FI'",W <if the many thousand visitors at 

 tlio Caii.idian National Exhibiticn who 

 pas-sed down tho main roadway to- 

 wiirds thp Machinery Hall failed to 

 notice the attractive little building pictured 

 on this page, which was s«t back a few 

 yards from the walk and was surrounded by 

 a beautiful stretch of green grass, and 

 around which were arrangexl in an artistic 

 manner, attractive sneeimens of fancy 



e.st class of nursery Bto<:k. Their trees, 

 grown under such favorable conditions, are 

 straight, clean and well developed. These 

 two year specimen trees shown stood from 

 five to eight feet high, and a glance at 

 their splendid root system and the remark- 

 able growth that has been made during tho 

 past season shows that the trees were the 

 kind which would establish them.selves 

 (iiii<-1<lv when planted out in the orchard, 



evei'greens planted in tubs and an ,sr<iiic 

 vases. This was the exhibition cf Messrs. 

 Stone & Wellington, the well-known nur- 

 serymen and landscape architects of To- 

 ronto. 



The evergreen shrubs shown in the fore- 

 ground made a collection of rare and choice 

 varieties of conifers, particularly interest- 

 ing to lovers of the beautiful, and which 

 included a number of varieties of the 

 Spruce, Arbor Vitse, Pine, Juniper and Fir. 



The quaint little building in the back- 

 ground of a miniature formal garden 

 made a unique and pleasing effect, which 

 was enhanced by a well-set sun dial. 



The building itself was used as an office, 

 in which were shown illustrations of various 

 shrubs, trees and roses, as well as a number 

 of plans of private and public grounds, pre- 

 pared by their landscape designer, who was 

 in charge of this department, and who was 

 able to answer many questions and en- 

 quiries in regard to the artistic and prac- 

 tical laying out of the home or public 

 grounds. 



Another feature of this interesting ex- 

 hibit which attracted a great deal of at- 

 tention from farmers and fruit growers 

 were a number of bundles of their celebrat- 

 ed two-year-old standard grown fruit trees, 

 consisting of app'es, jieaches, pears, plums 

 and cherries. These trees were grown at 

 their nurseries at Fcnthill, and serve to 

 show the splendid class of stock they are 

 growing for their fall and spring trade. 



Their nurseri&s are situated .it Fonthill 

 in Welland County, where conditions are 

 ideal for the production of the very high- 



aiid come mto iwoiiiatle bearing from one 

 to three or four years ahead of stock which 

 had not been grown under equally favor- 

 able conditions. Messrs. Stone & Welling- 

 ton have for this fall and next spring an 

 immense quantity of fruit trees such as 

 those shown at the exhibition. 



Those of our readers who, like our re- 

 presentative, stopped to look over this ex- 

 hibit, no doubt learned much regarding the 

 methods followed in producing high-class 

 nursery stock, which well repaid them for 

 the time spent. Those readers who are in- 

 terested either in landscape architecture or 

 in high-class fruit trees for the orchard, 

 and who have an ojiportunity of calling at 

 the head office of this firm at 49 Wellington 

 St. East, Toronto, or of visiting their nur- 

 sery at Fonthill, 6nt., will be assured of a 

 hearty welcome, and may count on learning 

 much that will be of value to them. These 

 who may not have this opportunity may, 

 by writing to the head office at Toronto, be 

 placed in touch with the nearest Stone & 

 Wellington representative, or will receive 

 direct any information desired. 



If those of us who are engaged in grow- 

 ing fruit in Ontario will rise to the dignity 

 of the situation, and by every means in our 

 power seek to iiut our pro<luct on the public 

 market in such a manner as will remove 

 every cause for complaint due to careless 

 and indifferent packing and grading of 

 what might otherwise be a high class pro- 

 duce, there is a bright future in store for 

 the fruit growers of the premier province 

 in the Dominion,
