in view of future requirements, such a 

 building is one of Toronto's most pressing" 

 needs." — (Robert \V. King, Toronto. 



" The exhibition is the best of the kind we 

 have ever held. The exhibit of commercial 

 boxes is a most interesting and promising 

 feature of the show. This feature can be 

 greatly developed, as can the commercial 

 side of the exhibition. I would like to see 

 it arranged so that exhibitors could take or- 

 ders for fruit." — (Linus Woolverton, 

 Grimsby, Superintendent of the Fruit Ex- 

 periment Stations. 



" This is the best show ever held in To- 

 ronto. More florists from other cities have 

 visited the exhibition than ever before and 

 all have been delighted. "^ — (Thos. Manton. 

 Eglinton. 



" The people who attended this exhibition 

 appeared to be a better class than at- 

 tended our previous shows." — (W. G. Rook. 

 Toronto. 



" The citizens of Toronto ought to be 

 ashamed of themselves for not patronizing 

 this shoAv in larger numbers. Without ex- 

 ception the exhibits of fruit, flowers and 

 honey are the best ever seen in Toronto." — 

 m. R. Frankland. Toronto. 



" I am delighted with the exhibition. 

 Every department is strong and I think the 

 organizations interested should feel greatly 

 encouraged." — (R. B. Whyte, Ottawa. 



■' It is a grand afifair. For a start off we 

 could not look for anything better. The 

 bee men are satisfied." — (D. Anguish, 

 Scottsville. 



" A perfect success. Some Old Country 

 people tell me they never saw anything like 

 it. A show of this kind is just what 's 

 needed. It affords an opportunity for the 

 growers to meet and bring out their ideas. 

 The management has been quite satisfactory- 

 under the circumstances and I trust the 

 show will continue." — (Alex. Biggs. Bur- 

 lington, Ont. 



■' A grand success. The members of the 

 Bee Keepers' Association have passed a 

 resolution expressing the hope that the show 

 will be continued another year. If it is we 

 will be with you again." — (H. G. Sibbald, 

 Claude, Ont.. President of the Ontario Bee 

 Keepers' Association. 



" The exhibits are excellent. The show 

 has been a decided success and should be 

 continued." — (W. T. Macoun. Central Ex- 

 jicrimental Farm, Ottawa.
