Landscape Work 



In developing lawns and estates great care 

 and judgment is required in the locating of 

 walks and drives, the selecting of suitable 

 varieties of trees and shrubs to be planted 

 and the arranging of them artistically. 

 Many homes lose their charm for lack of 

 knowledge and experience in developing the 

 grounds. 



This difficulty is cvercome by our Land- 

 scape Department, which is in charge of ex- 

 perienced men qualified to develop grounds 

 of city or country homes, large estates, 

 school and public grounds, parks, cemeter- 

 ies or factory lands. Now is the time to 

 discuss fall cr spring work. Correspondence 

 solicited. — Brown Bros. Co., Brown's Nur-

The fruit growers of Northumberland and 

 Durham Counties, Ontario, have formed a 

 County Association with W. H. Gibson, of 

 iNewcastle, pres. ; and W. H. Dempsey, of 

 Trenton, secretary. 



Messrs. Barr & Sons, of Covent Garden, 

 London, England, made an exhibit cf Mr. 

 Groff's gladiolus "La Luna" at the last 

 show of the Royal Horticultural Society, 

 and were granted the "Award of Merit." 



Clarkson fruit growers shipped two cars 

 of berries this season through tc Montreal 

 in iced cars. The shipment was a complete 

 failure. They went by ordinary freight and 

 through neglect were not iced. A fruit train 

 from the Niagara Peninsula for Montreal 

 passes through Clarkson each evening. Fruit 

 for Montreal is loaded on tc this train and 

 as the cars are ventilated and make the 

 journey during the night, the service gives 

 good satisfaction. The cool night air cir- 

 culating through the cars does away with 

 the necessity of icing them. 



The Department of Agriculture of British 

 Columbia continues to publish weekly re- 

 ports from its representatives in the Prairie 

 provinces and in the fruit centres along 

 the Pacific coast of the United States. 

 These reports give valuable information 

 about the condition of the fruit markets, 

 the quantities of fruit being shipped and 

 marketed and advice to the British Col- 

 umbia growers in regard to the marketing 

 of their crop. The reports are being widely 

 published in the papers of British Col- 

 umbia and are proving of great value to 

 the fruit growers.
