Fruit Crop Prospects 



Weather conditions in F^astem Can. 

 have been very irregular, being mostly 

 dry and cold. As a result the crop of sm 

 fruits in Ontario has been materially sh' 

 ened and prospects for all kinds of fi 

 in the Maritime Provinces have been 1- 

 ered. The dry weather experienced in ' 

 Montreal and Eastern Townships distn 

 of Quebec, was hard on the small fruit ci' 

 In British Columbia June was too wet :■. . 



cold. APPLES 



There has been a serious falling off 

 the prospects for apples in practically 

 districts. The average for the whole I 

 minion will not be over sixty per cent, 

 a full crop. Good weather between i 

 and picking time will help materially. 

 Nova Scotia fruit is quite scabby and Gr 

 ensteins will be short. Spys and Baldwi: 

 will be light in Ontario and Fameuse n 

 Quebec. British Columbia maintains i 

 fair average for winter apples. 



PEARS 



Prospects for pears have also lowered. 

 In Nova Scotia the crop is practically a 

 failure. Bartlett's will be eighty-five pen 

 cent, of a full crop in Ontario, with other 

 varieties short. In the British Columbia 

 coast region the crop is light; inland, 

 somewhat better. 



FLIT us 



The plum crop will be fair and of good 

 quality with the exception of the lower 

 mainland of British Columbia, where an al- 

 most total failure is expected. 



PEACHES 



In the Niagara district a large crop is 

 expected. Early varieties are better than 

 late. St. John's, however, are rated at only 

 fifty per cent, of a full crop. In no other 

 part of Eastern Canada is there any ap- 

 preciable crop to affect the market. The 

 British Columbia crop will be below that 

 of last year, but fair in quality. 



GRAPES 



The grape crop of Western Ontario is 

 about up to the average. The crop is uni- 

 form, although not as heavy as last year. 



SMALL FRUITS 



Strawberries have been short all over 

 Canada. Timely rains have helped th- 

 raspberry crop. Other small fruits will in 

 the main be plentiful. — Dominion Crop Re-

Refrigerator Cars for Fruit 



At the request of the Department of Ag- 

 riculture the Grand Trunk Railway System 

 has undertaken during the period .August 

 1st to October 1st, 1913, inclusive, to fur- 

 nish, when practicable, refrigerator cars 

 for transporting to Montreal shipments of 

 fruit for export. Shippers desiring cars 

 under this arrangement must make a writ- 

 ten application stating quantity of ice to 

 be placed in cars before loading, and if 

 cars are to be re-iced in transit, the quanti-
