duces heavy crops of potatoes, which sell at 

 18 cents a bag of 80 pounds. 



I stopped at the homo of Mr. I'arkham, 



Cherry Lodge. His orchard is about 5() 

 acres in extent, with many varieties, which 

 are mostly Fameuse type. This would be a 



Its Beautiful Singing Tone 

 Its Evenness of Scale 

 Its Responsiveness of Action 

 Its Beauty of Design and 

 Its capacity to withstand hard usage 

 without becoming "Tinny." 



The Gourlay Piano is supreme in all those 

 qualities which are the desire of musicians and 

 music-lovers. 



Booklet Number Six contains the voluntary 

 testimony of many of Canada's prominent music- 

 ians who have purchased Gourlay Pianos. Write 

 for it.

f^rand sight in picking time, ag all the trees 

 are of a healthy kind that would produce 

 the best fruit. One old veteran tree near 

 the house has been traced back over 100 

 years, and it is a remarkable tree in many 

 ways. Generally trees of this age are de- 

 limbed and poorly balanced at the tops, but 

 the top of this tree is a beautiful shape. It 

 has a capacity of 10 barrels, which are said 

 to look like the Spy apple. They are good 

 keepers. Its girth one foot above ground 

 is over eight feet. Cherry trees, pear trees 

 and plum trees arc of the healthiest kinds. 

 People in this section are beginning to find 

 out that the fruit crop is worthy of their 

 best attention. I am looking for great 

 things in apple production 111 this county 

 during the next 10 years.

It is a little hard to know where we are 

 at horticulturally just at the moment of 

 writing. Up till three days ago we had an 

 exceptionally fine s])ring, and on April 13 

 the maples and elms had nicely come into 

 flower, just a little better than a month 

 ahead of what they were a year ago. Trees 

 and shrubs generally were rapidly opening 

 their leaf buds. But alas for our too san- 

 guine expectations! the mercury has gone 

 down to 16 above zero this morning (April 

 16), and we are having a disagreeable snow 

 storm. It is quite likely that the seed crop 

 will be lost on the more advanced of the 

 forest trees, but it seems hardly likely that 

 the fruit crop would be killed. If the buds 

 are not already far enough along to receive 

 damage, the setback will be of much benefit, 

 as it will reduce the chances of destruction 

 a little later on. 



The Western Horticultural Society has 

 been successful in getting through legisla- 

 tion changing its name to the Manitoba 

 Horticultural and Forestry Association. In 

 keejjing with the latter part of its name, 

 the Association has within the past two 

 weeks had given under its auspices an illus- 

 trated lecture on the forests of Canada by 

 Mr. Abram Knechtel of the Forestry 

 Branch. Ottawa. Mr. Knechtel has been on 

 a lecturing tour through the west. His col- 

 ored lantern slides are exceedingly good. 



The newly organized Winnipeg Horticul- 

 tural Society is holding some good meet>- 

 ings, and promises to do much good in the 

 citv.
