Book Description
Excerpt from Forty-Fourth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1912 We have again gathered at our annual meeting to discuss matters of interest to us all. The season, that is now fast drawing to 'a close, has had its advantages and disadvantages. The extremely cold winter through which we passed has affected some of us seriously, but generally speaking, the season has been quite above early expectations. The great awakening that has taken place during the last few years in the scientific care of orchards, has born fruit in many districts that formerly produced little or no fruit. The campaign of education to the producer has shown its value, and many orchards which were formally an eye sore and a disgrace to the farm on which they stood are now its pride and delight. Not only are farmers showing greater interest in their orchards now planted, but they are planting out apple, peach, pear, and plum trees as never before. SO great is the interest of all classes In fruit growing and so rapidly is the area of orchards increasing, that it is very important that it should be guided along the best and most substantial lines.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fifty-Fourth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1922 It is with a great deal Of pleasure that we welcome you to our sixty-third Annual Meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association. We meet to-day under peculiar circumstances, having passed through a very strenuous season in which we faced conditions never before forced upon us. Questions regarding this will come up at our meeting to-day. In fact, the executive, in preparing the programme for this convention was careful in putting on our programme speakers who were prepared to deal with the different situations as we saw them during the past year. I am sure this will meet with your approval and that your interest will be held throughout the convention. We are glad to see so many of our old friends here to-day and to note the number of new faces. The apple season of 1922 was very peculiar. We had an excessively heavy crop of tree fruits, and when the apples were put on' the market they came in competition with the more tender fruits from the Niagara District, such as peaches, plums and pears, which militated against the sale of our apples. I made a number of visits to the Toronto markets, and I found on different occa sions the dealers were completely overwhelmed with the supply of fruits from the different parts of the Province. It was absolutely impossible for them to make satisfactory sales of any of these fruits because it was a matter of putting on the market a product which the people would not buy. However, we trust throughout the Province generally conditions have not been too bad and that the fruit growers have made a reasonable profit out of their enterprise.

Book Description
Excerpt from Forty-Seventh Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1915 The war in which Europe is engaged has already caused the fruit growers of Ontario a very heavy loss. The loss of life while not great as yet, is likely to be more serious in future. The interference with and increased cost of transportation, and in some cases lessened demand has interfered with the marketing of fruit to a serious extent. One feature that must be faced is the necessity of increased revenue for war purposes and - the certainty of heavier taxes to raise this revenue.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1892 His Worship the Mayor (dr. Secord) then addressed the meeting. He said I am sure it gives me considerable pleasure, not only from my personal capacity, but also from my representative capacity as Mayor of this city, to be present and welcome the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association to Brantford. I am only sorry that the good opinion which possibly the gentlemen frbm a distance might have entertained of our constantly pleasant climate, should have been marred by unfavorable weather, but I can say that Brantford, in other respects, compares favorably with any other part of Ontario. The meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association here for the first time, for th discussion of eteete of importance to the progress of their industry, certainly must tend to the comfort, happiness and general good of the community. The trend of the present age is toward recognizing the dependence of man upon man. Now, sir, your society is certainly an example of what persistent effort will do. I understand that you are well on to a third of a century in age and that from a small beginning, thirty-three years ago, you have grown to considerable proportions at this time. I can only say to you that you must have the gift of patience in observations. You take a seed, whichpossibly you may have secured from some distant climate, entirely new to you and entirely new to your climate, and you will watch the development of that seed, and by the fruit which it bears you will endeavor to improve the grades which are already, with us in Canada in such profusion. Now, sir, possibly 'it would be more fitting if I were to confine my remarks to our own community and to the hearty welcome which we give to you. We welcome all men, and all ladies as well, and we hope that you will continue to prosper and go on adding to the happiness of our citizens by means of the health-giving properties of your fruit, so that in the future you will be one of the best recognized societies in the country, and that your influence will extend from year to year.

