PAEONIES 



IMPORT ORDERS 



The stock of biuh-priccd varieties of paeoniea is 

 very limited even in Holland and vfhcn a variety is 

 sold out it is almost impossible to replace it I have 

 about 25,000 paeonies prouius at Stoney Creek and in 

 the lot a number of high priced varieties in limited 

 quantities — Hut the paeonies I sell are small one year, 

 ono eyed Holland roots. By the time an order arrives 

 in Holland some vaiieties may be sold out. It is the. t- 

 fore advisahle to place orders early! Again, growers 

 hope that the U.S. will remove the quarantine which 

 forbids the importation of paeonies to the U.S. If this 

 quarantine is removed, prices 'aUI double. Send for 

 price list — ".\lsace I,orraine" $2.00, etc.

DAISY APPLE PRESSES 



FOR BOXES AND BARRELS 



THE DAISY APPLE BARREL PRESS. 



is one of the most satisfactory and efficient presses made. 

 It is used by the leading fruit growers in Canada, the 

 United States and England, because every grower who 

 wishes to handle his crop economically should have one. 



THE DAISY BOX PRESS 



is the fastest and only automatic press on the market. 

 Works simplj' by pressing with the foot, thus leaving 

 both hands free. 



WE ALSO MAKE 

 THE DAISY FOLDING APPLE SORTING TABLE. 



This is another of the famous "Daisy" apple packers' 



outfits. It is light 



usage. Folds compactly for carryin 



but strong, being built to meet rough 

 about the orchard.

Fruit Prospects in N. S. 



W. S. Blair, Experimental Farm, KentviUe. 



IT is yet too early to more than forecast the 

 possible fruit crop in the Annapolis and Corn- 

 wallis Valleys. The reports are very con- 

 flicting. The bloom on the whole was good and 

 the weather at blossoming time was warm and 

 generally bright. The temperature for the week 

 during full bloom averaged 77 degrees as the 

 maximum and 57 degrees as the minimum. The 

 3rd of June, when trees were in full bloom, was 

 dark with a light shower of .14 inches and there 

 was a further shower of .34 inches on the 4th. 

 The 4th cleared up bright, which weather con- 

 tinued during the week. It will be seen that the 

 conditions were on the whole favorable for pol- 

 lination. The bloom lasted but a few days on all 

 the later blooming varieties and the high tem- 

 perature on the 5th apparently prematurely 

 dried up the petals and by the middle of the 

 week the bloom was practically all off the trees. 



A general survey would indicate that Graven- 

 stein, Ribston, Greening, Fallawater, Wagener 

 and Mcintosh are a good set. King, Ben Davis, 

 Stark, Gano and Golden Russet fair. Baldwin 

 and Blenheim entirely off; the latter blossomed 

 in abundance but the set is light. The early 

 varieties, as Crimson Beauty, Duchess and 

 Wealthy, are a good set. The crop is_ variously 

 estimated by growers at from 40 to 75% of last 

 season. It "is probable that the crop will run 

 about 65% of last season's harvest. 



"The plum crop is likely to be good, also cherries. 

 The first ripe cherries, "Early Purple" or 

 "Earlv Purple Guigne," were picked on June 21. 

 This "is the earliest cherry we have in our 

 plantation. 



The first strawberries were harvested on June 

 17. The season is early and the prospects are 

 that only a light crop wUl be harvested. The 

 weevil has made its appearance in places and 

 will reduce the crop somewhat. 



N.S. Apples in J 92 J 



THE apple crop of the Annapolis Valley Was 

 the most successful ever grown, both from 

 a financial and quality standpoint. It is 

 understood that the average net price realized 

 from the entire crop outside of the cheaper 

 apples used in the factories, was around $3.50. 

 This means that the amount of foreign money 

 brought into the valley for apples the past year 

 amounted to around six million dollars.
