IMPERIAL FRUIT SHOW
The Imperial Fruit Show, which was inaugurated as an annual fixture by the Dailv Mail, 15 years ago, has just been held at Cardiff. It was an exhibition of Empire-grown fruit, and some 2000 exhibits were entered in the 122 classes provided. There is no doubt that the show has been a factor in making the people of Britain more fruit conscious, which is all to the good of the overseas Dominions whose are steadily ousting foreign competition from the market. Thero were many special features at this show. Among them was a new, early English dessert apple, which is now on the market under the name of Laxton's Fortune. This apple is ready for consumption before the Worcester Pearmain, and experts are of the opinion that its advent will check the tendency of growers to market the Worcesters before they are quite ripe. A great deal of interest was taken in the large display of South African lemons. This was chiefly due to the tremendous shortage of Italian lemons. South Africa has stepped into the broach to some purpose.
