Ontario Apples in the West 



PlaiUtt & StT«((, Uthbridic AtberU 



The Ontario apples we have handled 

 from time to time have jfiven very poor 

 satisfaction for the reason that they had 

 not been properly taken care of during the 

 jfrowinff season with respect to sprayiii' 

 and cultivation, as well as through not 

 bcintr properly parked. The only proper

(Le<'OJiim Vernum) 



way to pack apples to handle to advamtaue 

 is in boxes with each individual apple 

 wrapped in paper and the box paper lined. 



We have r-eceived cars of apples from a 

 shipper in the State of Washingrton who 

 has fneciuctntly offered us one hundred 

 dollars if we could find one apple in the 

 whole carload with a worm-hole. When we 

 take into consideration this offer, we be- 

 lieve there are very few apple growers oi 

 shippers in Ontario who would be pre- 

 pared to make the same offer. 



The- fruit trees in Washington and the 

 States generally are far better taken care 

 of than in Eastern Canada, and we be- 

 lieve if the Ontario growers and shippers 

 intend to retain the western market, they 

 have got to wake up and use facilities 

 necessary for keeping their fruit clean and 

 free from defects.
