Ma rkets. — " The exportation of fresh fruit to the North- 

 west Territory and Manitoba, which is the natural mar- 

 ket of the prov- 



the surplus fruits 

 of the country. 

 Canneries a n il 

 fruit - preserving 

 establishments of 

 various kinds also afford means of disposing of 

 of the surplus fruits which are not in a condition to 

 be exported. The high price of labor, and the compe- 

 tition which has to be met, in the matter of the cheap 

 jams and other products, adulterated with foreign sub- 

 stances and glucose, which come from the east and 

 California, are, however, very serious factors which mil- 

 itate against the success of such establishments." 



Pests.— Most of the pests which have caused such 

 serious loss to the orchardists of other countries have 

 made their appearance in the province, but, thanks to 

 the efforts made for their suppression, the codlin moth 

 and curculio are notable exceptions. 



Climate. — The climate of the coast is most equable. 

 The temperature seldom falls to zero nor rises above 

 75° or 80°. In the interior the variations are naturally 

 greater, but even there in the coldest part of the win- 

 ter, the temperature does not long remain at or below 

 zero. On the coast the preeipitition is ilmost entirely
