Dominion Fruit Crop Conditions 



The report of the Dominion Fruit Divi- 

 sion on crop conditions under date of July 

 13th, stated that the June or July "drop" 

 now being over, reports generally are not 

 so favorable as those sent in a month ago. 

 There is, however, a tendency on the part 

 of growers to underestimate their crop at 

 this time, just as they are inclined to over- 

 estimate it at the time of blossoming. In 

 eastern Ontario the crop will equal that of 

 last year, and in western Ontario will ap- 

 proach that of 1912. Nova Scotia, while 

 suffering seriously from frost in some sec- 

 tions, will produce the best crop since 

 1911, if nothing further interferes. The 

 crop of British Columbia will surpass that 

 of 1913. It- is therefore clear that the Cam- 

 adian apple crop, from present indications, 

 will be above average, and with proper 

 attention given to distribution and market- 

 ing, one that will return to the growers 

 satisfactory figures. 



The apple crop in southern and western 

 Ontario and in the Niagara district will, 

 from present indications be an excellent 

 one. Greenings and Baldwins have been 

 reported short in Wentworth county, but 

 taking the western portions of the province 

 as a whole, the yield promises to be well 

 above the average and of good quality. 



Conditions in the inland counties of On- 

 tario correspond very closely to those in 

 southern and western Ontario. Im both 

 districts the drop hais been exceedingly 

 heavy. Huron county reports fall varieties 

 particularly good, with winter sorts lighter. 

 Spies being about equal to the 1913 crop. 

 Brant county promises to equal the 1912 

 yield, and prospects are almost equally fav- 

 orable in Middlesex. 



In the main apple-producing counties of 



Douglas Gardens 



OAKVILLE, ONT. 



The Rhizomatous Irises, including Pu- 

 mila, Interregna and Germanica, should 

 be planted not later than August for best 

 results. We strongly recommend Iris 

 Koonig, 50c each ; Rhein Nixe, 50c each, 

 Wyomissing, $1 each, Juniata, 75c each, 

 Mandraliscae, 25c each, Mme. Chereau. 

 15c each. We have five fine sorts of 

 Pamila Hybrids, and five of the best of 

 the Interreguas. 



Nearly all the varieties of Peonies that 

 we offer this year are one year plants. 

 The other varieties will be in strong 

 divisions. These should be planted in 

 the latter half of September and orders 

 should be given now. 



We have a fine lot of "Miss Lingard" 

 Phlox, Delphiniums, Aquilegias, Shasta 

 Daisies, and other Herbaceous Peren- 

 nials which are described in our fall 

 planting list now ready for distribution. 

 This list will be sent to all on our mail- 

 ing list and to others who send their 

 names and addresses.

Every Landscape Problem Must 

 Be Considered By Itself 



In order that everything may harmonize when the 

 work is completed, the architecture of the grounds 

 must be handled just as carefully and with the same 

 difinite purpose as the architecture of the house. If 

 you are building a New Home and need Planting 

 Plans or if you wish to re-arrange what has already 

 been done, we are at your service with Practical 

 Suggestions.
