Regulations re Imported Fruit 



The recent amendment to the Inspection 

 and Sales Act affects chiefly imported 

 fruit. According to the new regrulations 

 every importer of fruit must have all grade 

 marks found on closed packages contain- 

 ing imported fruit erased or obliterated 

 when such marks are not in accordance 

 with the act or the new regulations. This 

 must be done when the packages are being 

 taken from the railway car, steamship or 

 other conveyance in which they have been 

 brought intO' Canada. The importer must 

 place on the end of such packages the 

 proper grade marks, the correct name of 

 the variety of fruit, and his own name and 

 address. 



Persons violating such regulations are 

 liable to a fine of not more than fifty dol- 

 lars and costs or, in default of payment, to 

 imprisonment for a term not exceeding one 

 month. The packages of fruit not properly 

 marked may be confiscated. 



Copies of the circular may be obtained, 

 free of charge, from the Publication 

 Branch, Department of Agriculture, 

 Ottawa, or from any Dominion Fruit In- 

 spector.

The Market Outlook 



Up to the time of writing there has been a 

 very brisk demand throughout the Domin- 

 ion for all kinds of small fruits and prices 

 have consequently been rather above the 

 average. Whether such a demand will 

 maintain during the latter part of the sea- 

 son when the larger fruits will be upon the 

 market, is questionable, but in view of the 

 fact that in nearly all sections of the Dom- 

 inion the crop of apples is considerably 

 below average, it is more than likely that 

 so far as this ■commodity is concerned

PvEONIES 



In Pseonies, the trend is to select the 

 flneo- sorts rather than the low-priced 

 ones. In plants of such a permanent 

 character as these the first ooet should be 

 a secondary matter: quality should b© the 

 first con.sideration. Too much cannot be 

 said of the following sorts, viz. : 

 No. WHITE

 er, fragrant, late, extra fine. Each $2-50.

 rant, midseason. Each $1.
