B. Whytc, W. J. Kerr, L. A. Smith and 

 Axr. Nicholson. 



Mr. Macoun drew attention to the fact 

 that there was a good market in Ottawa 

 for a good class of vegetables, and strongly 

 advised the members of the association to 

 cater to this market by producing the best 

 possible quality of vegetables, making their 

 name known as producers of a first-class ar- 

 ticle. He advised the individual growers to 

 make a specialty of one particular variety 

 of vegetables, as this would help them 

 greatly in working up a good class of cus- 

 tomers. Vegetable growers in the vicinity 

 cf all the large cities would do well to fol- 

 low such advice. 



Later, Mr. Kerr showed his visitors over 

 a large patch of Herbert Raspberries, of 

 which he grows a good many. Although 

 they were planted out late last summer, and 

 were being cultivated more with a view to 

 producing new plants than fruit, many of 

 the bushes were so heavily laden with fruit 

 as to be bent almost to the ground. The 

 Herbert Raspberry was originated in Ot- 

 tawa some 22 years ago by Mr. R. R. Vvhyte 

 and has proven itself one of the most if not 

 the most valuable raspberry for all purposes 

 that has ever been originated. It is exceed- 

 ingly hardy, a heavy bearer, and the fruit is 

 of the very best quality as was shown by 

 comparison with ether varieties also grown 

 by Mr. Kerr. Mr. W. T. Macoun, Do- 

 minion Horticulturist, states that for the 

 section surrounding Ottawa, the Herbert 

 Raspberry is the best berry he knows. 



A short inspection was then made of Mr. 

 Kerr's nursery, where he has a large variety 

 of small fruits and ornamental stock grcw- 

 iug,after which Mr. Macoun conducted the 

 party to the Central Experimental Farm 

 and showed them what was there being done 

 in the way of introducing and testing new 

 varieties of fruits, tests with ditierent 

 methods of cultivation and fertilization and 

 numerous ether experiments which are be- 

 ing carried on and the results of which are 

 made known to the public through the pub- 

 lishing of bulletins which are issued from 

 time to time. After inspection of the lawns, 

 flower beds and shrubbery borders, propa- 

 gating beds and shrubbery of the Jl.xperi- 

 mental Farm, the party dispersed, having 

 spent an enjoyable and profitable after- 

 noon.
