FRUIT GROWING
POSSIBILITIES IN CANADA. OTTAWA, Canada. The Canadian Prairies, one of the richest grain-growing districts in the world, is now being considered suitable for fruit growing. Professor J. S. Shoemaker, prominent horticulturist of the University of Alberta, has developed an orchard in Edmonton which includes 300 varieties of apple trees, plum trees and other fruit trees. A feature of Dr Shoemaker’s experiments is an apple tree shoot, less than two feet high, planted last spring which has already produced luscious fruit. Through experiments and grafting, he has.succeeded in producing stocks which are almost impervious to either summer’s drought or winter’s cold, a necessary characteristic of plants to oe grown on the broad Canadian Prairies.
