in excellent crop. Beans are doing well. In 

 ::anning beets, a larger acreage has been sown 

 3Ut the yield will not be up to the average. 

 Sweet corn is doing well. The usual acreage of 

 anions was planted, but poor seed and lack of 

 lelp has decreased it. The acreage remaining 

 s looking fairly well, with the onions bottoming 

 ather slowly. Squash is grown for shipping 

 ind canning; a larger acreage; plants doing 

 xtra well. Carrots doing well but a less acreage. 

 iarly potatoes, an excellent crop, with acreage 

 ibove the average; the late crop doing well. 

 iJugs not troublesome. Early cabbage, a good 

 -rop; late, was planted freely. — Robt. Thomp- 

 on, July 23. 



NIAGARA FALLS SOUTH 



Vegetables are maturing before the average 



■"le. Melons, peppers, egg plants, cucumbers, 



atoes and squash have made luxuriant 



vth, and promise a record yield. Early 



atoes are ripening fast, the vines still grow- 



:ind setting fruit — a sure sign of an enormous 



'. Late tomatoes promise a big crop. Com 



'oking grand, the extra early varieties just 



I iiring ; second early and evergreen, growing 



fast and a fine color. Beans, offered in 



i: quantities, are a drug on market. Second 



\- potatoes, cabbage, peas, squash, beets and 



uce are very plentiful. Onions, good, pro- 



' an average crop. Planting of late cabbage 



celery completed; acreage less than last

CHATHAM 



Onions promise a large crop, more than suflfi- 

 ( nt for home consumption. Tomatoes are 



growing well, but the early fruit is a poor sample. 

 Potatoes, good; in some sections injured by 

 bugs. Early cabbage, very plentiful, market 

 glutted. — Fred Collins, July 19 



{LEAMINGTON 



Early cabbage is about all shipped. Prices 

 have been good, selling now at $1 a half bbl. 

 crate. Wax beans have been a poor crop.owing 

 to blight; prices have been satisfactory, at pres- 

 ent 50c, a bskt. Early cucumbers, a lighter 

 crop than usual; aphids have been bad. Cucum- 

 bers grown under glass have been fair. Toma- 

 toes are ripening well; the demand is excellent; 

 prices $1.25 a bskt. wholesale, $1.40 retail. 

 The outlook is for good sales throughout the 

 season. Earliana, the leading tomato grown, is 

 not as productive as some other varieties being 

 tested. Early celery is now coming in. Melons 

 are doing well, but not up to the standard. 

 Those started under glass are doing nicely with 

 some growers. Seed sown in the field has not 

 done well; weather has not been favorable. 

 The crop will be later than usual. Sweet corn 

 also is late. Green peppers are being shipped at 

 75c. a bskt. New potatoes, $1 a bu.— E. E. 

 Adams, July 20. 



SARNIA 



Early potatoes, a good crop, 90c. a bu., are 

 over-stocking the market; blight is showing 

 slightly. Late potatoes are looking well. Early 

 cabbage, good, but not plentiful on account of 

 the maggot; prices 60c. a doz. Late cabbage, 

 below the average in acreage, but looking well. 

 Tomatoes are growing well, but late. Onion 

 maggot has done considerable damage. Celery 

 and cauliflower not grown extensively. — W. A. 

 Broughton, July 22. 



especially adapted for apples, not only on ac- 

 count of the speed of these vessels, but, also, 

 because of the modem equipment which has 

 been placed in the ships to suit the Canadian 

 trade. The Glasgow vessels are sailing direct 

 and being a passenger service, shippers can de- 

 pend on the boats sailing on time. The carry- 

 ing qualities of these ships are well known to 

 the Canadian trade. 



The Allan Line berth at the Surrey Commercial 

 Docks, London, lends itself admirably for quick 

 delivery to the different fruit markets, such as
