Ventilate tKe Barrels 



Editor, Canadian Horticulturist, — As an 

 EngHshman recently settled in Canada, I natur- 

 ally find many new things to claim my attention. 

 Having for the past 12 years had a personal 

 interest in the fruit trade, more particularly at 

 Covent Garden Market, London, I find great 

 interest here in all matters pertaining to fruit 

 and fruit culture. 



I have been greatly impressed by the sufier- 

 iority of the apples grown and stored here over 

 those exported in barrels to England with which 

 I have been long familiar. Taking Ben Davis 

 as an example, 1 find the skin clearer and better 

 colored, and the flesh m.uch more crisp, juicy 

 and full flavored. The question naturally 

 arises as to why this is so. 



A comparison has suggested a reason for this 

 difference, i.e., there are now arriving in Eng- 

 land each spring, commencing early in April and 

 continuing for three months or more, large 

 consignments of apples from Tasmania, and ■■ 

 these are just perfect in fragrance, juiciness and , 

 flavor. By the side of these Canadian and Am- 

 erican barrel apples make a decidedly poor 

 show. 



The Tasmanian apples are packed in ventilated 

 boxes, each box containing about 40 pounds of 

 fruit, and each apple is separately wrapped in 

 paper. If barrels were also ventilated a marked 

 improvement in quality would result therefrom. 

 Prices might be enhanced thereby to the extent 

 of half a dollar a barrel or even more. It is 

 possible that a system of ventilation has been 

 tried, but I have never come across a single 

 example. It should at least be well worth a 

 careful trial. — A. Knight, Marchmont. 



The Canadian Horticulturist is the best 

 and cheapest publication of the kind that I know 

 of. There is no paper as good in Europe. May 

 it have a great future. — Martin Winkler, Bright- 

 on, England.

At the Canadian National Exhibition we will 

 have the best exhibit of typewriters ever 

 shown in Canada. It will be of unusual in- 

 terest to business men who wish to have their 

 office equipment a little ahead of the times. 



The special feature of the exhibit will be 

 the Condensed Biller, a machine which is 

 indispensable in a business with a large 

 number of accounts ; the Retail Bill and 

 Charge machine ; and the Unit Biller. 



Be sure to come and see us and have 

 our demonstrators put you in touch with 

 these great systematizers of office work. 

 They are economizers — of time, labor, money.
