Ginseng Growers Meet ~" 



The fifth annual meeting of the O.G.G.A. 

 cf Canada met in the Amphitheatre of the 

 Women's Building at the Canadian Na- 

 tional Exhibition Grounds. In the ab- 

 sence of the president, Hev. Mr. Martin 

 acted as chairman. The secretary report- 

 ed that one of its members, Mr. Murray, 

 of Lxbridge, had suhered the loss of plants 

 to the extent of four hundred dcHars by 

 some parties vvlio robbed his garden at 

 L'tica, Out. The society took tae matter 

 up and ohered a reward of twenty-tive dol- 

 lars, proviaed. that Mr. xvlurray supple- 

 mented it with a like amount fcr the appre- 

 hension and conviction of the guilty ones, 

 'i'o this sum a friend in Michigan has add- 

 ed ten dollars more, 'ihe officers were all 

 re-elected. 



An important feature of the meeting 

 was a lecture by Prof. J. E. Howitt, B.S.A., 

 cf Guelph, on "Ginseng Plants and their 

 Diseases," which was full of interest and 

 very instructive. A copy of this was sent 

 to the secretary for publication in The 

 Canadi.\n Horticulturist. The members 

 asked many questions, which made the lec- 

 ture very interesting. It was decided to 

 ask the Provincial Government for a small 

 grant for the purpose of assisting in fur- 

 ther investigating olant diseases cf Gin-

You Can Buy "DOMINION PRIDE" RANGE At Factory Price 



Direct From The Largest Malleable Range Works in Canada 



IF you want to save from I25 to f 30, and at the same time get the most satisfactory kitchen range made, write <■ 

 for our Catalogue and look into the merits of the ''DOMINION PRIDK,'* at from $41 to I49. 

 If we sold you identically the same range in tlie usual way, through a dealer, you would have to pay 

 from $6g to $78 for it. You would be paying two extra profits — to wholesaler and retailer — which would add 



$2$ to 1^30 to the cost of your range, but absolutely nothing to 

 its value. 



Besides costinjf much less than other ranges in its class, the 

 "DOMINION PRIDE" is much more satisfactory It is made of toush, 

 strong, malleable iron and the best blue polished steel— materials which will 

 not warp, crack or break. 



The polished steel does not need blacking— simply rub it over with a 

 cloth. With its cold rolled steel plate oven— sectional iron fire-box lining, 

 with air chambers — and double-walled flues lined with asbestos— the 

 "DOMINION PRIDE" is the most economical range you can buy. Actual 

 tests have proved that it saves over 30% of fuel, burning cither wood 

 or coal. 



WE PAY THE FREIGHT 



A "DOMINION PRIDE" Range, with high closet shelf and elevated 

 tank or flush reservoir, with zinc sheet to go under range, 8 sections 

 blue polished steel pipe and two elbows, will be delivered to any station in 

 Ontario, Quebec or the Maritime Provintcs for 541. or to any station in 

 tlie four Western Provinces for J49— $5 to be sent with order and balance to 

 be paitl whtrti the Range is delivered at your station. If not convenient to 

 pay cash we will arrange to accept your note.
