MARKETIIVG 

 The Value of Good Packing 



In the year 1911 there was an effort 

 on the part of hoth the American and 

 Canadian fruit growers to place their 

 peaches on the English market. The 

 difficulty in the profitable growing of 

 peaches seemed to be with successfully 

 marketing the product. 



The peach is a fruit which cannot be 

 picked until it is well developed and the 

 ripening process has begun. After that 

 period, with most varieties, it is not a 

 long time until it begins to decay. A 

 few varieties like the Elberta, for in- 

 stance, will hold up in shipment for a 

 considerable time, say from one to two 

 weeks. 



Consul Byington reports that the Can- 

 adian government imported into England 

 from Canada during the season of 1911 

 a total of 14,000 cases of peaches shipped 

 as an experiment to see whether Cana- 

 dian peaches could be successfully placed 

 in the English market. His report is 

 that the shipment is a success, and that 

 the business will be doubled next year. 

 Consul Swalm reports as follows: "A 

 shipment of 2,000 cases of fine peaches 

 was received here recently from the 

 Washington peach-growing section, and, 

 like all Washington fruit, attracted much 

 attention in all the markets where 

 shown. Following a shipment from 

 Washington came one from Ontario, Cana- 

 da, the packing of which was so superior 

 that better prices were obtained, although
