Each bulletin also contains the text of the Fruit Marks Act in its amend- ed form, and explanatory notes for inspectors, growers, owners and packers of fruit. Everyone interest- PICKING.-All apples should he care- fully picked by hand. with the stems on and without breaking the skin or bruising the fruit in any way. Asageneral rule it is advisable for growers to harvest and pack their own fruit, whether they eventually fldlil on their own premises or ship to foreign markets. In either case it is a great advantage to the seller to know exactly the. quality and variety of the fruit in eVery package. It is a still greater advantage to have each variety icked gtjust the roperrime. No «he esaie buyer is 21118 to have his men arrive at each m-chaid 'ust when the a les in it are ready. I‘he result. is tart every season a great many orchards throughout Canada are picked either too early or too late. Fruit picked too early may keep but is apt to become tough and tasteless ; if picked too late it will not keep. as {he process of decay has already be- gun.

SELLING THE CROP. â€" VVlmn the grower is not also an exporter he may sell the apples in one of two ways, either at so much per 7:11'1‘01 m- at a lump sum for the entire orchard.
