The individual exhibits of fruit in oom- 

 mercial packages were good, but the ar- 

 rangement oould have been improved 

 Boxes and half boxes of pears were plac<'; 

 together, and there was no uniformity in 

 the style of boxes used. While the differ- 

 ence in the dimensions of the boxes used 

 was not usually more than from half to 

 three-quarters of an inch in the length or 

 height, it was still enough to detract con- 

 siderably from the general appearance of 

 the exhibit. Poor judgment was aJso ahown 

 in placing .some of tho boxes where it was 

 impossible for spectators to see what the 

 box contained. A first prize box of peaches 

 was placed where it was impossible to see 

 more than the sides and bottom of the box 

 without the aid of a chair. A number of 

 box covers piled on top of the commercial 

 display was an eyesore which could easily 

 have been prevented. 



ONTARIO EXHIBIT 



The display of fruit was the best ever put 

 up by the province. This exhibit was well 

 located and displayed to excellent advan- 

 tage. The only county exhibit was tJiat of 

 LamLton county. The quality of the fruit 

 in this exhibit was splendid. Some of the 

 finest peaches seen at the exhibition 

 formed part of this display. It was a 

 good exhibit of the fruit growing possibil- 

 ities of Lambton county.
