Queen, the best white, was third, with a 

 very satisfactory yield. 



The strawberry crop, as already men- 

 tioned, dried off after the second picking, 

 and was not so good as the crop harvested 

 in 1920. Parker Earl, Senator Dunlap and 

 Glen Mary still stand at the head of the list 

 of varieties. Portia, a variety introduced 

 by Mr. Macoun, at Ottawa, has also given 

 very satisfactory yields. 



The season was also favorable for goose- 

 berries. Keepsake, Pearl and May Duke 

 have given very satisfactory returns over 

 a number of years. 



Large Fruits. 



During the period of drought, the larger 

 fruits were checked in their growth, and 

 were quite undersized at the first of August. 

 They, however, quickly recovered when the 

 rains came, and the harvest of apples, 

 plums and pears was the best for many 

 years. The cherry trees that had been 

 regularly sprayed all gave a very good 

 crop. In the province, however, very few 

 orchards of cherry trees have withstood the 

 attacks of Gnomonia (during the past ten 

 years'^, which practically defoliates the 

 orchard early in the season. The remedy is 

 regular, thorough spraying, with lime-sul- 

 phur and Bordeaux. 



Apple Sucker in Nova Scotia 



IN August, 1920, the Dominion Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture placed a quarantine 

 on Kings, Hants, Colchester, Cumber- 

 land, and part of Lunenburg counties on 

 account of the apple sucker, a pest that was 

 first discovered in Nova Scotia in 1919. 

 The quarantine prohibited the shipment of 

 nursery stock unless the shipment was ac- 

 companied by either a permit or certifi- 

 cate. As a result of scouting work carried

Honey Containers 



" ORDER THEM EARLY " 



Did you order your honey pail requirements early last year? If so, was it not very 

 satisfying to have the pails ready at your apiary in time to take the honey from your 

 storage tanks? DID IT NOT MEAN MONEY IN YOUR POCKET? 



On the other hand, if you happened to be one of the beekeepers who neglected to 

 order pails early — what was the result? You lost an early sale of honey, and zJlowed your 

 honey to granulate in the tanks. THIS MEANT A DIRECT LOSS TO YOU. 



Think it over, and decide this year to place your order in plenty of time to allow us to 

 stencil your name and have the pails at your apiary when required. 



Our illustrated circular and price list is being sent out. If you do not receive yours, 

 drop us a card.
