Fruit Crop Prospects 



In Eastern Canada the weather during 

 March, April, aiud the first part of May 

 has been all that could be desired, excc-pt 

 that the majority of correspondents quali- 

 fy their optimistic reports with the con- 

 dition that frost may intervene. The wea- 

 ther reports for the last two momths from 

 British Columbia are by no means so favor- 

 able. The winter frosts were much heav- 

 ier than usual, sufficiently so to sliKhtly 

 iinjure the temderest trees and varieties. 

 Light frosts have injured apricots, peaches 

 and cherries. Ini one or two districts 

 plums are reported affected by the frosts 

 of April 29. In the Maritime Provimces 

 trees have wintered well. More rain has 

 fallen this spring than usual. The sea- 

 son is fully two weeks in advance of the 

 average. 



Upon the whole the weather conditions 

 for fruit generally have been good, but it 

 must not be forgotten that complications 

 may arise any time between now aind har- 

 vesting. This is particularly true, for 

 instance, with reference to the cherry 

 crop, which promised last year to be very 

 large, but was seriously injured by ex- 

 cessive precipitation, especially in East- 

 em Ontario, between the growing and 

 harvesting months. 



The reports of our correspondents upon 

 the apple crop are most optimistic. In 

 British Columbia and Ontario the bloom 

 is sufficiently advanced to show that it is 

 especially heavy this year. Quebec and 

 the Maritime Provinces report that there 

 is an excellent showing for bloom, and 

 trees are particularly healthy. 



The pear growing sections of Ontario 

 and British Columbia report the condi- 

 tions very favorable as indicated by the 

 bloom. The trees are particularly healthv 

 and no winter killing is reported. In the 

 Maritime Provinces only a medium crop 

 of pears is expected. The Kootenay Dis- 

 trict anticipates a heavy crop. 



PLUMS 



Plums have suffered much injury from 

 the late spring frosts. The plum, how- 

 ever, is very prolific in bloom, amd it is 

 not at all improbable that a sufficient 

 number of buds will be left to make a 

 medium if not a large crop in the plum 

 districts of Ontario. In British Columbia 

 the crop will be heavy, though some deduc- 

 tions will probably have to be made on 

 account of recent frosts. 



PEACHES 



In Southern Ontario it looks as if the 

 crop would be the largest on record. The 

 recent frosts appear not to have done any 

 serious injury, and fall and winter condi- 

 tions were particularly good. In British 

 Columbia some slight damage to the early 

 blooming peaches is reported, but in all 

 probabilitv sufficient bloom has been left 

 to make a full crop — Dominion Fruit 

 Crop Report.
