in less than 10 days and possibly 13 or 14 

 days. The effect on the fruit in box cars 

 during the hot fall weather of these extra 

 days is too well known to need description, 

 and the saving: in value of perishable pro- 

 ducts by quiclv transportation and expedi- 

 tious handling is beyond estimation. 



With its transatlantic shipments the 

 United Fruit Companies has also done 

 much. This year great activity i' ' 'nn-; 

 displayed in the direction of chartering 

 special fruit boats. 



At the present moment the Central Asso- 

 ciation has under charter the following 

 steamships : 



S.S. "Boston," now on way to Glasgow. 



S.S. "Viator," destimation to be settled 

 later. 



S.S. "Katie," destination to be settled 

 later. 



S.S. "Annetta," destination to be settled 

 later. 



.'\melia," destination to be settled 



"Bella," destination to be settled 



S.S 

 later. 



S.S 

 later. 



S.S. "Vincenzo Di Georgio," destination 

 to be settled later. 



These steamers will be used by the Unit- 

 ed Fruit Companies to place cargoes of 

 fruit on markets that require supplies whem 

 the regular lines will not be available, a 

 part of the system of market regulating 

 practised by the Central and which was 

 fully explained in The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist some time back. 



The schooner "Silver Leaf" is also under 

 charter to The United Fruit Companies 

 for use in the potato trade. 



New Brunswick 



This province is awaking to the fact that 

 it is very favorably situated for the pro- 

 duction of such fruits as apples, straw- 

 berries, raspberries and cranberries. This 

 is especially true of the southern portion 

 of the province, where the proximity of the 

 sea ameliorates the severity of the winter, 

 and where the more tender varieties of 

 plums, pears and cherries have been 

 grown. During the past four years one 

 hundred thousand young apple trees have 

 been set out in the province. 



The annual report of the provincial hor- 

 ticulturist. Mr. A. G. Tumey, which has 

 been issued recently, shows that the oper- 

 ations of the illustration orchards have 

 proved successful, as they have been oper- 

 ated at a profit. Part of an orchard in 

 Lower Cloverdale, .Mbert Coumty, was 

 taken over in 1911, and one hundred and 

 fifty-two dollars was expended on it in 

 spraying, plowing and fertilizing. The 

 harvesting and marketing of the crop, and 

 six per cent, interest on the va-lue of the 

 orchard, amoumted to five hundred and six- 

 ty-nine dollars more, a total of seven hun- 

 dred and twenty-one dollars. The net pro- 

 ceeds of the sale were one thousand two 

 hundred and sixty-eight dollars, showing a 

 clear profit of five hundred and forty-six 

 dollars, after paying interest on the value 

 of the property and all expenses. In 1912 

 the expenditure was four hundred and six- 

 ty-two dollars, and the revenue seven hun- 

 dred and three dollars, showing a profit of 

 two hundred and forty-one dollars. Ln 

 1913 the expenditure was three hundred and 

 four dollars, and the revenue six hundred 

 and eighteen dollars, showing a profit of 

 three hundred and fourteen dollars, or one 

 hundred amd four dollars an acre. On the 

 remaining four acres of the orchard the 

 owner made a profit of seven hundred and 

 two dollars in 1911, one hundred and twen- 

 ty-four dollars in 1912. and five hundred 

 and ninety-four dollars in 1913.
