 ;PRAYEBS 



THE Experienced Fruit Grower 

 is the man who realizee the 

 importance of using only high- 

 class Sprayers. He knows that 

 spraying is what you make it— a 

 bard job or an easy proposition, 

 depending on the outfit. Most Grow- 

 ers have learned that it doesn't pay 

 to bother with cheap ones. Goulds' 

 Sprayers have a reputation to 

 maintain. They comprise a line of 



Over 25 Styles 



for both Hand and Power— all sim- 

 ple— all working parts brass to 

 withstand wear and the ohemioal 

 action of the solutions. Don't be 

 caught experimenting with a cheap 

 sprayer— see that the name Goulds 

 is cast on the pump. Its presence 

 is the assurance you are buying the 

 very best Sprayer made. It guar- 

 antees satisfaction and reliability.

Uniform Judging of Fruits 



The score cards for judging; fruits that 

 aro proposed by the Nova Scotia Fruit 

 (irowers Associution and * lat were publish- 

 ed in the December Cawauian HobticuI/- 

 TURI8T have been approved of by most 

 pomologisls who have seen them. The fol- 

 lowing comments have been received among 

 others, by Mr. K. VV. Starr, Wolfville, N.S., 

 who hud most to do with drafting the score 

 cards : 



Prof. W. S. Blair of Macdonald College. 

 — "I am glad to know that some definite 

 move is being made to develop a uniform 

 sj'stem of judging fruits. 1 have gone 

 carefully over the scale of points submitted, 

 and do not see how they can be improved 

 upon. It seems that everything is covered 

 by the proper number of points." 



Prof. H. L. Hutt, O.A.C., Guelph.— "The 

 scale of points proposed by your association 

 is a good one and a move in the right 

 direction. I believe that the values you 

 have assigned to the various points are near- 

 ly as they should be. I think there is one 

 point omitted, however, and that is the 

 polishing of specimens. This should be dis- 

 couraged as the bloom is part of the fruit 

 and perfect specimens of certain varieties 

 show it more or less clearly. At the 

 Ontario Horticultural Exhibition in To- 

 ronto, I judged all of the plate collections 

 of apples and although I had not time to 

 adopt your score card in judging all speci- 

 mens, I made use of it in close cases, and 

 as far as I know the results were entirely 

 satisfactory." 



In a letter to The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist Mr. W. T. Macoun, horticulturist 

 at Ottawa said: "The score card prepared 

 by the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion to be used in judging fruits is a very 

 good one, the explanation of the terms used 

 being a very good thing." 



The Canadian Horticulturist received 

 the following letter from S. B. Hatheway, 

 secretary of the New Brunswick Fruit 

 Growers' Association : "We have no meeting 

 scheduled for our executive until February, 

 but I have submitted the proposed score 



card to the members ui same, and find 

 that all are favorable towards it. My own 

 opinion is that it is not only practical 

 and useful, but will establish a uniform 

 standard, especially in eastern Canada, and 

 also be an incentive for the exhibitor, pro- 

 fessional or amateur, to show high scoring 

 fruit only. It is probable that the New 

 Brunswick Fruit Growers' Association will 

 adojjt the proposed cards." 



A Book You Should Have. — Headers of 

 The Canadian Horticui.tlkist, who have 

 not already done so should write to the 

 Northern Electric and Mfg. Co., of Mon- 

 treal, and secure a copy of the book on 

 rural telephones and telephone systems for 

 farm use which they are offering to give 

 away. This book treats of a subject of 

 vital importance to every farmer. To-day 

 is the day of modern machinery, labor- 

 saving devices and home comforts and con- 

 veniences of all kinds on the farm, and 

 the farmer, who neglects to avail himself 

 of every opportunity at hi.s command is 

 placing himself in a position where his 

 neighbors will quickly surpass him. The 

 use of the telephone on the farm has al- 

 ready been proven to be not only a tre- 

 mendous convenience, but a very, very valu- 

 able time and money saver as well. More- 

 over through its use the farmer is enabled 

 to be in touch with a thousand and one 

 matters appertaining to his business, which 

 otherwise would cost him heavily through 

 ignorance of their conditions. This booklet 

 not only tells abo\it the advantages of 

 telephones, but also gives the farmer a 

 great deal of valuable information in re- 

 gard to the steps necessary to take in or- 

 szanizing a telephone company in his own 

 community. We believe that this book, 

 Bulletin 2216, ought to be in the hands 

 of every farmer, and would strongly recom- 

 mend those of our readers, who are not 

 already familiar with its contents to send 

 for it at once.
