had been very beneficial and very great 

 interest had been shown in the rompeti- 

 tions for the flowers raised from these 

 seeds. The report of the Toronto society 

 was an excellent one. Toronto now has 

 the lar^'est memtership in the Province, 

 820 in all. 



W. G. MacKendrick, Toronto, the presi- 

 dent of the Toronto Horticultural Society, 

 whose beautiful garden on Toronto Island 

 is visited each year by large numbers of 

 people, snoke on "Outdoor Roses for On- 

 tario." This paper is published elsewhere 

 in this issue. 



The subject. "A Modern (?ladiolus," 

 was ablv treated by H. FT. GrofF, Simcoe. 

 the world's most famous hybridist of this 

 variety of flower, who gave a description 

 of the variotis species as existing to-day. 

 Species of the best quality seldom show the 

 best vitality. He was making considerable 

 progress in the production of a pure yel- 

 low in the species "Primuliuns." He pre- 

 ferred plants of upright growth. The de- 

 velopment of one characteristic is gener- 

 ally injurious to the other characteristics. 

 The speaker showed some ears of corn 

 showing improvement effected by "hybrid- 

 ization," with an increase m production 

 of 150 bushels per acre. 



The reports of the committees on Nomen- 

 clature and Novelties were read by Mr. 

 John Cavers of Oakville, Ont. ; and by 

 Prof. W. T. Macoun, of Ottawa. They 

 showed that work that will be very valu- 

 able to those interested in flowers and 

 plants had been accomplished. 



VISITORS FR0]£ THE BT.^TIS 



Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister of 

 Agriculture, introduced a number of 

 superintendents of education from the 

 Southern States who were in Canada in 

 quest of information. In the course of his 



speech he said that in spito of many dis- 

 couragements there were signs of improve- 

 ment in agrictiltural and horticultural 

 matters, and he congratulated the associa- 

 tion on the incri'asintr interest being taken 

 in the work of the horticultural societies. 



Supt. Joiner of North Carolina, and 

 Supt. Egglestone, of Virginia, spoke 

 briefly, and said that the South was greats 

 Iv interested in what is being done in 

 Canada. 



President G. C. Creelman, of Guelph. 

 emphasized the importance of demonstrat- 

 ing to the people the value of the work 

 being done by the horticultural societies. 

 Make the work of the societies attractive 

 and the people will take hold. 



VINK9 AND SHRUnS 



Prof. H. L. Hutt, of tne Ontario Agri- 

 cultural College. Gnelph. gave an address 

 on "Vines and Shrubs for the Small 

 Garden." He emphasized the importance 

 of making a careful plan before starting 

 to lay out a garden. Follow the plan of a 

 landscape artist, if pos.sible, bearing in 

 mind what it will look like when grown 

 UP. Plant fairly thicklv and thin out 

 afterwards. Plant against walls and 

 buildings in nooks and corners, and 

 screen the fences with shrubs. 



The four honorary directors — Prof. H. 

 L. Hutt. Guelph; Mr. W. T. Macoun, 

 Ottawa; W. B. Burgoyne, St. Catharines: 

 and Major H. J. Snelgrove, Toronto- 

 were re-elected. 



Mr. Wm. Hunt, O.A.C., Guelph, de- 

 scribed the science and practice of plant 

 propagation, illustrating his talk by speci- 

 mens mounted on card board. He showed 

 that it was bv no means so hard to pro- 

 pagate plants as was generally supposed, 

 proTiding that the environment and local- 

 itv were considered. 



0. W. Nash. Toronto, spoke on insect 



Wherever Fruit Excels 

 Niagara Spray is Used 



Our Slogan, expressing a plain and .irkiiowledged truth. It does not 

 follow that the mere using of NIAGARA SPRAY produces good fruit, 

 for thoroughness and proper application are important, so also are other 

 essentials in good orcharding, but we do say that wherever, on the Amer- 

 ican continent, a good and clean fruit is produced— there Niagara Spray 

 IS used— because NIAGARA IS MADE RIGHT AND STAYS RIGHT. 



Results in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New York, as well as elsewhere 

 this season, demonstrate the superiority of NIAGARA LIME-SULPHUR 

 over Bordeaux for ,'\pple Scab. 



DO NOT NEGLECT THE FIRST DORMANT SPRAY IN SPRING. 



— This is the most important spray and controls San Jose Scale, Oyster 

 Shell Bark Louse, Blister Mite, Aphis and all insects wintering on trees. 

 It also lays the foundation for later sprays for Apple Scab. 



In districts affected by San Jose Scale, Spray NOW, and AGAIN in 



TRADE MARK HEQI8TERED Spring. 



BEAN PUMPS are proving their worth. Over one hundred satisfied customers in Ontario. .\sk us for their letters of testi- 

 monials. High Pressure gives results.
