 when it is cut and put 

 m water, Just as well 

 as when in the ground.

 every family cannot 

 enjoy this grand flower,

 that it is as easy to 

 grow as the potato.

Marketing the Peach Crop. 



C. W. Baxter, Chief Fruit Inspector for 

 Eastern Ontario and Quebec. 



OWING to the increased planting of 

 peach trees in Ontario during the past 

 few years, many of which will come into 

 bearing this season, and owing to the antici- 

 pated large yield from the older trees, it 

 is expected that the 1915 peach crop will be 

 large. 



The killing of the peach buds during the 

 winter of 1913-14 was followed by an excel- 

 lent growing season. The result was that 

 the trees went into last winter under ideal 

 conditions and with a large increase in the 

 number of fruit spurs. Reports received up 

 to date show that the trees have wintered 

 well. There has been no killing of the buds 

 by frost, and should nothing of a serious 

 nature occur it is reasonable to predict a 

 peach crop which will be the largest in the 

 history of Canada. 



The peach growers of Ontario experienced 

 difficulties in marketing the large crop of 

 1913, and many marketed their fruit at a 

 loss. It is necessary, on account of the 

 very perishable nature of peaches, that the 

 crop be moved quickly, and it is obvious 

 that some provision should be made to ob- 

 tain a wider and more systematic distribu- 

 tion if the difficulties experienced In 1913 

 are to be avoided in 1915.

 strength and quality for long, long service, because we make 

 it throughout of special standard Frost Hard Steel Wire, made 

 and heavily galvanized in our own mills. 



Proper proportions and perfect fabric are ensured by weaving 

 on the latest automatic power machine — the only one of its
