'•I have used your Spavin Cure for a 



long time and would not l>e without it. 



Uavc killed a Bone Spavin by its use." 



OI.B CARI,SON. 



That tella the whole story. And 



hundreds of thousands have bad the 



same experience in the past 40 years. 



For Spavin, Riigbone, Corb, 



Splint, Swellings and 



all Lameness, 



Kendall's Spavin Cure cures the 

 trouble— makes the horse sound and 

 well— and saves tnoney for the owner 

 because it removes the causa of the 

 trouble.

Mention The Canadian tlorticulturiit when writin|r 



Along the Crows' Nest line, down to Medi- 

 cine Hat, and north by Macleod to Calgary, 

 is a market for small fruits, and for fruit 

 generally, which can be taken care of by 

 the Kootenay growers, and they should 

 strain every nerve to increase their output 

 to supply the demand in this territory. 



British Columbia fruit is handled through 

 one of two methods, either to the present 

 jobbing houses or to the retailers direct, the 

 latter principally for siuall fruits. It would 

 be possible for British Columbia growers to 

 establish their own jobbing houses, and sell 

 to the retail trade, but tliis involves a tre- 

 mendous amount of capital for distributing 

 iiouses with cold storage at the various 

 points agents or travellers 10 solicit busi- 

 ness, and we would have to handle early 

 American fruits and all varieties of citrous 

 fruits. On tlie whole, shipping to responsi- 

 ble jobbers is best at present, at least for 

 the most of our fruit. 



SUilitABY. 



What is most necessary in British Culum- 

 Lit IS a campaign of education along the 

 lijies of — 



(1) Growing more fruit, both large and 

 small; (2) growing better fruit; (,3) gron- 

 ing the varieties of fruit most warned; (4) 

 better packing and grading with greater 

 weight in packages; (5) care in loading 

 cars; (6) co-operation in every line, inclua- 

 uig the growing of uniform varieties, co-op- 

 eratiou as to information on prices between 

 dilterent districts and shiiipers, and in time, 

 a general co-operation over the province to 

 place fruit to the best advantage in the 

 proper markets. 



Okanagan Prospects 



It is estimated by VV. C. liicardo, man- 

 ager of tue Coldstream Itancii, that this 

 season all records for fruit production in 

 the Okauagan Valley will be broken, 'i'bere 

 are indications that the valley will produce 

 a oOO-car crop of apples, plums, prunes and 

 peaches, small fruits not being included. 

 Should this estimate be fulfilled, the crop 

 this yea; will exceed last year's by about 

 3Liu per ceno., due largeiy to young trees 

 coming into bearing for the first time. 



l''ruit prospects all through the valley are 

 bright. The trees escaped trost and promise 

 to bring to maturity a superior class of 

 fruit. 



Similkanveen, B. C. 



The fruit crop in the Similkameen Val- 

 ley gives promise this year of an enormous 

 yield. Around Keremeos, where over 18,- 

 000 trees have been planted within the pust 

 five years and are now in bearing, the fruit 

 growers will have a busy summer thinning 

 out the crop to prevent injury to the trees. 

 The peach and apple crop in particular will 

 be very large, no injury whatever being 

 done by the early frosts to peaches. 



I enjoy very much and greatly profit from 

 the reading of The Canadian Hortioultur- 

 181. — P. J. McLaren, Perth Co., Ont. 



Last year I made the acquaintance of 

 your most interesting and useful magazine. 

 It is a great pleasure to introduce this good 

 friend to anyone whom I think it might 

 help as it has done me. We Canadians must 

 try to know more of, and advertise better, 

 such magazines as are devoted to the devel- 

 opment of our magnificent country. When 

 one has a pleasant synopsis of what is so 

 very interesting and profitable to us, a peo- 

 ple to whom Nature has given such a good- 

 ly heritage, surely we cannot do otiier than 

 support such a periodical. — iviiss Ciraco Har-
