WHAT OUR FRIENDS SAY OF US : 



A knowledge of. the linbiis, cart etc., of the different fruit trees, plants, shrubs, flowers, etc. . is rot jjos- 

 sessed by most of garden managers, and as a consequence great losses and failures in many different ways occur 

 Now to help this the 'Canadian Poiticulturist." a nicnthh nip^'aziie at 81 CO a year is considered invalu- 

 able. In it, just at the right time of the year, appear remedies for the many new earden pests, descriptions of 

 choice and new fruits, with colored plates, and in fact we couldn't begin to enumerate ts varying and always 

 interesting contents.— Brad/ord Witni'xs. 



The " Canadian Horticulturist" for January is just to hand, in a new and beautifully designed cover. It 

 contains a colored plate of the lovely iris that is a treasure of art. It is now recognized as the leading Cana- 

 dian journal of Horticulture. — Canadian Aiji-icitlturixt. 



No. 7 of Vol. 11 of the " Cma ian Horticulturist" is before us, and a verv nice number it is, on fine paper, 

 fine print, and filled with inters sling matter, wif^ a fine tinted lithograjih of the winter St. f awrenoe apple for 

 a frontis piece . It also has, among other cuts, one of a wheelbarrow ladder, which strikes us as a very good 

 \Ae3..—Ex. 



We are in receipt of the "Canadian Horti ulturist" for July, published by the Fruit Growers' Association 

 of Ontario, Grimsby, and it is, as usual, brim full of matter on Horticulture. Its visits every month are looked 

 forward to with plea-.ure. It is worth double the money that is paid for it, and is invaluable to those de» oted 

 t'> Fruits, Flowers and Forestry. — The Advance, Stouffville. 



The "Canadian Horticulturist" for May is one of the best numVers of that really excellent journal yet 

 publishe<'.. The colfred plate represents • life picture of the German Prune, a plum that has gained great 

 favor with fruit growers, and was highly siraken of at the Assoi iation meeting at Collingwi od last year. The 

 " Horticulturist " is worth more than the subscription price to aiy jjerso'i engaged in fruit culture or in gar- 

 dening - Meafurd Mirror. 



Th' re is scarie'y anything relative to the flower garden, the vegetable garden, the small fruit garden or the 

 fruit orchard that the " llorliculfurist " does not deal with, either by its competent editor, L. Woolverton, 

 M.A., or by some of its staff of able contributors. — Kx. 



The " Canadian Horticulturist " appears to improve with each number, and is winning for itself a place long 

 filled by Amercan publicbtions, which it is superior to in every way for the Canadian fruit grower, as it deals 

 largely with Canadian subjects, and the fruits most suitable to uur ciinia'e. — Flenherton Advance.
