THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



August, 1910 



Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont, 



WILL RE-OPEN 



SEPTEMBER 20th, 1910 



Horticulture is art important branch of the 

 course of study. For earnest and enterprising 

 young men, Horticulture in its various branches 

 offers as large a reward for intelligent well di- 

 rected effort as any other pursuit or profession. 

 To those interested in fruit-growing, market 

 gardening, nursery work, floriculture, or land- 

 •"cape gardening, the primary object of the course 

 is to lay a foundation for the most successful 

 and intelligent work. To this end both the 

 science and art or the theory and practice are 

 taught. While the sciences are invaluable in giv- 

 ing accurate and definite knowledge regarding 

 the origin and growth of plants, and the composi- 

 tion and physical properties of soil, they cannot 

 tell us just how to select varieties or how to propagate, transplant, cultivate, fertilize, prune, spray or what is equally 

 essential in practice, harvest, store and market the product to the best advantage. In the class room and laboratory oi 

 in the field in the busy season a student attending College has an opportunity to study these various operations, and also 

 to learn the why and wherefore so far as is known. 



Have you received a copy of our 1910 and 1911 Calendar, which outlines in detail the work of the various courses? If 

 not, send for one TO-DAY. It will be mailed free on application to
