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.

Excerpt from Forty-Fifth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1913 The crop in storage sold this spring at prices far under the cost of produc tion in many cases. This low price was the result of over-production, and while not a full crop, by any means, it was heavy enough to give a slump in prices, which we hope may not soon be repeated. All our selling organizations seem to be helpless in the face of an over crop, and the prices and profits so long believed in fail. This year, with a crop almost a failure, apples have kept within reason; hence we begin to feel that the apple business may soon be over done, and caution seems necessary on the part of our fellow investors and ourselves, who already know the business. How it fares with the other lines, let us see? The peach growers last year had good crops and good prices; this year they have had better crops and only part of the planting bearing, but prices have fallen Often below that of apples, so that here we feel it time to sound the note of warning to those about to plunge deeper into the game. In the smaller fruits, cherries have not been any higher price than usual. Berries have been higher because of the unusually dry weather which dried up part of the crop.

Excerpt from Forty-Ninth Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1917 Japanese plums are not of value. There are two hybrids between the Japanese and the American, one called the Orinato and one called the Emerald, that we find distinctly better than anything else we have on the farm, and I would like to see our nurserymen get hold of some of these. Among the strictly American plums there are several that we found very good - Brackett, Admiral Schley, Surprise, B'ixby and 'cheney. Our nurserymen do not seem to get these new varieties, and I think it would pay them to do so. We believe that the men who are growing American plums in the colder parts of Canada are making far more money out of their plums than any of the men who grow European plums. They come in earlier when the people are eager for plums, and they sell for twice what you can get for the European plums.

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.

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.

Excerpt from Forty-First Annual Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, 1909 Fifty years have passed away Since the charter members subscribed at Hamil ton, Ontario, forming the beginning of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, that has been in active force in Ontario since that date. It will be well at this time to take a retrospective glance at the progress made during the last fifty years in Horticulture in Ontario, and, at the same time, see if the lessons learned in that fifty years may enable us to improve and make more profitable our calling in the future. There are a number of papers to be read at this meeting, looking back fifty years, in regard to special lines of fruit-growing. I would not be able to touch upon the ground occupied by these papers if I felt inclined, as my experience does not reach so far and our provincial statistics do not give us very much information at that very early date. However, remembering back for thirty-five years I know that the progress has been most wonderful in the acreage of the various fruits. Dur ing that time we have seen most, if not all, of the canning factories and jam fac tories established in Ontario. All of the tender fruit-growing industries have prec tically been established within fifty years and have grown to the very considerable proportions that we know they have reached to -day. It is true there were at that time a considerable number of apple orchards, but they were of Small dimensions individually and it has only been of late years that orchardists have gone into the growing of apples on an extensive scale, directly for commercial purposes. According to the Blue Books, we have at present growing in Ontario over apple trees in bearing; acres of vineyards; acres of orchard and garden.
