The Fruit Situation 



Advices from England hold out poor 

 prospects for the pear crop in that coun- 

 tr}'. The same applies to France. For 

 these reasons there should be a splendid 

 openinff for Canadian pears on the Eng- 

 lish market. This market demands a high 

 class product and all pears should be 

 wrapped separately and packed in the most 

 careful manner. Last year over six hun- 

 dred thousand hundred weights of pears 

 were imported into England. 



It is expected that the English apple 

 crop will be smaller than usual. The sea- 

 son is opening much more auspiciously 

 than has been the case for several years 

 past. For the last few years there hav. 

 been large crops in all countries produc 

 ing a curplus of apples. This year th 

 general condition of the United States cro. 

 is officially estimated at fifty-nine per cent, 

 of a normal crop as compared with sixty- 

 seven per cent, for last year. The Nova 

 Scotia crop is estimated at three quarters 

 of a million barrels as compared with one 

 million in 1912. Blenheims, Ribstons and 

 Greenings will be the heaviest yielders. 

 Baldwins and Gravensteins will be very 

 light. Nova Scotia apples are reported to 

 be quite scabby. 



Taking the Dominion as a whole th 

 apple crop will be not much over fifty per 

 cent, of a full crop. In Ontario Spies and 

 Baldwins are light as is also the Fameuse 

 in Quebec. British Columbia will have 

 about fifty per cent, of a full crop but the 

 quality is not up to the average. 



In the Lake Erie district pears promise 

 to be a good crop. Elsewhere the crop ap- 

 pears to be rather poor. In the Okanagan 

 Valley the crop is fair but the British Col- 

 umbia crop as a whole is below the average. 



Plums are yielding well in the Niagara 

 district. There is a fair crop in British 

 Columbia except on the coast. In Nova 

 Scotia plums are light but better in 

 Prince Edward Island. 



The Niagara district reports a fair crop 

 of peaches. There appears to be little trou- 

 ble from fungous diseases or insects. In 

 British Columbia the crop is good and will , 

 likely be harvested in good condition. 



Grapes are expected to yield a medium ' 

 crop. Many vineyards have suffered from 

 the ravages of the rose bug and flea beetle.

 guages. It is published by the McMillan
