Canada's National Dish 



Winning poem in the contest recently conducted by The Canadian 



Horticulturist with the object of advertising The Apple a« Canada's 



National Dish. 



You may talk of the fruits grown in Europe, 



That come to us packed with great care; 

 You may sing of the fruits from the southland. 



In fact, fruits that grow everywhere. 

 But from where breaks the stormy Atlantic, 



To the west where the tide ebbs and flows; 

 Why the National Dish of our country, 



Is the Apple that Canada grows. 



Now after a day in the harvest. 



When you're feeling as dry as you can. 

 What fruit will compare with the flavor 



Of a Duchess or Red Astrachan ? 

 And when by the fireside you're sitting, 



'What fruit tastes as good as the Snows ? 

 And these are but few out of many 



Of the Apples that Canada grows. 



And then on a Saturday morning, 



When Mother commences to bake. 

 It doesn't seem to interest me greatly, 



If I see that she's making a cake; 

 But surely it makes me feel happy. 



And, oh, how my heart fairly glows, 

 When I see that she's filling the pie-crust. 



With the Apples that Canada grows. 



And when at the glad Christmas season, 



You're puzzled at just what to send, 

 To those who yet dwell in the homeland, 



To show that you still are a friend; 

 It matters not what is their emblem. 



Be it shamrock, or thistle, or rose. 

 Just send them a box or a barrel. 



Of the Apples that Canada grows. 



Toronto 



Investigations which have been made into 

 the trade done in dried and evaporated ap- 

 ples in the vicinity of Leeds, England, indi- 

 cate that the public demand continues to be 

 on a limited scale. The little demand which 

 exists for apples prepared in this way is 

 supplied mainly from California and at the 

 time of writing "apple rings" are quoted at 

 12 cents a pound retail and "cored apples" 



T. G. ROBINSON 



at 16 cents a pound retail. The only direc- 

 tion. It would appear, in which the use of 

 dried apples shows signs of increasing, is 

 that of mixing it with other fruit for the 

 making of salads. 



I appreciate The Canadian Horticulturist 

 and desire to receive it right along. — R. H. 

 Cowan, Berlin, Ont.
