THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



February, 1910 



the fungus Clirysophlyctis endohioticn, 

 Schlib., which caused severe losses amongst 

 European potato crops, has for tlie first 

 time appeared on this side of the Atlantic, 

 being reported from a locality in New- 

 foundland. 



"2. Growers or consumSrs of potatoes must 

 guard against the introduction of this dis- 

 ease into the Dominion of Canada by select- 

 ing sound potatoes for cultivation and by 

 strictly rejecting any that appear diseased. 



"3. As yet, no case of the disease has 

 been recorded from any locality within the 

 Dominion. In the event of the disease ap- 

 pearing, samples of tubers should be sub- 

 mitted without delay to the botanist, Cent- 

 ral Experimental Farm, Ottawa for ex- 

 amination and advice. 



"4. Specimens of this disease preserved 

 in alcohol will be sent to any agricultural 

 institution or college for the purpose of 

 having type specimens for reference, as 

 soon as ready. 



"5. Copies of this bulletin may be had 

 free of charge on application to the Cent- 

 ral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. 



"6. The present bulletin has been pre- 

 pared as a warning, in the hope that all 



potato growers, merchants, gardeners and 

 private individuals will take immediate 

 steps to report promptly any cases of the 

 disease which may come to their knowledge, 

 and so join in preventing the spread of 

 this serious malady which has unfortunately 

 assumed such dangerous dimensions in 

 Europe."

THE SEEDS THAT GROW 



Did you ever prepare a garden most carefully, 

 ^ sow the Seeds most tenderly, and then wait— 



and w^ait in vain — for most of them to come 

 up? Then you'll realize the expensiveness of 

 poor seeds — seeds that are toojold or too w^eak 

 to germinate. 



You can't tell by looking at the seeds in the 

 store whether they will grow or not,^|You 

 can't be bothered testing them. 

 But you can be sure of getting healthy, vigor- 

 ous seeds that you can depend on by buying
