Are you ready to 

 spray, when the petals 

 fall? 



The young- larvae of the cod- 

 ling moth enters the blossom 

 end of the apple soon after 

 the petals fall. K drop of 



Neutral Arsenate 

 of Lead 



in the calyx cup before the lobes 

 close, prevents the worm from en- 

 tering and saves the fruit. This 

 .'\rsenate is not only perfectly saf? 

 in use, but owing to its finely di- 

 vided condition, it stays better in 

 suspension, covers more foliage 

 and sticks to it better than ordin- 

 ary Acid Arsenate. We will he 

 glad to ciuote prices and give fur- 

 ther information.

British Fruit Salerooms 



The saleroom in Liverpool belongs to 

 tlie Brokers' Association itself, and in 

 Manchester, although the Corporation 

 owns the building, they leased it to the 

 Manchester Association for a term of 

 years. Both buildings are very similar in 

 internal appearance, being constructed on 

 the amphitheatre or tier system, the seats 

 of the buyers rising one above the other 

 in a three-quarter circle facing the ros- 

 trum, the samples coming up from the cel- 

 lar below the lift. 



These salerooms are not open to the 

 public, nor indeed to any buyer. Persons 

 wishing to buy from the brokers must be 

 members of the Fruit Growers' Association 

 which was formed in each place some 

 years ago. No other, except duly and for- 

 mally admitted representatives of mein- 

 bers' firms may attend the auctions, and 

 even if the actual owner of the goods 

 wishes to see them sold, he must take a 

 seat with the auctioneer and his clerks 

 and is not admitted amongst the buyers. 



Adinission to the membership of these 

 buyers' associations is a most difficult 

 matter, as it is to existing members' inter- 

 ests to keep new members out, the result 

 being that while some members are little 

 more than retailers other firms in the dis- 

 trict whose business has so expanded as 

 to well qualify them for membership, are 

 unable to obtain admission to the charm- 

 ed circle. If these wish to purchase goods 

 in the saleroom they are compelled to get 

 a member to do it for them, for which ser- 

 vice a fee is charged.
