and over one quarter of all fruit grown. Better 

 packing had been maintained and only six per 

 cent, of all fruit exported was reported as slacks. 

 The United Fruit Companies brand is now well 

 established on the export market and is in good 

 demand. 



'^Reports were presented by S. S. Self ridge, re- 

 presentative sent out to the Western Provinces, 

 Inspector Ramsey, Inspector Westcott, on 

 potatoes, and R. N. Clark, representative who 

 annually visits Havana looking after the potato 

 shipments. Captain J. W. Salter was able to 

 report a very good year in the business of the 

 canning factory and cider plant. 



W. S. Blair, director, Experimental Farm, 

 Kentville, was called upon to give his report on 

 fruit conditions as he found them wnile in Eng- 

 land attending the Imperial Fruit Show, and he 

 most satisfactorily dealt with the subject. 

 All the officers were re-elected as follows: 

 Pres., F. W. Bishop, Lawrencetown ; vice- 

 pres., E. H. Johnson, Wolfville; sec.-treas., K. L- 

 Pineo, Kentville; auditors, Oxley and Johnson, 

 Halifax. 



Berwick usually leads the rest of the An- 

 napolis Valley in the early shipment of season- 

 able fruit. This year this great apple producing 

 section established a record in marketing the 

 first apples of the 1922 crop on July 25. On 

 that date, H. B. lUsley shipped to HaHfax, one 

 barrel and 15 baskets of Astrachans. Can any 

 other fruit section of the Valley beat this? —

Apple Crop in N.B. 



THE apple orchards of New Brunswick give 

 promise of an excellent general crop this 

 this year, according to A. G. Turney, 

 Provincial Horticulturist. Early apples such as 

 the Duchess, Wealthy and Dudley, will be a 

 good crop. Fameuse and Mcintosh, the dessert 

 varieties which brought fame to New Brunswick 

 at the Imperial Fruit Show at London, last year, 

 will also bear well. 



The winter varieties will be half a crop. This, 

 however, is not unusual, as on account of climate 

 conditions such varieties as Bethel, Ben Davis 

 and Bishop Pippin never yield heavily in New 

 Brunswick. Unfortunately, scab has been 

 caused by continued rainy weather, and the ap- 

 pearance of the fruit will cause lower grading 

 on the market.

Three Good Qualities 



Every grower who sends us his shipments of fruit and 

 vegetables can count on three things: — 



Care in handling his shipments ; 



Promptness in paying his accounts, and 

 Lack of mistakes in making payments. 



This is the kind of service we consider a commission firm 

 should give its customers. In addition to that, however, you 

 can be sure that we will get you the best prices going, because 

 we supply the best trade in Toronto. 



There is one good way to test us — by sending u."; a trial ship, 

 ment. If we do not give you good service, naturally we cannot 

 expect you to continue. But we're willing to risk that.
