THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



November, 1909 



Fruit is being gathered rapidly. Many 

 operators are finding diflBculty in securing 

 enough of helji to handle the crop. In 

 raanj' sections on account of wet weather 

 and lack of sunshine, fruit has colored 

 slowly. Except in a few districts, apples 

 can be said to be somewhat undersized,, 

 but larger than in 1907. They are fairly 

 free from fungus, but the work of the cod- 

 ling moth is showing up very much es- 

 pecially in unsjirayed orchards. 



One would call the weather conditions 

 favorable for packing and shipping, much 

 more so than last season, yet a great many 

 cargoes are reported as arriving in bad 

 condition in the Old Country. Returns 

 have been quite disappointing. From the 

 northwest, there are but few complaints. 

 Dealers are buying heavily and up to date 

 more fruit has gone west than ever be- 

 fore. There are but few shipments on con- 

 signment, the great bulk of the fruit being 

 purchased f.o.b. cars at this end for which 

 good prices have been paid. In a letter to 

 The Can.^dian Horticulturist, Mr. P. J. 

 Carey, Dominion Fruit Inspector, says : 



"The Old Country dealers have bought 

 outright at this end more apples than evei 

 before and it would seem that before many 

 years the great bulk of Ontario apples will 

 be sold and paid for at shipping points. It 

 is yet too early to give an estimate of 

 quantity of fruit going into store for re- 

 packing but storehouses i)romise to be fair- 

 ly well filled."

DO not be misled. The 

 only kind of sound- 

 reproducing machine that is 

 perfect is the one that Edison 

 invented and the one that 

 Edison makes. 



It is the one with the 

 smooth and perfect sapphire 

 point, that doesn't require 

 changing with each record 

 and that doesn't scratch — 

 two points alone that should 

 influence your decision. 



Only in the Edison do you 

 find the music-reproducing 

 idea at its best. 



Don't take our word for 

 it. Compare the Edison 

 Phonograph with all other 

 instruments side by side, on 

 the same music, if possible, 

 and then you will know 

 better than we can tell you. 



Edison Phonographs are sold everywhere in 

 Canada at the same price. $1650 to $162.50.
