Have you found suitable varieties 

 for your soil and section ? 



The beginner should make his 

 trials wide to arrive at this. 



Professionals should bear in mind 

 the best variety is always moving for- 

 ward. 



A trial patch is very interesting-, 

 and inexpensive, and leads to im- 

 provements that increase the effec- 

 tiveness of one's work for all time. 



I have some of the best varieties 

 of both these fruits.

now is able to offer a variety of 12 differont 

 premium plants to its members and this 

 opportunity of obtaining hardy shrubs, etc., 

 has boon taken full advantago of during the 

 past season. Emphasis was liid upon the 

 establishment of testing stations to find 

 fruit and flowers suitable for the province 

 and reports from the first year of this work 

 (1909), were most satisfactory, so much s) 

 that the advisability of the extension of the 

 work was discussed and taken into consid- 

 eration later in the session. The report 

 further stated that prizes had been award- 

 ed in various districts of the province of 

 Manitoba for the best kept school grounds. 

 The prizes consisted of valuable and suit- 

 able horticultural material and in the 

 awarding of these prizes the society had re- 

 ceived the co-operation of the inspectors.

Dr. A. H. Baird, gave an interesting 

 address on the dahlia, in which he said that 

 this is the mo.st adaptable of flowers, show- 

 ing the greatest transformation in the past 

 100 years and ranging in color from black 

 to white, green dahlias oven being known. 

 He .stated that it is a most suitable flower 

 for this western country, a species having 

 being produced by artificial propagation, 

 which would flower in as short a space of 

 time as six weeks from the date of planting.
