BRITISH COLUMBIA The province of British Columbia has increased its production of apples by leaps and bounds of recent years. Conditions in that province are somewhat different to any other part of the Dominion, owing to the low rainfall, creat- ing in the best fruit districts conditions calling for irrigation. Under this irrigation system, however, British Columbia has been able to produce the highest quality of fruit and has proved its place in the world as a fruit-producing centre.

Owing to the numerous valleys of different altitudes and the proximity of some districts to the sea coast it is necessary to divide this province in numerous districts for the purpose of variety recommendations. The following districts and varieties are taken from Macoun's bulletin and from the experiences of the Dominion Experimental Stations at Summerland, B.C. and Sidney, B.C. RECOMMENDATIONS District 1.—Vancouver Island, southeast section. Blenheim, Cox Orange, Duchess, Transparent, Grimes, Gravenstein, King, Wealthy, Melba. District 2.—Vancouver Island, west coast. Alexander, Charlamoff, Duchess, Gravenstein, King, Wagener, Transparent. District 3.—Mainland, coast, northern coast valleys and lower mainland.
