Table decoration supplies a variety of 

 taste. In this line, many ladies forfiet the 

 real use of the table. Too many flowers 

 and green material are employed and the 

 view of the guests often is obstructed. 



At horticultural exhibitions, collections of 

 plants and cut flowers are unnecessarily 

 stiff and artificial. The first prize exhibits 

 usually are well set up, every flower is seen 

 to advantage and the blending of color is 

 calm, quiet and harmonizing. The unsuc- 

 cessful exhibits may contain flowers that 

 are perfection, but they are so imperfectly 

 displayed, that they are void of attraction 

 to eitljer judge or spectator. 



In vegetable exhibits, there is need of im- 

 provement. The general rule is everything 

 mixed up. The word "effect" is scarcely 

 known. There is much to gain from expos- 

 ing our goods to the best possible advan- 

 tage. Have your exhibit on a slope and 

 keep each sort of vegetables grouped to- 

 gether. By all means, have names attached 

 to all. 



In the greenhouse or conservatory, stiff 

 formal groups are evident by the various 

 modes of arranging. They could be doubly 

 attractive. There is no need for having 

 the same old view and artificial aspect. 



The suburbs of a town supply another 

 picture. Every effort and much money is 

 lavished on the mansion, ornamental walls 

 and fancy verandahs and railings. When 

 the landscape man is required, who is he? 

 Oh, some handy man who claims that he is 

 a most capable authority for laying out 

 grounds. The result is a levelling up of the 

 ground, a lawn is supposed to luxuriate on 

 the surface of bricks or mortar, and some 

 rank growing trees arc planted that have to 

 be hacked and limbed-up in a couple of 

 seasons, for they are practically unsuited 

 to the restricted area. Have a practical 

 man for such work ; for what is the most 

 gaudy and costly house without a taste- 

 ful arrangement of lawns, trees, shrubs and 

 flowers? A well-kept place commends itself 

 in the locality. It is the admiration of 

 those on foot, bus, car and automobile. 

 Can any precept be given to imbue us to 

 aim at advancement in hortictdtural man- 

 agement P 



Further Fumigation Regulations 



An additional regulation has been adopt- 

 ed under the Destructive Insects and Pests 

 Act, of the Dominion government, by which 

 all nursery .stock originating in Japan cr 

 in any of the states of Vermont, New 

 Hampshire, Maiiie, Massachusetts, Connec- 

 ticut and Rliode Island shall, after fumi- 

 gation, be subject to inspection at the point 

 of destination and cannot be unpacked ex- 

 cept in the presence of an inspector. Al- 

 ready a number cf injurious insects have 

 been founu on Japanese stock. The intro- 

 duction and establishment of .some of those 

 might prove to bo as serious as the intro- 

 duction of the San Jose Scale. 



Dr. Gordcn Hewitt, Dominion Entomolo- 

 gist, informs The Canadian Horticulturist 

 that a number of insects occurring in 

 Japan, including the Apple and Pear i?'ruit 

 IJorers, have established themselves on the 

 Pacific coa.st. Others have been found 

 which might readily do so. 



Pref. A. M. Soule, the President of the 

 Georgia Agricultural College, addressed the 

 members of the Lincoln Farmers' Institute 

 at Vinoland, Ontario, last month. Ho 

 claimed that a soil survey should be made 

 of the Niagara district so that the people 

 would know just what the land was and 

 how it should 1)0 fertilized and treated to 

 cbtaiii the best results.
