At Home Avith the 



KODAK 



Make Kodak your family historian. Start 

 the history on Christmas day, the day of 

 home gathering, and let it keep for you an 

 intimate pictorial history of the home and 

 all who are in it. Make somebody happy 

 with a Kodak this year — the pictures will 

 serve to make many people happy in the 

 years that follow. 



Unless you a,fe already familiar with 

 Kodakery, you will find the making of 

 home portraits much simpler than you 

 imagine— so simple, indeed, that the novice 

 often gets the credit of being an expert. To 

 make it still simpler we are issuing a 

 beautifully illustrated little book that talks 

 about home portraiture in an understand- 

 able way that will prove helpful to any 

 amateur. Whether you already have a 

 Kodak or not we would like you to have a 

 copy of this book. 



Aek your dealer or write us for a free 

 copy of "At Home with the Kodak."

New Brunswick Apple Show 



Climatic conditions in New Brunswick 

 are quite similar to those existing in this 

 portion ot Ontario lying north and east 

 of Kingston. lu the southern portions, 

 Spies and even Baldwins, Greenings and 

 Kings are grown to a certain extent, but 

 none of the^e varieties are recommended 

 for commercial planting in any part of the 

 province. The varieties chiefly in evidence 

 at the recent exhibition of the New Bruns- 

 wick Fruit Growers' Associaticn in St. 

 John, N.U., and which are particularly 

 recommended as the most suitable to the 

 climate of the province, were Duchess, New 

 Brunswicker, Alexander, Dudley's Winter, 

 Wealthy, Fameuse, Mclutcsh Red, Wolfe 

 Uiver, Milwaukee, and Bethel. 



THE EXHIBITION 



The exhibits were very tastefully ar- 

 ranged in the spacious St. Andrews Rink, 

 and the quantity of fruit on exhibit was a 

 decided surprise to these who, like most of 

 the visitors and spectators, had been in 

 the habit of belittling the fruit-growing 

 possibilities of New Brunswick. The pro- 

 vincial department of agriculture display- 

 ed four hundred excellently packed boxes 

 of various varieties. Besides these there 

 were entered for competition some eighty 

 boxes, sixty-one barrels, and eight hun- 

 dred and ninety-six plates. 



In quality the exhibits were decidedly 

 good, although some scab was in evidence. 

 A most striking feature — and it is one 

 which never failed to be made particular 

 mention of — was the remarkably high 

 color of the fruit. If the fruit exhibited 

 at St. John is a fair sample of what New 

 Brunswick can grow, it is safe to say On- 

 tario ccnies in second in the matter of 

 color. Of course, it must be borne in mind 

 that the varieties principally grown in 

 New Brunswick are the highly colored 

 fruits, but even in these varieties New- 

 Brunswick fruit would compare very 

 favorably with anything produced in On- 

 tario. 



A feature worthy of imitation was the 

 inclusion in the prize list of the scale of 

 points used in judging the various classes, 

 as well as explanations cf such terms as 

 "Freedom from blemish." "Uniformity," 

 "Quality," and so forth. 



The Canadian Horticulturist has on 

 hand a number of very interesting reports 

 of the annual meetings of the Horticultural 

 Societies in Ontario and covering their 

 work for the past year. The reports cf the 

 convention of the Ontario Hoticultural As- 

 sociation and of the fruit conventions and 

 exhibitions published in this issue make it 

 impossible for us to deal with these reports 

 in this number.
