The provincial exhibition at Halifax, ow- 

 ing to its early date, August 28, and also 

 to the request of the Fruit Owners' Aeeo- 

 ciation, offered no priste li.st for fruit this 

 year, and for the first time fruit was con- 

 spicuous by its absence. 



The Horticultural Show at Wolfville Oct. 

 9th, 10th and 11th should, if a splendid 

 crop of fruit is anv indication, be the most 

 successful ever held in Nova Scotia. The 

 prize lists are tempting, the management 

 energetic and if the orchardists are not too 

 busy to bring the fruit we should have a 

 banner exhibition. 



Apples are being packed more in boxes 

 than ever before. Barrels are, of course, 

 usd bv the packers for all 1/Ut a few choice. 



Barrel-i and barrel stock are very high. 

 Barrels have reached thirty-two cents, and 

 stock is very scarce.

After having inspected a number of crates 

 of Canadian peaches recently from the Jor- 

 dan Harbor Peach Ranch, and other nf-aeh 

 sections of the Niagara Peninsuli. I felt 

 nrouder th-^n ever thit T was a Canadi.in 

 The=e peaches were put un svstematicallv 

 and carefullv in one-layer crates, wranned 

 and nadded with . wood wool and nicelv 

 stencilled. The parcel was most attractive. 

 Rome soecimens showed bright red cheeks. 

 They were still very firm and I could not 

 think otherwise than that these specimens 

 would attract much attention and that the 

 sales should return handsome profits. 



On August 21st at our auction fourteen 

 cars of California fruits, peaches. oliim«. 

 pears, grapes, nectarines, in all 12a)08 

 packages, were sold bv Mr. J. J Calachan 

 in less than three hours. This is a marvel 

 for speed. Of the lot four hundred and 

 ninetv-four packages were open for inspec- 

 tion " It mnde a very pretty sight. The fruit 

 was most beautifullv packed and landed 

 here in perfect order We on this side of 

 the line have much to learn on packing 

 anrl loading cars . , , ^ i. 



Several cars of plums in baskets have 

 landed here from Ontario loaded seven or 

 eight baskets high, causing so much weignt 

 on the lower or floor layer that the bas- 

 kets gave way and large quantities of friiit 

 on the car had to be scooped into barrels , 

 ns the baskets were completely demolished^ 

 This was the result of a lack of judgment 

 which will cost someone quite a loss. Al- 

 though some well basketed and graded 

 peaches are coming, yet a very large per- 

 centage are hail pecked and very wasty. 

 This class, of course, sell low 



Manv barrels of beautiful Bartlett pears 

 when packed arrived in very wastv condi- 

 tion. It seems too bad, as pears are not a 

 full crop. I would consider *"«»»"" ,*': 

 together unsuitable for pears. The basket 

 or box would be far safer. „„„i„, 



A word once more to those who shiP apples 

 in cattle oars, placing the ^^^-^^ o| J^« °^l; 

 rels +0 the outside. A car arrived here 

 a few days ago with five heads knocked 

 ^utTnd a^go<S part of each barrel gone^ 

 There should be more Protection f*"L t^«

 short and where w a shipper to get re-
