THE FRUIT CROP PROSPECTS 



$65 



that 



WING to the backwardness of the 

 season in most fruit districts, the 

 blooming: period has been delayed 

 and it is yet early to make pre- 

 jictions in regard to the coming crop. 

 Trom present indications, however, most 

 j;rowers are anticipating a favorable sea- 

 son. Should the apple crop be medium 

 large, it is probable that prices will not 

 high, particularly for the lower grades, 

 view of this probability, growers should 

 tend strictly to all orchard operations 

 will tend to decrease the percentage 

 [if inferior stock and to produce fruit that 

 ill command the best prices going. The 

 ollowing reports from correspondents of 

 The Canadian Horticulturist point out 

 le present condition of our orchards. 

 Irowers in all fruit districts of Canada are 

 iigain requested to send monthly reports 

 publication.

 May 17. 



Berwick. — Prospects are excellent for a 

 large crop. Trees that bore heavily last 

 year are showing a fine lot of buds and as 

 last season gave us plenty of moisture, I 

 think the trees are in splendid condition 

 to set full of fruit. Spraying is in full 

 blast.— B. H. Lee, May 14. 



HALIFAX COUNTY, N.S. 



Gay's River. — Fruit trees have come 

 through the winter well. Fruit buds are

 one. — G. N. Gordon, May 15.
