THB COUNTY EXHIBITS 



The greatest attraction of the fair, was 

 the numerous and excellent county exhibits, 

 most of which were put up through the in- 

 strumentality of cooperative fruit growers' 

 as.sociations working in conjunction with 

 the district representatives of the Ontario 

 Department of Agriculture, A particularly 

 K00<1 exhibit was that of Lanibton county. 

 On a slanting stage three hundred and fifty- 

 two boxes of apples were erected in the form 

 of a rectangle, sixteen boxes high and 

 twenty-two boxes wide. On the face of the 

 boxes a map of the county was shown in 

 red apples, the words "Lambton County" 

 appearing in Greenings, Lake Huron and 

 the St, Clair River were shown in green 

 apples with red lettering, and the adjoining 

 counties were shown in apples wrapped in 

 white paper. 



One of the most attractive exhibits at 

 the fair was that of the fruit growers of 

 Northumberland and Durham. The central 

 attraction in their exhibit was a ship 

 twenty feet long, fully equipped with decks, 

 masts, smoke stacks and rigging — and all 

 made of apples. Green apples were ar- 

 ranged around the base to give a wat^r 

 effect. In all there were eighteen barrels 

 of apples in the ship. Arranged around the 

 ship were six hundred boxes of apples of 

 stiindard varieties grown in the two coun- 

 ties. 



Along the west side of the St Lawrence 

 .\rena were arranged the exhibits of Nor- 

 folk. Elgin, Ontario and Prince Edward 

 counties. In these four exhibits were over 

 one thousand boxes of apples. Ontario 

 county leading with four hundred and fifty- 

 seven boxes. Prince Edward and Norfolk 

 had over two hundred boxes each. The 

 exhibit from Prince Edward was unfortu- 

 nately wrecked through a scaffold falling 

 when being put in place, and did not make 

 the display that it otherwise would. 



Two of the best packed exhibits in the 

 building were from Wentworth countv and 

 the Georgian Bay district, the first with one 

 hundred and nineteen boxes, the second 

 with one hundred and forty. The latter ex- 

 hibit was of particular educational value, 

 a.s all of the apples in the exhibit had been 

 grown on what three years ago were re- 

 garded as worthless orchards and utterly 

 neglected. 



The most easterly provinces of Ontario 

 had on exhibition fiftv-six boxes of their 

 favorite variety, the Mcintosh Red, An 

 exhibit put up by the Brant County Fruit 

 Growers' Association — an attractive ar- 

 rangement of boxes, barrels, plates and 

 cones — proclaimed to visitors the splendid 

 fruit growing po-ssibilities of that county. 



New Brunswick was the only other pro- 

 vince having exhibits. Fifty well packed 

 boxes of such fancy dessert varieties as 

 Fameuse. Dudley and Mcintosh showed the 

 kind of fruit that is being produced in New 

 Brunswick. 



EXHIBIT OP FLOWERS 



So attractive was the flower show that 

 f\irther decorations were not needed to or- 

 nament the Arena. The arrangement of the 

 exhibit was most pleasing, especially as one 

 entered by the main door. Banks of flow-
