Ontario and B.C. Apples 



THAT British Columbia apples have cap- 

 tured a large part of the (Ontario market 

 is not due either to their superiority or to 

 the perversity of the ultimate buyer, but simply 

 to the fact that they are displayed more con- 

 spicuously and in a more attractive way. The 

 best Ontario apples are of finer flavor than the 

 best British Columbia fruit, but the Ontario 

 apple is not pushed forward like its competitor, 

 and the result is that the latter has the advan- 

 tage, in spite of the drawback of cost of produc- 

 tion for several thousand miles. 



It is not merely high color that attracts the 

 buyer. He prefers to purcliase by the box 

 rather than by the barrel. In buying smaller 

 quantities by the peck or measure there is a risk 

 that the apple may be wormy or otherwise de- 

 fective. Probably our best and most carefully 

 .selected fruit is exported, and the grower may 

 be satisfied with the export market, and be 

 comparatively little concerned aliout the market 

 at home. But there is no use in blaming the 

 ultimate consumer for not buying that which 

 is so seldom offered. Any fruit dealer who 

 chooses to make a specialty of the native product 

 will speedily find plenty of customers. — Toronto 

 Globe. 



excellent and the prices are reasonable, as the 

 purchasers will admit. For local consumption 

 local growers do not pack the fruit as for trans- 

 portation, and so the high-colored, carefully- 

 packed fruit from the Pacific coast does look 

 more attractive. The knowing housewife buys, 

 however, not for the wrapping and skin, but 

 the fruit inside, and so the Ontario apple, local 

 dealers declare, still holds premier place in the 

 eyes of the local fruit-buying public. — Hamilton 

 Spectator. 



In November issue, mention was made of 

 sweet potatoes having been grown the past 

 season at Stoney Creek by Sanford Carpenter. 

 Sweet potatoes were grown last year also at 

 Welland. George B. McClellan. manager of 

 the Industrial Home there, tried the experiment 

 and had considerable success. The Canadian 

 Horticulturist would like to hear from others 

 in the Niagara peninsula or elsewhere in Ontario 

 or east who have tried sweet potatoes with or 

 without success. 



Apples in Hamilton 



FRUIT growers, not only in the Niagara 

 peninsula, but throughout the continent, 

 have been financially handicapped from a 

 depression of the market and crops which 

 amounted to so much over the normal supply 

 that there is a glut. British Columbia apples, 

 of which much has been written of late, are 

 being sold locally (Hamilton), but the prices 

 the growers are getting arc very low, $1 and 

 $1.25 per box being considered good for the 

 best quality. 



Ontario apples are also being sold in large 

 quantities in the local shops. The quality is
