Standard Packages for Fruit FOR SALE AND WANTED 



ONE of the important subjects that will 

 be discussed at the Dominion Fruit 

 Conference to be held in Grimsby, 

 Ont., e.'irly in September, will be tht; 

 adoption of standard sizes for fruit pack- 

 ages other than the apple box although it 

 too will probably be considered, as ithe Pa- 

 cific Coast standard box had many admirers 

 in British Columbia. This being the case, 

 the following report by Dominion Trade 

 Commissiiner D. H. Ross, of Melbourne, 

 to the Department of Trade and Commerce, 

 Ottawa, on the Commonwealth regulations 

 in respect to fruit, should be of interest : 



Under the Commonwealth Commerce 

 (Trade Descriptions) Act and regulations, 

 the sizes of fruit cases, either for import or 

 export, are not questioned. If, however, 

 the cases are marked 'one bushel' it is stip- 

 ulated that the contents shall be of a capac- 

 ity equal to that of the Imperial bushel. 

 The fruit must be correctly described and 

 should the contents be marked on the case 

 it is imperative that the quantity shall be 

 correct. The Commonwealth Quarantine 

 .A.ct applies to all imported fruit, and pro- 

 hibits the importation of fruit from certain 

 places on account of the existence of fruit 

 pests or diseases.

E. H. Wartman, Fruit In«pector, Montreal 



We are receiving large quantities of 

 apples from all directions: Delaware and 

 New York State in bushel baskets, and 

 Ontario in barrels, boxes and eleven-quart 

 baskets. For anything but fine quality 

 prices are very low, about one hundred per 

 cent less than last year at this date. This 

 should be the year that number three apples 

 would be better absent from our markets. 

 There is a better use for them, apple chop 

 or animal feed in moderation. 



Although this is August 18th, about six 

 hundred baskets of cherries arrived, and 

 quantities of gooseberries and currants. As 

 these fruits come in by the middle of June 

 it has been a long season. 



One of our big fruit firms here claim to 

 have sold one hundred thousand baskets of 

 cherries this season. I have no reason to 

 doubt it. This would mean sixty-six cars 

 of ordinary loading. But this is only one 

 firm's sales. What has been the grand ag- 

 gregate, who knows. I think I might safe- 

 ly say it has been the record crop for the 

 last half century. This crop was predicted 

 and never failed..
