THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



July, 1910 



The Genius of the Builder enters into 

 •very part of a 



Wttda^ |liainr 



Why does a Stradivarius occupy such an exalted 

 place among violins, when another, to all appear- 

 ances the same, can be bought for a few dollars ? 

 One has the genius of the builder in it, while the 

 other is a mere lifeless shell, an imitation. It is the 

 genius of the builder alive in the Gourlay Piano 

 that compels the admiration of musicians every- 

 where throughout Canada.

A Guide for Apple Growers 



We are in receipt of a copy of The Cana- 

 dian Apple Growers' Guide, by Linus Wool- 

 verton, M.A. Mr. Woolverton was editor of 

 The Canadun Horticitltcrist and Secre- 

 tary of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion from 1886 to 1903, in which capacities 

 he gained a thorough insight into methods 

 of apple growing, to say nothing of the 

 practical experience he gained on his own 

 large fruit farm. 



The book is divided into three parts. The 

 first part is a complete guide to the plant- 

 ing, culture, harvesting and marketing of 

 apples. The second part is devoted to a de- 

 scription of the apples of Canada illustrat- 

 ed from specimens of varieties grown in the 

 Dominion. Part three contains a list of va- 

 rieties of apples recommended for planting 

 in the various apple districts. The book is 

 handsomely bound and profusely illustrated. 

 It is a credit to the author and to the pub- 

 lishers and will be found of interest not 

 only by beginners but by experts as well. It 

 is being sold by Wm. Briggs, Toronto.
