The Late H. S. Peart 



The Horticultural interests of Ontario 

 and of Canada have suffered a loss through 

 the death, which took place recently, of H. 

 S. Peart, B.S.A., the Director of the Horti- 

 cultural Experiment Station at Jordan 

 Harbor, Ont. The late Mr. Peart was born 

 at Nelson, Ont., near Burlington, and was 

 a son of Edwin Peart, a well-known general 

 fruit grower of that locality. Mr. A. W. 

 Peart, Provincial Fruit Experimenter for 

 the Burlington Di.strict and a Director of 

 the Horticultural Publishing Co., Ltd., is a 

 cousin. Mr. H. S. Peart lived on the fruit 

 farm of his father until 1899 when he un- 

 dertook a course at the O.A.C., Guelph, 

 specializing in horticulture and graduat- 

 ing in 1903. Immediately after graduation 

 he was appointed assistant in horticulture 

 at the same institution which position he 

 filled with credit until his appointment as 

 Director of the Jordan Harbor Station, on 

 Juno 1, 1907. 



When Mr. Peart assumed charge of the 

 station the land had been only recently ac- 

 quired for such a purpose. For the most 

 part it was in very rough condition. In 

 the brief interval that has elapsed the sta- 

 tion grounds have been transformed. Hand- 

 some buildings have been erected and the 

 planting of different varieties of fruits has 

 been conducted extensively with the result 

 that the Station has already reached a posi- 

 tion where fruit growers are beginning to 

 l)etter realize and appreciate its value. 

 The work already accomplished under Mr. 

 Peart's direction, has been important, al- 

 though many of his plans cannot bo perfect- 

 ed for years to come. Additonal sadiiess 

 is lent to the circumstances by the realiza- 

 tion that the Grim Reaper in this instance 



has cut off this useful and promising young 

 life just as it was entering upon an era 

 bright with possibilities for still greater 

 valuable public service. The family of the 

 late Mr. Peart has the sympathy of an un- 

 usually wide circle of friends. 



The Canadian Pacific Railway has a force 

 of men at work on two large tracts of land 

 in the East Kootenay District, one at Yahk 

 and the other at Curzon Junction. The 

 land is being cleared and planted in fruit 

 trees. It is the intention of the company 

 to dispose of this land in 10 and 20-acre 

 lots to bona fide settlers.
