THE CAXADIAK HORTICULTURIST. 



JORDAN STATION. 



C. M. Honsberger : Strawberries have win- 

 tered in fine shape and are full of ibloom and 

 promise a full crop. A light frost in the morn- 

 ing of May 21 injured some blossoms, but to no 

 serious extent. Peaches are in full bloom and 

 promise well where trees were not allowed to 

 overbear the past two or three seasons. Cher- 

 ries are literally covered with bloom, more es- 

 pecially the Early Richmond, which bore a heavy 

 crop last season. The weather for fertilization 

 was fine, so much so that the assistance of the 

 busy bee was not required. 



FRUITLANT). 



Jos. Tweddle : Cherry buds came through 

 the winter in excellent shape, with full bloom 

 and weather mostly fair during bloom. We 

 should have a splendid crop. Strawberry pros- 

 pects are first-class. We had a heavy white 

 frost May 21, but I have heard of no particular 

 damage to strawberry bloom. Other fruits, in- 

 cluding apples, are looking well, and should 

 yield a heavy crop. Grapes are only fair; quite 

 a proportion of buds seem to toe dead. 



BURLINGTON. 

 A. W. Peart : The general fruit outlook 

 is bright. Trees have wintered well and bloom 

 appears sufficiently plentiful, especially with 

 plums. The prospect for cherries is excellent, 

 notalbly the soiir varieties. Apples, pears and 

 peaches aJso promise well. Strawberries gen- 



erally passed the winter in good condition and 

 their appearance indicates a fair return. Black- 

 berries, raspberries and currants promise an 

 average crop. 



W. F. W. Fisher : Strawberries, vines last 

 season ran moderately well, wintered fairly, 

 promise a two-third crop. Cherries, trees 

 thrifty, bloom heavy. Pears, trees fairly heal- 

 thy, bloom medium. Plums, trees fairly heal- 

 thy, bloom heavy. Apples, trees look well, very 

 full of bloom. Raspberries, injured some by 

 winter, two-third crop. Blackberries, promise 

 well. 



LEAMINGTON. 



E. E. Adams : The Early Richmond 

 cherry shows little or no fruit, but the Montmo- 

 rency is all right. Strawberries will be a good 

 crop, providing we have enough rain to develop 

 the fruit fully at ripening sea.son. 



THE SPRAMOTOR MACHINES. 



There was a time not long ago when it was 

 necessary to go into foreign countries for any 

 special machinery. In many lines this is 

 changed. In 1896, when the Spramotor Com- 

 pany won the Government spraying contest at 

 Grimslby, there were 11 makers of spraying ma- 

 chinery in Canada. All of these have tried to 

 sell out to the Spramotor Company, but none 

 were bought. It was thought that a specialty 

 like the Spramotor could not live in Canada ow- 

 ing to the restricted market, but by adhering to
