Annapolis Valley Notes 



Tlu- >c.iM)n still rontinucs <old. and 

 probably the latest on record, the leaf bU( 

 of apple trees just bcginniing to unfold 

 th« twentieth of M^y. Readers of T^ 

 Canadian Horticulturist will remember th 

 in .August, of 1912 the Nova Scotia Gov- — 

 mcnt by special orders in Council pa 

 a regulation prohibiting the importer 

 of nursery stock from countries know: 

 be infested with San Jose Scale umless 

 stock bore a certificate from Governn 

 officials that the nursery from which 

 came was free from this scale. , 



Under this rei^ulation, no stock fron 

 Ontario was admitted into this province 

 1913. But the Nova Scotia market 

 apple trees is very profitable for our 

 tario friends, and consequently their 

 series received in homely parlance "a li^ 

 and a promise," which was enough, he 

 ever, to obtain the desired certificate ' 

 their provincial inspectors for the s: 

 to be marketed in 1914. 



When this stock began to come to Tnm 

 and Diifby, the Nova Scotia ports of ei 

 this spring, it had to undergo a diff^ 

 kind of examir'Ption and was found " 

 pretty generally infected with living 

 and was, of course, rejected. The Un'j 

 Fruit Companies had taken iar;.re on\i 

 aii.ong their members, all of which had 

 be cancelled at the last mom; it. BetaM 

 of this careful wo'k, the '"roviirid Vnt 

 mologist. Prof. \V. H. Brittain, received ; 

 vote of thanks from the Executive of thi 

 Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' .Associatioi 

 that met at Kentvile on May 5th, where th( 

 foUowino- resolution was passed: 



Whereas, nursery stock coming f- " 

 points in the United States and Cat 

 have been found to be infected with 

 San Jose Scale ; and 



Whereas, by prompt action and at l: 

 expense, this pest has been practii 

 exterminated from Nova Scotia, after n.n 

 intf been introduced on nursery stock fron 

 Ontario and the I'nited States, and. 



Whereas, the introduction of the Sai 

 Jose Scale into Nova Scotia would serious 

 ly jeopardise the fruit growing industry o 

 the province ; 



Therefore resolved, that the Executive o 

 the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Associa 

 tion, here assembled, petition the Nov; 

 Scotia Government to refuse entrance t 

 all stock found bearing Scale, whether fron 

 Ontario or from the United States.
