" Feb. 9, 1916; 
" Dear Mr. Trier, — I laid your letter before the Fruit and Vegetable 
Committee yesterday, and they considered the higher price obtained 
for apples from Canada was due to the careful grading and packing 
of the same, and also to the possibility of obtaining continuous supplies 
of the same variety. They suggest that British growers should make 
their own brand, exercise the same care in grading and packing, and 
send continuous supplies of the same variety for as long a period as 
possible. 
" Yours faithfully, 
" S. T. Wright, Secretary to the Committee"
