cross brandies. Fruit growing would be a 

 greater success in the province if agents sell- 

 ing would give a few instructions or have 

 some information in pamphlet form to go 

 with stock. 



New Brunswick 



The appointment of a provincial horti- 

 culturist and the appropriation of $2,500 for 

 the encouragement of horticulture is cer- 

 tainly a step in advance and indicates a 

 real desire to get something done. Three 

 new illustration orchards are to be set out 

 this spring and the old ones will receive 

 closer attention than it was possible to give 

 them in the past. The horticulturist has 



already visited three illustration orchards, 

 and three orchard meetings and t.vo evening 

 sessions were held in Charlotte county, the 

 week ending March 5th, at which special 

 atteniion was given to the renovation of o.d 

 orchards and the home fruit garden. 'Ihe 

 balance of the illustration orchards will be 

 visited before growth starts and pruned, and 

 again in June when demonstrations of plant- 

 ing, pruning and spraying will be given and 

 general orchard practice discussed. 



The Fruit Growers' Association is plan- 

 ning an active campaign and have already 

 doubled their membership. Efforts will be 

 made to hold a record-breaking apple ex- 

 hibit and three days' convention in St. John 

 about the first week in November with a 



view to attracting wide-sxiread attention to 

 our fruit growing possibilities. It is ex- 

 pected that 1910 will prove to be a very im- 

 portant one in the history of New Bruns- 

 wick fruit growing. 



Prince Edward Island 



J. A. Moore 



The Wealthy is perhaps the apple best 

 suited to Prince Edward Island if it is giv- 

 en a favorable location and is properly hand- 

 led. It needs a well sheltered spot, for 

 when it is ripe it will drop easily, but will 

 hold on the tree till the first week in 

 October. 



It is ridiculous for any man to try to get 



OUT OF 259,000 PHONES IN USE IN 

 CANADA, 250,000 ARE MADE BY US 



DON'T you think that fact almost speaks for itself? There hardly seems much left to say. No 

 better evidence could be demanded — or given — of the absolute perfection of every instrument 

 turried out by us. For a long time past we have had our best engineers at work on the problem 

 of designing a more powerful Farmers' Line Telephone. And now we have it. The woi'k was com- 

 pleted months ago, although it is only now that we are offering it to you. The interval has been 

 devoted to "trying out" these new sets under the most exacting conditions it would be necessary to 

 meet anytime — anywhere. 



OUR NEWLY DESIGNED NO. 1317 TYPE TELEPHONE SET 



represents the attainment of perfection 

 in telephone constniction. Go over it 

 point by point — prove it (or yourself by 

 cotnp'irison with any other instrument

Take the transmitter 

 talk — you will find 

 long-distance type. 



Then there is the receiver — the ear- 

 piece; it is simply perfect — never will 

 you be bothereil by local noises to spoil 

 transmission. The result of long iind 

 cvreful study, it is the best possible 

 construction and combination for the 

 purpose. 



The generator has also been well 

 worked out — so well, in fact that this 

 generator is stronger than any other 

 telephone generator on the market. 

 Observe how easily it turns. It will 

 ring more telephones on a longer lino 

 than any other o-bar generator made 

 to-day. Thousand.s of these generntors 

 are now operating on lines more than 

 30 miles long with as many as 40 tele- 

 phones on the same line. 



The ringers and gongs are unusually 

 efficient. Our new type 38 ringer is not

SEND FOR OUR FREE BOOK 



ALL you have to do is to ask 

 for Bulletin No 2210 and 

 we will mail you FREE, at once, 

 the full story of farm telephones. 

 Asking for the book places you 

 under no obligation — don't hesi- 

 tate to tell us you want it. We 

 are anxious that you should be 

 posted on the value and economy 

 of farm telephones. A post card 

 will bring it.

 and operates on from only one-third to 

 one-fourth of the current ordinarily 

 required. The extra large brass gongs 

 produce a volume of noise fully half 

 as great again .as gongs on other f^ets. 

 You'll never fail to hear this telephone 

 when it rings. The switch hook makes 

 all contacts on the best grade of plati- 

 num points — Lhat makes for efficiency. 

 Taken as a whole, Set No. 1317 is an 

 extremely handsome and serviceablo 

 instrument. The woodvvoik is of 

 quarter-sawed oak of finest quajity and 

 handsome finish. And in point of ser- 

 vice this telephone is unsxirpassed — 

 More than !}iO,()(K) was put into it in 

 engineering expense alone before the 

 first instrument was made. Would you 

 like to know more about it? 

 The space here won't permit us to tell 

 you, but if you will write, we'll gladly 

 give you any information you may desii'C.
