Export Apples in Boxes 



Editor, The Canadian HoRTictrLTTJRiST : 

 From my observations in Great Britain, I 

 believe that the best way to sell Ontario 

 apples is to take them there and market 

 them personally and stand behind every 

 box and replace every box not satisfactory 

 on seeing it yourself. Open and examine 

 every box complained of. Sell faulty boxes 

 for what they are worth, and set your price 

 on every perfectly packed box, the top 

 market price. 



The auction system of Liverpool deserves 

 the highest commendation. I would not say 

 that it cannot be improved, but those auc- 

 tion brokers deserve great credit for having 

 devised such a system of handling fruit. 

 I sold nearly all my apples by auction and 

 stood behind every box. 



The dealers in Great Britain expect to get 

 better apples from a box than fro.n a 



barrel. First-class apples in what they 

 want. For the good of our growers, we 

 should give them long lines of every variety 

 that we have to offer. Send the first quality 

 all wrapped in paper and tiered in boxes, 

 never unwrapped or rolled in loose. Our 

 associations should have a representative 

 in the Liverpool market to control the whole 

 British trade and authorized to stand be- 

 hind every package. Within four or fiva 

 hours travel from Liverpool are practically 

 all British markets including Glasgow and 

 London. 



Cold storage ought to be utilized at an 

 ocean port in Canada. Cable can direct 

 apples to any market. Cold storage ought also 

 to be utilized as subsidiary at Liverpool, 

 but not at London or Glasgow. I hive 

 not mentioned Manchester but I am afraid 

 it is going soon to rival Liverpool as a dis- 

 tributing point for apples. 



I agree with you in regard to branding

 hardy.
