The apple crop in Kootenay seems to be 

 lighter than last year on the whole, but the 

 prospect of good prices will more than 

 make up the difference. Very few orch- 

 ards report a falling off in the crop as the 

 result of the severe winter as has been the 

 case in some districts not so favored.

The season for small fruit, both native 

 and cultivated, is over, and it has been 

 without exception the most favorable year 

 for all sorts ever experienced in this pro- 

 vince. Wild strawberries, raspberries, 

 gooseberries and Saskatoon berries were 

 abundant everywhere. Bl,ack currants were 

 also abundant, as well as the red variety, 

 though as a rule the latter grow only in 

 favored localities. 



The cultivated sorts, especially currants 

 and raspberries, were loaded everywhere. 

 Strawberries were better than usual. Goose- 

 berries generally bear only on the lower 

 branches which are protected by snow, and 

 this year v/as no exception. 



The crab apple orchard is now ripe. I 

 am sending to you part of a branch show- 

 ing how prolific our country is when every- 

 thing is favorable. I send also a branch of 

 the I'yrus baccata crab-apple, from which 

 the larger sort is a cross. 



Trees and shrubs have done extra well 

 throughout the province wherever grown. 

 In a few localities the heavy rains and hot 

 weather caused rust on many of the poplars 

 and cottonwoods. 



[Note. — The specimens of named varie- 

 ties that we received were a fine lot and 

 showed the possibilities of this fruit in 

 Saskatchewan. The experimental farm at 

 Indian Head, of which Mr. Mackay is th< 

 superintendent, is doing much valuable

The members of the Brandon Horticul- 

 tural Society excelled themselves this year 

 at their show. They made a most creditable 

 showing considering the dry weather experi- 

 enced here for a month previous to the 

 show. 



Killarney held its second show of flowers 

 and vegetables this year, and also conducted 

 several interesting competitions in the care 

 of grounds and yards. Killarney has a 

 number of enthusiastic horticulturists, and 

 their influence behind the Horticultural So- 

 ciety is resulting in a great improvement 

 of the appearance of the homes in the town. 

 We need more such societies.

The Provincial Horticultural Exhibition 

 held in AVinnipeg in late August, was a 

 remarkable success. The exhibit of fruits 

 created a greater surprise than anything 

 else in the show. In this section A. P. 

 Stevenson, Dunston, and the Buchanan 

 Nursery Co., were the largest exhibitors, 

 although the latter did not enter anything 

 for competition. Mr. Stevenson had the 

 largest number of apples, having a collec- 

 tion of 29 named varieties of standard 

 apples, besides a larger number of named 

 crabs, seedling apples and seedling crabs. 



A. McLeod and Edward Oak, of Morden, 

 as well as Alex. Fowler, of Baldur, and J. 



B. King, of Fairfax, also put up smaller 

 exhibits of apples. The whole apple dis-
