(6) No person shall be obliged to have his fruit inspected, but, if he desires the benefits 

 of the higher prices which will be eventually secured by the inspector's brand, he will be 

 expected to pay a fee of at least one cent per barrel for each barrel branded by the inspt^ctor. 



(7) On account of some lots going by Suspension Bridge and New York to Great 

 Britain, and other lots going to Chicago, the inspector should have, as soon as practicable, 

 one or two trained assistants in Western Ontario during the apple season, ready to go when 

 called upon, to any station for the inspection of carlots of apples which are ready for 

 shipment. 



(S) The inspector may make arrangements, wherever practicable, to do the work of 

 inspection at railway stations where apples are being loaded, providing a certain number o 

 car-loads are in readiness. t 



(9) The inspector shall also make it his business to see that all lots of apples branded 

 by him are properly named as well as graded. 



(10) The inspector shall take especial care to make known to growers generally his 

 address, and business, and also to give them a full description of the proper methods of 

 packing and grading as to the No. 1 or the No. 2 brand. 



(11) Grade No. 1 shall consist of well-grown samples of the variety named, somewhat 

 uniform in size, well-shaped, of normal color, free from scab, worm holes, curculio knots, etc. 



(12) Grade No. 2 shall consist also of apples free from scab and worm holes, but which, 

 for lack of uniformity in size, deficiency in color, abnormal shape, or for any other reason, 

 are considered by the inspector unfit to be graded No. 1. 



(l.S) In addition to the ordinary grades No. 1 and No. 2, the inSpector may use his 

 judgment in the use of one or more stars, in cases of very fancy stock in his opinion having 

 especial merit. 



(14) Any inspector proven guilty of receiving compensation for his work from inter- 

 ested parties, and thus being in any way influenced to favor any particular shipper, shall at 

 once forfeit his position, and be subject to a heavy fine. 



(15) It might, perhaps, be well, the first season, to have little or no fee for inspection 

 until the benefits of the work begin to be appreciated, and growers begin to find that they 

 can sell for cash f. o. b. to distant buj^ers their inspected stock, on account of the confi- 

 dence gained by the brand. 



A CHEAP GREENHOUSE. 



Sir, — In your March number you have a plan for heating a greenhouse. I 

 send you the plan of one we made ourselves. It works very well, and costs very 

 little. We use old gas pipes, costing only one cent a foot, a box stove for the

coil, and a barrel for water. The size of the greenhouse is 30 ft. by 16 ft. The 

 pipes run under the beds. I send you ground plan of it, and will be pleased to 

 answer through your journal, any questions cor.cerning it.
