Comments by British Importers 



During the past few weeks The Canadian 

 Horticulturist lias received a number of in- 

 uig letters from British apple import- 

 ers and commission men, containing com- 

 parisons of the various packs of fruit they 

 receive from different fruit sections. -Rid- 

 ley, Moulding and Co., of London, Fng., 

 write in part as follows: "Tho apples that 

 pome from California, Oregon, aud Wash 

 in ion are of tho dessert variety, and are 

 packed in boxes. There is no getting away 

 ironi tho fact that the best apples should 

 pa; to come in boxes. Tho size which finds 

 most favor liore is that which allows of being 

 packed from 150 to 200 in a box. There are 

 some Canadian growers who ship the finest 

 of their apples to this country in boxes, and 

 wo are sure that taoy find it pays them well 

 to do so. Apples packed in this way seem 

 to escapo damage from bruising, far more 

 than those which are sent packed in barrels. 



"When packed in boxos, tho apples should 

 be carefully graded, wrapped in paper, 

 packed evenly in layers and a piece of corru- 

 gated cardboard put at each end of the box 

 to prevent the outside apples from sustainr 

 ing any bruises should the boxes oo subject 

 to any severe handling whilst in transit. 



"In barrel packing, the main thing is for 

 tho quality of the fruit to be the same 

 throughout the whole barrel. We strongly 

 advise against sending mixed samples in 

 one barrel. In past years this abuse was 

 very prevalent but there has been a marked 

 improvement, and the cases of complaints as 

 regards tho method of packing are now few 

 and far between. Growers who pack their 

 cruit fairly, so that it is quite reliable, will 

 find it pays them best on a full market, 

 there will be a good market on this side 

 this year for high-class apples, which are 

 well packed."

Fruit Crop Prospects 



The fruit crop report for August of tne 

 Dominion Fruit Division reports but little 

 change in tho prospects from previous re- 

 ports. Hot, dry weather in Ontario has 

 caused varieties of apples to mature about 

 ten days earlier than usual. 



In the counties north of Lake Erie the 

 prospects for early and fall apples have 

 somewhat improved. Winter apples prom- 

 ise a medium crop. Along Lake Huron and 

 inland the crop will be even lighter than 

 previous reports indicated, owing to dry 

 weather and wind storms. Lambton county 

 will have about one-half of an average crop 

 and Huron county a light crop of good 

 quality in the best cared for orchards. 



North of Lake Ontario a medium crop is 

 expected. The crop is of good quality. 

 Along the St. Lawrence Valley Snow apples 

 will be light, Mcintosh an average crop 

 and Duchess, Wealthy and Transparent a 

 fairly good crop. 



A bumper crop is expected in Nova Sco- 

 tia and New Brunswick. The fruit is large 

 and free from blemish.

Just because a separator skims close is not sufficient 



reason for buying it. Equally important is the question 



j of durability. 



An I H C Cream Harvester was put to a year's test at the 



factory — running steadily for 10 hours every working day. This is 



equivalent to 20 years of ordinary use, figuring on a basis of half 



an hour's daily service. Yet in all this time there was no perceptible 



wear. What better proof of I H C durability can you ask? 



I H C Cream Harvesters 



Dairymaid and Bluebell 



have been paying cow owners big dividends for years. Their skimming 

 qualities are unequalled — their ease of turning — ease of cleaning — and 

 durability are easily proved by the testimony of owners. Why not investigate? 

 You will find that I H C Cream Harvesters are the only separators with 

 dust-proof gears, which are easily accessible. The frame is entirely protected 

 from wear by phosphor bronze bushings. The I H C has large shafts, 

 bushings, and bearings. The patented dirt-arrester removes the finest 

 particles of dirt from the milk before the milk is separated. 



I H C Cream Harvesters are made in two styles— Dairymaid, chain 

 drive, and Bluebell, gear drive — each in four sizes. The I II C local agent 

 will tte glad to point out the above features and many others, or, write 

 nearest branch house for catalogues.
