Unsurpassed Facilities 



Continuing their policy of improvement in 

 facilities and service from year to year, the 

 Allan Line, Royal Mail steamship service, has 

 this season been equipped with fast steamers 

 and superior facilities for handling apples, 

 fruits, dairy products and 

 with the utmost despatch, 

 and system of ventilated compartmenLs are 

 thoroughly up to date, assuring discharge of 

 this traffic at destination in perfect marketable 

 condition. The Liverpool service has been aug- 

 mented by the addition of the new turbine 

 steamers, Victorian and Virginian, which to- 

 gether with Tunisian and Bavarian, constitute 

 the fastest and most up-to-date Canadian line 

 on the Atlantic to-day. 



In order to facilitate the handling of apples 

 and other perishables at London the Allan Line 

 steamers now discharge their cargo at the Sur- 

 rey Commercial Dock Co.'s Greenland Dock, on 

 which has been erected the Canadian Produce 

 warehouses, fitted with refrigerator and cool 

 air chambers, the steamer's perishable cargo 

 being discharged into such chambers by the 

 most improved methods of handling. 



Not content with improving the Liverpool and 

 London services only, the Glasgow steamers are 

 also equipped with the most modern systems of 

 refrigeration and sirocco fan ventilation, for the 



handling of apples and other green fruits, and 

 dairy products, thus making the vessels on this 

 service unsurpassed in both speed and equip- 

 ment. 



With their usual enterprise the Allan Line 

 has, therefore, the fastest and most efficient 

 steamship service to London, Liverpool and 

 Glasgow, the various vessels sailing weekly 

 from Montreal during the season of St. Law- 

 rence navigation. 



As a further indication of the progressive 

 policy of the Allan Line, there has been inau- 

 gurated this season a fortnightly service from 

 Montreal to Havre, France, thus placing the 

 Canadian exporters in closer touch with their 

 French customers and enabling them to make 

 prompt and regular deliveries of their product 

 destined for European consumption. 



Improves The Sight.— A handy aluminum 

 pocket microscope is being introduced to fruit 

 growers and florists by the firm of Stone & 

 Wellington, of Toronto. These microscopes 

 are made of aluminum and magnify four and a 

 half times. A large number of them have been 

 sold to farmei-s who find them useful in examin- 

 ing seeds and grains. Florists and growers 

 use them in examining plants and trees for in- 

 sects, and teachers and scholars use them in 

 studying botany. The ordinary individual will 

 find them useful in many different ways.
