Fruit Meetings in Quebec 



THE Pomological and Fruit Growing 

 Society of the province o£ Quebec 

 held an interesting two-day meeting 

 in August. President Robert Brodie 

 (,f Westmount occupied the chair. The 

 iirst meeting was held at Hemmingford, and 

 the second at Covey Hill. 



A paper on "The Planting of a Family 

 Orchard in Eastern Quebec" was read by 

 Mr. J. C. Chapais, of St. Denis. This paper 

 l)ointcd out the advisability of every farmer 

 liaving a piece of ground in fruit so that the 

 family table could be supplied the year 

 round. Extracts from this paper will be 

 published in. a subsequent issue of The 

 Canadian Horticulturist. 



Mr. W. T. Macoun of the Central Experi- 

 mental Farm, Ottawa, gave a very practical 

 and interesting address on "Strawberry 

 Culture" in which he dealt with the methods 

 of culture and the best varieties to grow. 

 At the evening session. Prof. W. S. Blair, 

 of Macdonald College, gave an orchard talk. 

 He dealt with the location of the orchard, 

 -oil, planting of the tree and caring for it 

 luring the early years of its life. 



Prof. G. Reynaud of La Trappe, contribut- 

 1(1 a paper on "The Evaporating of Fruits 

 and Vegetables," in which he pointed out 

 that this process of preservation could be 

 ■ommercially carried out on a large scale. 

 i lie advantage of dried fruits was that they 

 oulil be kept in a condition fit for consump- 

 : io'n in a much smaller space than was the 

 •use with fresh fruit. In Newington, much 

 lias been done in this direction and large 

 quantities were exported to the European 

 market at a good profit. Mr. Reynaud then 

 went on to point out that when the apple 

 crop in France was a failure, there would 



be a good market for the evaporated fruit, 

 which was suitable for cider making. He 

 also remarked that peas, beans, carrots, 

 cauliflower, onions and cabbage could be 

 dried very easily and would be a profitable 

 product on the market. 



At Covey Hill, Mr. Macoun spoke on 

 "The Development of Experimental Work." 

 This paper will be published in a subse- 

 quent issue of The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist. 



Professor Swaine of Macdonald College 

 gave a very practical talk on "Orchard 

 Insects and Their Control," in which he 

 pointed out that there were two kinds of 

 these insects, biting and sucking. The former 

 fed upon the leaves of the plants and trees 

 and the latter sucked up the juices and 

 deprived vegetation of its vitality. He 

 enumerated several of these enemies of the 

 orchard, briefly sketching their life history, 

 mentioned the parasites to which some of 

 them are prey and gave formulae for 

 remedial measures that might be adopted, 

 laying special emphasis on thorough spray- 

 ing at particular seasons. He pointed out 

 that by the adoption of the latter, a very 

 large percentage of fruit which was now 

 practically worthless could be made a valu- 

 able market product. 



In a paper on "Roses," Mr. G. P. Hitch- 

 cock, of Massawippi, gave some very in- 

 teresting historical details concerning tliis 

 much admired flower, of which he said there 

 were between 300 and 400 distinct species 

 and the cultivation of certain of these for 

 commercial purposes gave employment to 

 thousands of people. He then touched on 

 the culture of roses, mentioning the kind 

 of soil, fertilizers, and so forth, required for
