Co-operation in Experimental 

 Work. — The question of a Dominion 

 Fruit Experimental Farm in Southern 

 Ontario was discussed at our Kingston 

 meeting, and it was resolved to ask the 

 Minister of Agriculture for the Domin- 

 ion to utilize the various provincial 

 stations now established in Ontario, for 

 special experiments, and to have a special 

 sum placed in the estimates to be at 

 the disposal of the Director of the Dom- 

 inion Experimental Farm, for the con- 

 duct of such experiments by the provin- 

 cial experimenters, under his direction. 



Mr. Lodeman was a native of Switzer- 

 land, a graduate of the State Normal 

 School of Michigan, and received the 

 degree of Master of Science at Cornell, 

 in 1895. 



His last journey to Oswego County, 

 New York, was for the purpose of in- 

 specting experiments in fertilizing straw- 

 berry fields, and here, under some im- 

 pulse induced by strain of work, he met 

 his tragic end. We glean this from 

 Garden and Forest. 



Sudden Death of Prof. Lodeman. 

 — Our readers will be grieved to learn 

 that Mr. E. G. Lodeman, Assistant Hor- 

 ticulturist at Cornell University, died on 

 the 2nd December last, in Mexico, New 

 York State. We are much indebted to 

 him for his help in advancing the science 

 of spraying, and some of his bulletins 

 have been of great value to Ontario Fruit 

 Growers. Only last August he visited 

 Grimsby in company with Mr. Craig, to 

 investigate a new disease of the vine. 



Our Floricultural Department 

 will be enlarged in future, providing our 

 readers will contribute to it. We have 

 now about twenty-three affiliated Horti- 

 cultural Societies, and the members are 

 nearly all amateurs in floriculture, and 

 are eager for information. Now we 

 want to learn from each other, and by 

 writing to this Journal notes on our 

 successes or failures, or any experiences 

 we have had with flowers or flowering 

 shrubs, we will contribute to the general 

 interest, and draw out information from 

 others.
