Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, for the Year 1884 The strawberry, being the earliest fruit of the season, will first claim our attention. The cultivated varieties so deservedly popular in America are believed to be the progeny of crosses between the Fragaria Grandiflora of South America with our native Fragaria Virginiana, while the European sorts are said to have their origin in a similar manner from crosses between Fragaria Chilensis, of South America, and Fragaria Vesca, of Europe. The C'hilensis has light-coloured fruit and is less hardy, and the effect of this is seen in the general lighter colour of the progeny, and their inability to endure well the cold of our severe winters. As far as can be ascertained, the first of the American hybrids was Hovey's seedling, a variety which made its appearance in 1834, just fifty years ago. It held a prominent place in the estimation of strawberry growers for a very long period, and is still cultivated to some extent. Strawberries are divided into two classes, the pistillate and the hermaphrodite. The pistillate forms have the female organs in the flower well developed, while the pollen-bearing male organs are imperfect. Those known as hermaphrodites have perfect blossoms, in which both male and female organs are fully developed. In planting strawberries it is necessary to bear in mind this distinction, for, should a plantation be made of all pistillate forms the crop will be a failure 3 in such case all that is necessary to secure fruitfulness is to plant a row of one of the pollen-bearing varieties between every third or fourth row of the others, when the busy bees and other insects will carry the pollen from flower to flower until the whole are fertilized. I have enquired into the merits of more than sixty varieties of strawberries, all of which have been or are being tested in our Province; but I do not propose to weary you with a description of each, but to refer briefly to the leading sorts grown, adding those among the newer ones which seem to be of special promise.

Excerpt from Report of the Fruit Growers' Association of the Province of Ontario, for the Year 1874 Such is a brief summary of the year's productiveness as far as we have from observation been able to gather. You might perhaps wish me to stop here, but something more seems absolutely necessary in the President's Annual Address: After rummaging about in many directions, and bothering friends for some text, or subject matter of address, to be at one and the same time both interesting and useful, I em about to draw a few useful lessons or hints from the perambulatory habits of the Association itself.

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.

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.
