much later in spring than 

 the western nurseries. 



The multiplying of Damson and Reine 

 Claude plums on own roots (not grafted) is 

 a speciality here and deserves the extensive 

 propagation it has acquired on account of 

 the delicious quality of their fruits and the 

 hardiness of the trees which once planted 

 la«t eighty to one hundred years. 



Georgian Bay District, Ont. 



The fruit growers of the Georgian Bay 

 District are making a big effort to grow 

 clean apnles this year. Although some few 

 growers have sprayed for some years, last 

 year was the first year spraying was under- 

 taken on a large scale. It was so success- 

 ful that this year a larsre quantity of ma- 

 terial has been used. Four cars of lime- 

 sulphur, besides some home boiled, have 

 been used by the Georgian Bay Fruit Grow- 

 ers, Ltd., and four tons of arsenate of lead 

 so we expect neither scabby nor wormy 

 apnles. 



The orchard of Mr. Wm. Reekie, the 

 president of The Georgian Bay Fruit Grow- 

 ers, Ltd.. has been properlv sprayed, 

 pruned, fertilized, and is well worth a 

 visit. It is likelv to have one hundred and 

 fifty to two hundred bbls. per acre. It con- 

 tains principally Gravenstein, Snow, Spy, 

 Baldwin, and Spitz. 



Thp manager's orchard. J. G. Mitchell, 

 will likelv average four to five barrels per 

 tree of thirteen-year-old Sp.vs. Some fruit- 

 ed at eight years, and have been bearing 

 everv year since, showing the effect of good 

 cultivation and proper pruning. Mr. 

 Mitchell believe\S in early training. The 

 old orchard is also well worth a visit. The 

 writer was particularly struck with the 

 appearance of a young orchard of 1 .140 

 trees planted on the filler system one hun- 

 dred trees per acre. The main orchard 

 will be Baldwin, fillers, chiefly Wealthv and 

 Duchess. The orchard has been fertilized 

 with nitrogen, ohosphate and potash, and 

 the growth of the trees has been extra. 



The Georgian Bay Fruit Growers, Ltd., 

 have about one hundred and fifty acres in 

 bearing, and expect to plant one hundred 

 to one hundred and fiftv acres next. spring. 



There are a lar^e number of sm.aller or- 

 chards here in Thornbury. orobably two 

 htindred acres more. We also have a branch 

 of The National Land Fruit and Packing 

 Co., Ltd.. here. Cant. Ferguson, who is in
