A Kood friond of Tiik Cav.^dian HorticuI/- 

 TIKI8T and one who h'.s Ijcon a siiL.scribcr 

 vincc tlif" first issno of tliis nia'j;azine ap- 

 peared, ii Mr. S. P. Morse of Lowville, 

 Ont. Soon after the Ontario Fruit Grow- 

 ers' Association was or- 

 (ranized in 1859, Mr. 

 Morse became a mem- 

 ber. From the birth of 

 The Canadian Horti- 

 culturist until the 

 present time he has been 

 a strong supporter of 

 the publication and has 

 helped in many ways. 

 He has been successful 

 in securing manj' ne* 

 sub.3criptions. In a let- 

 ter recently received 

 Mr. S. P. Morie from Mr. Morse he said: 

 "My desire to help increase the circulation 

 of The Canadian Hoticulturist was quite 

 as much of a patriotic sentiment as a busi- 

 ness enterprise. To dei-elop Ontario to her 

 full capacity as a producer of first-class 

 fruit was to add enormously to her resour- 

 ces and prosperity. I pointed out the 

 benefit to be derived from a paper that 

 specializes like The Canadian Horticultur- 

 ist. I was convinced that every person 

 who is interested in horticulture in any way 

 should take your magazine, which is au- 

 thentc and reliable." In The Canadian Hor- 

 ticulturist for January, 1907, brief men- 

 tion n"as made of Mr. Morse's good work. 

 At that time he had sent in 15 new sub- 

 scriptions and altogether has secured 60 

 or more. As Mr. Morse is now 91 years 

 old these results from his canvas are ex- 

 ceptional. 



As a fruit grower and as a nurseryman, 

 Mr. Morse has had a wide and varied ex- 

 perience. He still maintains his interest 

 in these things. The horticulturists of 

 Canada as well as The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist hope that Mr. Morse may yet add 

 many years to his alreadv long and U33- 

 ful life. 



Build a Telephone Line. — Now is the time

 and discuss the question of forming a rural 

 telephone company. You may not know 

 that by writing to the Northern Electric 

 Mfg. Co.. Toronto or Montreal, a little 

 booklet may be secured, free of cost, that 

 gives some valuable suggestions as to how 

 to go about forming a rural telephojte com- 

 pany. Ask for booklet No. 2216 when j'ou 

 write. 



Our cover cut this month illustrates a sec- 

 tion of the Niagara district of Ontario. Th" 

 view is from the nountain, near Winona, 

 and gives a fair idea of the extent of the 

 vineyards and orchards in that famous 

 district.
