Notes From an Inspector 



Ed. The Canaijian Hor.iculturist; Since 

 my departure from Montreal on January 1 

 last, my inspection work has been confined 

 mostly to Northumberland County and Co- 

 bourg, Grafton, Colborne and Brighton. About 

 Feb. 15 there were 3.5,000 bbls. of apples at 

 these points to repack. The kinds in store 

 were Golden Russets, Ben Davis, Baldwin and 

 Spy. The latter have been selling well at 

 home. 



The apple houses in this county are of mod- 

 ern style, and although the winter has been 

 very severe, yet very little fruit has been dam- 

 aged by frost. The model packing house has 

 generally model packers, but not always. 

 When nearing some of these houses I have 

 heard profane language, whistling and dancing, 

 and the fruit was usually of the same grade, 

 lacking uniformity 



When fruit is irregular in size and quality 

 and hard to grade, one has continually to keep 

 his mind on his business or something will 

 happen. We read of one Ont. man getting 

 28 shillings a bbl. for No. 1 Golden Russets, 

 and 20 shillings for No. 3 quality. We con- 

 gratulatcXsuch^a man, as he has made for him- 

 self a name that other men may well covet. 

 Men ask me how such a man gets such a big 

 price and others so much less. I tell them 

 that he packs better, that an even grade can 

 be depended upon always, and wherever his 

 name is found on a package of fruit it is reli- 

 able. This is the secret^of his success. So 

 go and do ye'^likewise.'^
