saves the tired house- 

 keeper work and worry. 

 It is a convenient paste 

 in a large can. A gentle 

 rub with brush or cloth 

 brings a beautiful, 

 mirror-like shine that 

 is not affected by the 

 heat. For stoves, pipes, 

 grates and ironwork. 



If your dealer does not carry 

 "Black Knight" Stove Polish in 

 stock, send us his name and loc, 

 and we will send a full size tin 

 by return mail.

Most people already use 

 — and always will tise — 

 Windsor Salt. They know 

 — from years of experience 

 — that Windsor Salt won't 

 get damp or lumpy. There 

 is never even a suspicion of 

 grittiness about it. 



Its clean taste — its crystal 

 purity and recognized econ- 

 omy — make Windsor Salt 

 the prime favorite in every 

 home where it is used. 



Don't pay fancy prices for 

 imported salt, when Windsor 

 Salt costs so little, and is so 

 higti in quality.

On October 31st, November 1st, 2nd and 

 3rd over 400 boxes, 150 barrels and 1,000 

 plates cf New Brunswick apples will bo 

 on exhibit in St. John. Over $700 are 

 offered in prizes, and indications ppint to 

 a largo number of entries and keen com- 

 jjetitiou. In addition to the competitive 

 exhibit the Provincial Department cf Ag- 

 riculture is making a large display of 

 boxed and barrelled apples. 



A three days' convention is being held 

 on the same dates by the Fruit Growers' 

 Association. Business of great import- 

 ance to the future of fruit growing in the 

 province will be transacted and a series 

 cf instructive addresses and demonstra- 

 tions given by Mr. W. T. Macoun, Prof. 

 J. W. Crow, and Mr. H. O. Treherne, 

 of Ontario, and by Prof. Shaw, Mr. R. S. 

 Starr and Mr. G. H. Vroom, of Xvova 

 Scotia. It is expected that the show will 

 awaken a much greater interest in fruit 

 growing in New Brunswick and will be 

 followed by a considerable development of 

 the industry. 



Eastern Annapolis Valley, N.S. 



Enoice Watts, A. R. H. S. 



The first few flakes of snow fell in the 

 Valley on October 11th, since then the 

 weather has been quite cold, but we are 

 hoping for Indian summer before the 

 ground freezes. 



On September 23rd an exhibition cf 

 vegetables and flowers was held in Ber- 

 wick school house, the products of the 

 school gardens belonging to the sections of 

 Berwick, Waterville and Somerset. This 

 is the first time that the children have 

 tried school gardening, but as it has re- 

 sulted in such a creditable exhibition it 

 will probably be continued. 



The Kings, Hants and Annapolis First 

 Show this year took place at Windsor, 

 where the display was excellent. The 

 vegetables were particularly fine. Fruits 

 have been somewhat late in ripening, 

 though outdoor grapes are said never to 

 have been better. 



In the nursery rows bands have been 

 cut from the stocks which were budded 

 early in the fall. 



Prince Edward Island 



J. A. Moore. Haxtlbrook, P. E. I. 



There is but a poor crop of apples on 

 Prince Edward Island this year. We had a 

 heavy frost on June 6tli, that killed the 

 bloom in many orchards. In our uivn, tne 

 leaves as well as the blooms were killed and 

 the orchard looked as if a fire had run 

 through it. 



Early apples sold at from 60 cents to 80 

 cents per bushel, according to variety. 

 Winter varieties will likely comnmna a good 

 price as stocks are small and prices are nigh 

 in both Nova Scotia and Ontario. Plums 

 were a good crop and sold at from 5 to 8 

 cents per quart. I noticed brown rot on 

 plums in one orchard. We have not been 

 troubled much with this here ; but if steps 

 are not taken to control it, it will spread 

 rapidly and menace our whole crop. .-Vll 

 diseased fruit should be removed and the 

 trees and ground under them thoroughly 

 sprayed. In the orchard spoken of, over 

 half the crop was ruined. 



One of the finest of new apples we have 

 now is the Dudley or North Star which 

 is about the same season as the Wealthy 

 and a larger apple. It is a beautiful apple, 

 highly colored and of good quality. It might 

 well be largely planted as those who have 

 had it for years speak highly of it. 



Fruit growers should begin now to pick 

 out samples for the winter fruit show and 

 try and make it the beat we hare ever had.
