and has a large connection with the inland 

 cities. By this method, the apples are exa- 

 mined thoroughly and sold on their merits, 

 and, when the sale is made, the buyer must 

 take delivery at once, thus avoiding 

 "slacks" and "wets" which are so common on 

 a declining market when buyers are allow 

 ed until four o'clock next day to take de- 

 livery. 



In Manchester, Mr. Chapin represents the 

 North of England Fruit Brokers, which is 

 one of the two firms that are large receivers 

 of Canadian apples. Their method of sell- 

 ing apples is by auction and these two firms 

 practically supply the Canadian apples for 

 Manchester and the surrounding country 

 which, in a radius of 12 miles, has a popu- 

 lation of 8,000,000. 



In Glasgow Mr. Chapin represents Thom- 

 son & Mathieson and in London, D. D. 

 Pankhurst. These firms have each a very 

 large retail trade in connection with their 

 auction business and are their own auc- 

 tioneers. Their method is to put a reserve 

 bid on the apples when they put them up 

 at auction and, if this price is not reached, 

 the apples are "bid in" and sold next day 

 by private sale, thus giving the shipper two 

 chances. 



Any of these firms are among the best and 

 most reliable firms in the business. Cana- 

 dian fruit shippers will do well to corres- 

 pond with Mr. Chapin before consigning.

An Appreciation 



Editor, The Canadian Horticulturist: 

 — Your September issue was one of the best 

 of your many good ones. I was especially 

 struck with Inspector Carey's vigorous 

 treatment of what many consider a worn- 

 out subject. Two points he mentioned are 

 worthy of emphasis: First.— Picking per- 

 iod. I hold that all apples should be off 

 the trees at least by October 25th. In my 

 own experience I aim to have everything 

 picked up to winter apples and all work 

 cleared away by October 10th, so that the 

 next fifteen days may be spent wholly in 

 picking winter. Second. — Though I have 

 never done so, I should consider it a very 

 short-sighted policy for any farmer to sell 

 his apples on the trees and allow a strang- 

 er to come in and pick them, since a care- 

 less picker could do a lot of injury to a 

 tree in the way of breaking branches and 

 tearing oft fruit buds. 



Another thing I like about The Canadian 

 Horticulturist is that it is not wholly 

 given to the commercial side of horticul- 

 ture. The articles on the care of lawns, 

 flower gardens and beautifying the home 

 appeal very strongly to me. I regret that 

 such a paper is not taken by every house- 

 holder in Canada, for if there is one thing 

 more than another that should be cultivat- 

 ed to a greater extent among, not only our 

 rural population, but our town and city 

 dwellers, it is the beautifying of the home 

 surroundings. In institute work as well as 

 home practice, I have always tried to show 

 that the best way to keep our boys and 

 girls at home is to make that home attrac- 

 tive. In this the hints in your paper have 

 been a help. — R. J. Messenger, Bridgetown, 

 N. S. 



I like The Canadian Horticulturist 

 and do not forget to say so to any person 

 that I think might be interested. — W. J.
