OHATBAUGTJAY CO., QUE. 



Chateauguay Basin. — Raspberries are late 

 but a fair crop ; plums, and cherries, nil. 

 Apples are developing well, but badly 

 marked by curculio. — P.R. 



CARLETON CO., ONT. 



Ottawa. — Raspberries, gooseberries, cur- 

 rants and grapes are over the average crpp 

 while plums are very light and apples un- 

 der the average. Insect and fungous 

 troubles are much less than usual. — R.B.W. 



ORENVILLB CO., ONT. 



Maitland. — Apples are growing well and 

 keeping very free from fungi. There are 

 very few insects of any kind and everything 

 is favorable for a fair yield of good fruit. —

a medium crop- of winter apples and the 

 apples show a nice clean appearance. — F.

ONTARIO CO., ONT. 



Oshawa. — Summer, fall and winter ap- 

 ples will be a medium crop this year. The 

 apples appear to be clear of fungi and in- 

 sects so far. — R.M.G. 



DURHAM CO., ONT. 



Newcastle. — Prospects are for a fairly 

 good crop. Apples are not as good as the 

 blossoms promised. The drop was heavy be- 

 cause of the early drought and apples do 

 not need thinning this year. Good rains 

 have saved the situation and we look for a 

 fair quality of good sized fruit. Buyers 

 are offering $1.00 on the tree.— W.H.G. 



PEEL CO., ONT. 



Lome Park. — Raspberries will be a full 

 crop and good samples. Apples will be only 

 a medium crop. Much fruit has fallen and 

 trees are badly infested with a leaf-curling 

 aphis. The strawberry crop in this district

was a full one but prices were low, averag- 

 ing about 5% cents for the season as against 

 7 cents last season. Raspberries will prob- 

 ably not average much higher. Melons are 

 late. The cut worm has been busy. — L.A.

NORTHUMBBRIAND CO., ONT. 



Colborne. — Medium crop of apples ex- 

 pected. Pears are light. Grapes promise a 

 good crop and other small fruits are plenti- 

 ful.— W.E. 



HALTON CO., ONT. 



Burlington. — Apples are fair to good 

 crop ; pears, light ; plums, fair to good ; 

 cherries, good; peaches, light; currants, 

 fair ; raspberries, fair ; blackberries, good ; 

 strawberries, light to fair ; gooseberries, fair 

 to good. The codling moth is beginning to 

 show.— A.W.P. 



LINCOLN CO., ONT. 



Queenston. — Bountiful rains have saved 

 many thousands of dollars for the fruit 

 growers. The prospects are for a full crop 

 of peaches, a fair crop of plums and a very 

 light crop of pears. Grapes promise a full 

 crop. Raspberries are doing well although 

 somewhat injured by the drought. Black- 

 berries should be a full crop. There are 

 practically no apples in this section. — H.S. 

 F. 



NORFOLK CO., ONT. 



Simcoe. — The apple crop is about 60 per 

 cent, of last year's crop. Aphis has done 

 considerable damage. — J.E.J. 



LAMBTON CO., ONT. 



Forest. — The apple crop promises fair. 

 The dry weather is causing the fruit to 

 drop considrably. — D.J. 



SIMCOE CO., ONT. 



Orillia. — Apples are not as numerous as 

 last report seemed to indicate. The June 

 drop was heavy. Not enough are left to 

 make a good crop but they are looking 

 well so far, not being troubled with either 

 insect or fungus pests. All bush fruits are 

 good.^C.L.S. 



BRUCE CO., ONT. 



Walkerton. — Raspberries promise well if 

 weather is favorable. Gooseberries and 

 currants are good ; cherries, light ; plums, 

 medium ; peaches, good ; pears, light ; early 

 apples, light ; winter varieties, medium to 

 a full crop. Quality is good at present. — 

 A.E.S. 



GREY CO., ONT. 



Clarksburg. — All kinds of fruit have 

 made wonderful progress since last report. 

 Apples set very heavy and are staying on 

 well. Unless there is a lot of thinking done, 

 there will likely be a lot of inferior fruit 

 on the orchards that are not under cul- 

 tivation. The trees that were sprayed well 

 are pretty free from worm and scab. There 

 is a very good crop of cherries but a lot 

 of rot where trees were not sprayed. — J. 

 G.M. 



YALE-CARIBOO, B.C. 



Vernon. — There will be an average crop 

 of apples, plums and prtines. The past 

 hard winter followed by late spring frosts 

 seriously affected the pear, cherry and 

 peach crop, which will be much less than 

 usual. Raspberries and blackberries are a 

 good crop. This has been a bad season for 

 insect and fungous pests so far. — A.T.B. 



Gellatly. — Small fruits are a good crop. 

 No peaches or cherries. Apples and prunes 

 are a good crop and plums light. Grapes 

 are very poor. The small fruits are in good 

 condition now. Aphis of all kinds are quite 

 numerous. — D.G. 



VANCOUVER ISLAND, B.C. 



Victoria. — Apples and pears, only fair, 

 plums, good ; raspberries, fairly good ; logan 

 berries, plentiful. Some aphis showing. — 

 A.H.J.
