THE meetings of the Niagara Peninsula 

 Fruit Growers' Association held last 

 month at St. Catharines and Winona 

 were well attended. In consequence of 

 the deatli of the late president of the associ- 

 ation, Mr. Murray Pettit, vice-president 

 Robert Thomiison filled the chair with his us- 

 ral capability. Secretary Carl E. Fisher was 

 at his deslf, looking after the arrangements 

 of the convention. Feeling references were 

 made to the work of Mr. Pettit, and a reso- 

 lution of condolence moved by Mr. J. W. 

 Smith and seconded by Mr. W. H. Bunting, 

 was unanimously carried. This, on behalf 

 of the association, has been tendered to Mrs. 

 Pettit and her family. 



PEACH PRODTTCTION 



"Profitable Peach Production," was a sub- 

 ject handled by Mr. T. A. Farrand, of Eaton 

 Rapids, Mich., in a way that showed the 

 speakers' close association with the growing 

 of this fruit. Mr. Farrand spoke altogether 

 from Michigan conditions where he said the 

 area for profitable peach production was 

 limited. Many mistakes were always being 

 made in trying to grow the fruit under un- 

 favorable conditions. The location of a 

 peach orchard was the most important fac- 

 tor. Trees must be planted on a high ele- 

 vation. Frost is bound to settle in low 



places, and under these circumstances the 

 buds run a sure chance of, being nipped. 



"I advise you to plant the varieties the 

 markets demand," said Mr. Farrand. 

 "There is at tlie present time no demand 

 for white peaches in Michigan." The El- 

 berta is the standard variety there, although 

 not so hardy in the bud as some other vari- 

 eties. Engol's Mammoth is a much hard- 

 ier peach than the Elberta. There wag never 

 a time in history when good fruit was over- 

 produced. 



The speaker laid strong emphasis on 

 planting the trees a suitable distance apart 

 as some growers put them in altogether too 

 close to each other. Twenty to 24 feet apart 

 would be about right. Good judgment must 

 be used here as well as in other things. 



In ansivering a number of questions, Mr. 

 Farrand gave the following list of six yel- 

 low-fleshed peaches for a continuation : St. 

 John, Engol's Mammoth, Kalamasioo, El- 

 berta, Smock and .Salway. Mr. J. W. 

 Smith's list was : St. John, Early Crawford, 

 Elberta, Yellow Rareripe, Lemon 1' lee anU 

 Smock. The man from Michigan didn't 

 know of a better yellow peach than the St. 

 John or Triumph. 



With Mr. Farrand, clay was preferable 

 to light sand for growing peaches. In his 

 state, the package known as the Georgia

THE SEEDS THAT GROW 



Did you ever prepare a garden most carefully, 

 sow the Seeds most tenderly, and then wait — 

 and wait in vain — for most of them to come 

 up? Then you'll realize the expensiveness of 

 poor seeds — seeds that' are too old or too weak 

 to germmate. 



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 heahhy, vigor- 

 ous seeds that you can depend on by buying
