The California Fruit News. — In 

 October the California Fruit Grower 

 changed its name to the California 

 Fruit News. This is one of the oldest 

 fruit journals in California, being now 

 in its fiftieth volume. It was estab- 

 lished in 1888 by Mr. Brainard L. 

 Bowley, and is now published by his 

 son, Mr. Howard C. Rowley, a man of 

 splendid ability and extremely popu- 

 lar with everyone connected with the 

 fruit industry in the State of Califor- 

 nia. Inasmuch as the Fruit News is 

 devoted almost entirely to general in- 

 formation, publishing very little about 

 growing fruit, the name seems to fit the 

 publication better than the old one. 

 The California Fruit News is devoted 

 extensively to giving news about the 

 fruit industry that would be a benefit 

 to the fruitgrower and fruit dealer. It 

 is a splendid publication. 



Fruit growers and farmers in the 

 past have sufi'cred to some extent by 

 getting impure seeds or sterile seeds. 

 Seed houses, realizing the loss from 

 such poor stock, are endeavoring to 

 supply the trade with pure seeds. 



Doubleday, Page & Co., Garden City, 

 New York, have issued a Garden Al- 

 manac, containing valuable and in- 

 structive reading matter for the farmer, 

 gardener and orchardist. 



Jno. A. Dreer of Philadelphia has is- 

 sued a very interesting catalog, "Dreer's 

 Annual." 



Dow 



Arsenate 



of Lead 



It has been shown in experimental 

 tests the past season in sections where 

 codling moth hav'e been severe that 

 Dow .\rsenate of Lead Is superior for 

 controlling this pest. The reason — it 

 contains no grit and is a much finer 

 divided article — hence possesses abet- 

 ter covering power. Adopted by the 

 State of Massachusetts for the third 

 successive season for their gypsy and 

 brown-tail irioth work.
