driven out among the farmers and by 

 means of glorious pictures of big red apples 

 they got the farmer to sign an order for 

 from one dozen to two dozen trees 

 and shrubs. When delivery was to be 

 made the buyers were notified that they had 

 to be in town on a certain date to take 

 their order away. At Somerset nearly every 

 farmer in the district ordered trees, and 

 we presume it was the same all along the 

 line. One man did not come for his order, 

 which amounted to a dozen mixed lots of 

 trees and shrubs, so that the agents sold it 

 to another farmer for $12, a reduction from 

 $15. The agent wanted to get the bundle 

 off his hands. His selling argument was 

 that that particular lot was the most beau- 

 tiful bundle he had sold all season, and he 

 was letting it go for nothing to make his 

 delivery complete. Nothing was said about 

 varieties, and it is doubtful if the agent 

 himself knew what was in the lot. Any- 

 way, he sold the bundle. 



Farmers make a serious mistake when 

 they buy trees of travelling American nur- 

 serymen. In the first place American raised 

 trees are grown under different conditions 

 of soil and climate to Manitoba conditions. 

 In the second place, varieties of apples that 

 will grow across the border are not hardy 

 enough for Manitoba. 



By buying from home nurserymen the 

 purchaser can buy only those varieties that 

 have a reasonable chance to grow in this 

 climate, as no nurseryman will risk his 

 reputation by supplying tender varieties. 

 As most farmers do not know what are the 

 best varieties, it is in all oases wise to ask 

 and accept the help of the nurserymen in 

 selecting varieties. — Varm Crops. 



The Canadian Horticttltttrist is all 

 right, — none better, and very few as good. —
