 Fruit Crop Conditions 



The Niagara Peninsula ,Kruit Growers' 

 Association has issued the following re- 

 port on fruit crop conditions : 



Reports were received from about one 

 hundred fruit growers from Hamilton to 

 Niagara. General conditions of trees, 

 vines and plants are good. There is only 

 one report of strawberries winter-killed ; a 

 few tomatoes are reported killed by frost 

 at Niagara; grapes are slightly frosted in 

 low-lying localities, and cherries partly 

 frozen at VVelland. Leaf Curl is reported 

 from Niagara township, and Bud Moth 

 from Welland. 



Spraying was, as a whole, done on time, 

 and cultivation is generally sufficient, ex- 

 cept in the case of apples, which have not 

 received as much attention. Nearly all 

 apples and many cherries and plums have 

 been sprayed twice. There has been prac- 

 tically ino injury from frost in the fruit 

 sections. 



The average set of crop is as follows: 

 Strawberries, (46 reports) 67% ; two total 

 failures. 



Raspberries, (30 reports) 66%. 

 Red Currants, (.3.3 reports) 72^%. 

 Gooseberries. (29 reports) 70%. 

 Cherries, (75 reports) 71j^%. 

 Sweet cherries when reported separately 

 (10 reports) showed 90% ; sour only 51%. 

 Japanese Plums, (58 reports) 65?/. 

 European Plums, 60 reports) 68%. 

 Early Peaches, (84 reports) 68%. 

 Late Peaches, (91 reports) 74%. 

 Pears, (75 reports) 79%. 

 Apples. (61 reports) 63%. Baldwins and 

 Spvs reported light. 



Too early to estimate Tomatoes or 

 Grapes. 



It must be remembered that it is rather 

 difficult to form an accurate Pstimate of 

 the future crop at this earlv date, but later 

 reports will give better indications, and 

 may alter percentages. Attention is drawn 

 to the fact also that 100% means a full 

 croD from all trees and varieties, while 

 75% stands for a good average crop from 

 all trees and varieties. 



Later reports will be issued as the crop 

 develops. — P. \V. Hodgetts, Director Fruit 

 Branch. 



Eastern Annapolis Valley 



Eunice Buchanan 



This year promises to be one of enor- 

 mous apple crops in spite of the May frost 

 which injured quite a number of blossom-; 

 and tender shoots. The fruits are settinvr 

 well with the exception of Ben Pavis in 

 places, and Si>>s are, owin«: to the frost, 

 settinsr one in a cluster. It is cenerallv 

 an off year for Kings, but Gravenstein* 

 ar"^ very full. 



Spraying is receiving greater attention 

 than ever in the Berwick district, mostlv 

 commercial lime-sulohur and arsenate of 

 l»»ad beintr us'"d. Usually the nuantity is 

 five pounds of arsenate of lead (though 

 some put six and seven) to one hundred 

 gallons of sprav in which there is l.OI of 

 lime sulphur. This is applied before and 

 after the blossoming. Some growers spray 

 three or four times, while others are mak- 

 inir two heav^ apnlications onlv.