Book Description
Excerpt from Forty-Third Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1911 The number of new fruits of merit which are introduced each year is quite small. This is fortunate, in that fruit growers are not tempted to grow a large number of varieties. Many of them grow too many already without undue tempta tion. The time is coming, however, when there will be many new fruits of merit available for introduction, and there should be some plan worked out whereby the grower will be kept from planting any large number of trees or plants of a variety which has not been strongly recommended by some institution or society. The practice of cc-operative societies buying fruit trees for their members is a good one, as in this way the number of varieties grown in a district is limited, and only those most suitable for the district are planted. The reason why a large number of varieties Of merit will soon be available for introduction as that up to within quite recent years the development Of new sorts by the Experiment Stations has been carried on. In a very small way, and few things worthy of being grown in the best fruit districts have been originated. All this is changed, however, and fruit breeding is now an important part of the work Of the Horticultural Department of a large proportion of the fifty Odd Experiment Stations in the United States, and Canada also is doing, if not her share, at least doing something. Two States which are breeding fruits on a large scale are South Dakota and Minnesota. From South Dakota a number of new fruits have already been. Sent out and the Minnesota State Breeding Station, though organized but a few years ago, has originated some good things already. The New York Experi ment Station is beginning to distribute new fruits, and has already sent out some new apples, raspberries, and strawberries. The standard varieties we have to-day are almost all of them chance seedlings from the thousands of seedlings which have sprung in America and Europe during the past one hundred years or more, and it is scarcely-to be expected that anything as good will be Obtained from the limited number grown by comparatively few institutions and individuals for the especial purpose of Obtaining new varieties.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-Sixth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1894 In rising to deliver, what falls to my lot tonight, the thirty-fourth annual address of the President to the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, I feel deeply impressed with the truth of Solomon's affirmation that there is nothing new under the sun. After thirty-three of my predecessors have performed annually this task you may well wonder what there is left for me to say that has not already been said. My immediate predecessor had the advantage of most of us and especially of me in. Coming, as he did, both before and after the great Columbian Exposition. In his address two years ago he had the great exhibition in anticipation. One year ago he had it all before him in its magnificent fulfilment. Two years ago this Association had to consider what its duty was in connection with the fruit interests of this province at the great World's Exposition, and how best it could perform that duty. One year ago it need do little but talk of its achievements and the honors that it won there. And it will look back with pride to those achieve ments for many years to come.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-Fifth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1893 I referred, last year, to my work in connection with the Ontario Fruit Exhibit for the World's Fair, giving a short description of the initiatory work then completed; I desire now to briefly refer to the continuation of that work and the final result as described by the judges at the close of their labors. On the 25th day of March last, I issued a circular to the Fruit Growers of Ontario through the channel of our Farmers' Instit.utes and Fruit Growers' Associations, urging them to take some united action in their separate localities, whereby their fruits might be fairly represented at the World's Fair, pointing out what seemed to me to be the most simple and at the same time most economical and effective plan I could suggest. In answer to this appeal I received a large number of very encouraging replies. I then had some two hundred cases made of convenient size for shipping fresh fruits in their best condition; these were forwarded to those points where action was being taken; they were filled with packing material and also a circular of instruction, how to pack and ship, together with forms of invoice, address cards, etc. These were returned again from time to time and served a very good purpose. I also pointed out in this circular that the quantity need not be so large, but the quality and regularity of shipments most important. I can now, as the representative of the fruit interests of Ontario on that occasion, tender my most hearty thanks to those who so nobly and patriotically, with the choicest fruits of their locality, assisted me to carry the horticultural banner of our province to such a successful issue, and that at perhaps the greatest exhibition of fruit the world has ever seen brought together. I think, sir, it will be readily conceded that Ontario had the largest exhibit of fruit, scored the largest number of points, rated the highest as to quality, of any exhibit on the grounds and in order to make room for our display several States generously con tributed a portion of their space. Washington Territory allowed us some forty feet along the centre passage South Dakota, twelve feet, and the N orth-west Territories some thirty feet, all of which was filled to repletion by the generous contributions of the fruit growers of Ontario.

Excerpt from Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Fruit-Growers' Association of Ontario, 1897 Thoughtful men, however, have been trying to solve the question, and, it seems to me, with every prospect of success, and I think that many will agree with me, when I say that there is even a greater success in the future then there has been in the past, if fruit growing is carried on in a business-like way, and advantage taken of the new open ings which we have found in the markets of England for our surplus fruit.
