 pears, about i ci-op. — Henry C. Howen. 



rBKI, COUNTY 



Clarkson. Winter apples are dropping' 

 badly; sliould sIronK winds prevail s<x>n, i;ood 

 hand-picked apples will be scarce. The con- 

 tinued dry weather is telling against iheni. 

 No plums; pears, fair crop; crab apples, plentiful. 

 Strawberries planted in S])ring promise well; 

 the old patches are looking well. Raspberries 

 have caned up well and look healthy; the fall 

 web worm is very prevalent. — W. G. Home. 



WKNTWORTH COUNTY 



Winona.— Peaches belter than was ex|)ected; 

 severe; droitght somewhat afTccted them, and 

 late ones will be small. Pears, mostly picked, 

 except Keiffers, and are in good demand; 

 KcilTers will be small if drought contiimes. 

 Grapes are rijiening well, and promise a fair 

 crop of good (|uality; very little rot. Plums, 

 almost gone, except a few Reine Claude, which 

 are in great demand. Plums and peaches are 

 shipping well. Apples, clean of scab, but not 

 the crop expected; drop|)ed a good deal during 

 the hot. drv weather, — J. P. Bridgman. 



LINCOLN COUNTY 



Grimsby. — Plums, a light crop, many varie- 

 ties not yielding any fruit. Peaches, a good

.'V|}ples, a light crop, and injured by codling 

 moth. The (juantity for ex|)ort will be les- 

 sened. — A. H. I'ettit. 



.ST. cathakines district 

 Hot weather has tended to rush {leaclies and 

 grapes along; most i)eaclies are gathered, 

 while gra])es are about half picked. There 

 exists a basket famine; it is feared that there 

 will not be enough to harvest the gra|)e crop. 

 Several carloads have been secured and brought 

 in from the states. There may have to be a 

 lot |)ut in bbls. for the wineries. The .scarcity 

 in baskets ha.s tended to stiffen prices, but, as 

 in other years, large (plant ities have lx;en cut 

 while .still partly ripened, and shipped; it is 

 true, realizing better prices than later, but 

 helping to create a prejudice against grapes 

 and to lower [irices and les.sen consumption. 

 One marked feature of the season is the large 

 quantities sold outright and less going on com- 

 mission. — R. Thompson. 



NORFOLK county 



Simcoc. — A bad hailstorm early in the sea- 

 son did considerable damage. Most apples 

 will pack, no scab and few worms. Prices are 

 from $1.7.5 to $2 atoard cars.— W. Old'. 



[KENT COUNTY 



Chatham. — Plums, almost a total failure, 

 especially the Jajjanese. Grapes, fine sample 

 and good croj). Pears, ]xx)r quality and a 

 light yield. Although with orchards that 

 have been trimmed, sprayed and properly 

 cultivated, the size and c)uality are fine. Peaches 

 a fine croj), except such as the Alexander, Tri- 

 umph, and Crosby. Early and fall apples, a 

 good crop. Snows are great ; Baldwins in young 

 orchards are alxiul a failure; Spys are a good 

 crop of grand tpiality; Greenings are a fair 

 crop, and where sprayed are very fine. All 

 young orchards are bearing a small crop. Back 

 from Chatham and the river apples, pears and 

 peaches are nearly a failure. — Milton Backus. 



lijt <fiyp^jft.-^- GREY COUNTY 1 ? IJU! imf- -^ 

 Craighurst. — No phmis; pears, almost a 

 total failure. Good crop of fall apples of gtxjd

 iain. — G. C. Caxton.

 of good quality. Rain is badly needed. Spys

 meuse, small and somewhat affected with scab. 

 .Alexander, very highly colored and gcxxl size. 

 Gano, merliutii crop, good size and highly
