Protect Your Fruit 



BY USING 



WARNER'S 



APPLE BARREL PADS 



A pad placed in each end of the barrel holds 

 the applei firm and absolutely preventi them 

 (lom being bruised when heading the barrel 

 and shipping. 



It costs very little and pays well.

When Writing Advertisers Tell Them You Saw 

 Their Advertisements in The Canadian Horti- 

 culturist. 



fruit was allowed to go to waste. This was 

 largely due to the fact that many itinerant 

 apple buyers were not operating. Conse- 

 quently, growers who in previous years nad 

 been dependent upon these men to handle 

 their fruit found themselves left with a crop 

 of apples on their trees, with no knowledge 

 of marketing and with no established 

 trade connections. At all events the season 

 was not a satisfactory one. 



To predict now what is likely to be Lue 

 market situation this autumn is impossible. 

 There is reason to hope that a much more 

 satisfactory state of affairs will prevail than 

 in 1914. In the first place the panic is over; 

 all classes have had tame to reflect upon the 

 general situation and upon their own posi- 

 tions. Reflection has resulted in, or been 

 followed by, optimism, and the Canadian 

 public, outwardly at all events, is less per- 

 turbed now than It was last fall. 



In the second place, our large consimiing 

 markets in the west promise to be as large 

 and important a factor as ever in disposing 

 of the fruit crop. Conditions there depend 

 largely upon the grain crop, which is re- 

 ported good in all districts. Money should 

 circulate freely and consumers should buy 

 readily. 



Thirdly, the laboring classes in Great Brit- 

 ain have secured employment at better 

 wages than they ever received, and the buy- 

 ing power which was reduced last year 

 through unemployment and panic, has now 

 been improved by the demand for labor. 



To these facts we must add one more: the 

 added puhlicity w<hich is being given to 

 Canadian fruit. In British Columbia, in the 

 Niagara Peninsula, and in Nova Scotia, great 

 efforts are being put forth to increase con- 

 sumption by direct advertising, and good 

 results are assured. — Dominion Fruit
