HARDY TREES 

 and SHRUBS 



We have for sale an extensive as- 

 sortment of ornamental trees, 

 plants, shrubs and general nursery 

 stock. Our stock is carefully grown, 

 a greater part of it having been sev- 

 eral times transplanted. As our 

 nursery is situated on the Island of 

 Montreal, the stock is hardy and 

 gives satisfaction wherever grown. 



If you are thinking of planting 

 this fall, you would do well to write 

 us, letting us know your needs. 

 October is the month when fall 

 planting can be done with the best 

 results. Make your selections early 

 while our stock is complete.

National Exhibition. It was reported that 

 fr)iit in tinsprayod orchards was of poorer 

 quality this ypar than usual. Robert 

 Thompson, of St. Catharines, stat<fd that 

 they had sold early apples in the west for 

 as hiRh as $2.75 per forty pound box. Mr. 

 Mitchell, of Thornbury, reported that 

 buyers in the Georgian Bay District were 

 offering $1.25 to $1.40 for fall and winter 

 apples on the trees. Mo.st of the associa- 

 tions have sold their crops. 



At a luncheon of the directors of the 

 Central Canada Exhibition held at Ottawa 

 last month, one of the judges, Mr. R. B. 

 AVhyte, cf Ottawa, who is the president of 

 the Ontario Horticultural .Association, 

 criticised th(5 management of the exhibi- 

 tion for not having given more attention 

 to the horticultural exhibits. Complaint 

 was made that the building was old and 

 poorly located en the grounds, that fakirs 

 were allowed in the building and that the 

 prizes were not large enough . It was 

 stated that the exhibit of fruit was most 

 creditable to the Ottawa district, and that 

 much larger exhibits would be made were 

 an effort pi.t forth to encourage them. 



The difficulty which many people ex- 

 perience at this time of the year in select- 

 ing the right kind of shrubs and trees as 

 well as plants to grow, has led Mr. E. D. 

 Smith, the well known nurseryman, of 

 Winona, Ontario, to issue a little booklet 

 entitled, "What Shall I Plant and Where 

 Shall I Plant It?" The information it 

 contains is most helpful. It gives lists of 

 shrubs for shady places, wet or moist 

 places, dry and shallow soils and for sea- 

 shore planting. Lists are given of trees for 

 street and avenue planting, for country or 

 suburbs, of hedge plants, screens to hide 

 objectionable views, wind breaks, ever- 



greens for bed planting, rapid growing trees 

 and vines, lists of flowering shrubs with the 

 months in which they flower and other 

 similar information. The booklet is well 

 worth sending for. 



Mr. Maxwell Smith, Manager of the First 

 Canadian National Apple Show, which 

 will be held in Vancouver from Oct. 31 

 to Nov. 5, has been in the east recently 

 soliciting exhibits of fruit for that ex- 

 hibition. Before leaving for the West he 

 rej>orted that Nova .Scotia had arranged 

 to send an exhibit, although it will not 

 be as largo as would have been the case 

 had the crop of Gravenstein apples in Nova 

 Scotia this year been larger. The Pomo- 

 logical Society of the province of Quebec, 

 he stated, intends to send a full carload 

 of Snow apples. Mr. Smith promised that 

 if eastern growers would exhibit at the 

 show in British Columbia this year, the 

 British Coli.mbia growers would return the 

 (■(impliment.
