 fly-destroyer. It is non-poiBonous, Cflsy to use. and costa but a tnlle. 

 Each sheet is capable of killing 1,000 flies. And Tanglefoot not only kills 

 the fly but seals it over with a varnish that deatroyn the yerms as well. 

 In buying, ask for the genuine " TANGLEFOOT"-it costs you no more 

 and lasts twice as long as the no-name kinds sold merely as fly-paper, or 

 sticky fly-paper.

 wealhor warm slightly. For best 

 results place Tanglefoot on chair

which preceded the season of 1911, when 

 the record crop of Nova .Scotia was har- 

 vested. The weather still remains cool 

 ;wid the trees are somewhat late in com- 

 ing: out. 



In Ontario conditions are generally fav- 

 orable. The early winter was very rii 

 but during January and February s( 

 cold weather was experienced throuiy 

 the province and a great deal of dan 

 w.is done to the peach crop in the Ni 

 peninsula. All other varieties of fruit 

 to have withstood injury and the buds 

 set for a good crop. There have been 

 ports of a probable shortage im plums, 

 ticularly in western Ontario. It is not 

 likely that such a condition will prev 

 inasmuch as the crop harvested last y^ 

 was a particularly heavy one, and one wh| 

 might almost be considered exceptional. 



British Columbia reports a mild win| 

 and practically no injury in any of the fr 

 sections. The spring has been one of 

 earliest experienced for many years. Th( 

 general prospects are that a large crop o 

 all varieties of fruit will be produced.-i«

Fruit Imports into Glasgow 



The great bulk of the fresh fruit im; 

 ed into Glas'^ow consists of well-ki ■ 

 varieties of apples from Canada and thi 

 United States. The Glasgow market sup 

 'plies all consumers throughout Scqt! 

 and weekly shipments are forwarded i 

 larly to fruit dealers throughout the nortl 

 of Ireland and the north of England. Thi 

 wide field that the Glasgow market is c; " 

 upon to supply acounts largely for th' 

 markable expansion of the apple trade tn;i 

 has taken place in recent years. The ap 

 proximate quantitv that is imported annu 

 ally is about 500,000 barrels. 



North .American apples are preferred ii 

 Great Britain to amy others. The qualit; 

 the regularity of varieties, the sizes, ani 

 the nature of the packages are considere 

 superior to any known- in the old world. 



.Apples are consigned to Glasgow in bai 

 rels and in boxes. The standard barrel 

 Ontario, Canada, containing about on 

 hundred and forty pounds of fruit, is th 

 one most preferred. Next to that is th 

 barrel used by the growers in Western Ne\ 

 York. Following that comes the barrt 

 from the New England States, then th 

 Hudson River barrel, and lastly the Nov 

 Scotia barrel, the least favorably regarde 

 of all. 



Apples in boxes containing about fort 

 pounds of fruit have been received in th 

 United Kingdom, especially in Glasgow 

 for some years past, and have been greatl 

 appreciated. The apples are regarded a 

 the finest quality procurable, and sell ac 

 rordingly. They come for the most pai 

 from Oregon, Washington and California 

 being carried across the continent an 

 shipped at New York, Boston and occj 

 sionally Montreal. The business in thes 

 western box apples is well established, an 

 the Panama Canal will doubtless be utilize 

 in the trade when it is opened and whe 

 refrigerator ships are put on. If it is foun 

 that this effects economy in shipping, th 

 business will be still further developed. 



The prices of apples delivered vary at 

 cordingly to the nature of the season. Brit 

 ish Columbia is the only serious competito 

 of the United States, and there is very littl 

 difference between Canadian values an 

 those established is Oregon and Washint 

 ton. Details of the apple trade are we 

 understood here as it has been in existenc 

 many years. — Consular Report.
