marhines and as being anxious to have them 

 manufactured In the States. The firm \vas of- 

 fered a large amount for the right to manufac- 

 ture theae machines across the border. Mr. 

 Perkins stated that they have booked enough 

 orders this fall to keep their factories working 

 full time all winter. These machines are now 

 in r'erfect working order, having long since 

 pa.ssed the experimental stage. Fruit growers 

 may feel assured that they are obtaining the 

 best when they purchase a Little Giant Sprayer. 



saw. This is a steel saw, not only useful for 

 trimming trees, but for cutting iron or other 

 hard metals. Will cut through bolts, nails or 

 any iron metal without injuring, and with per- 

 fect ease. It Ls handy for the farmer, fruit 

 grower, and townsman. By taking large quan- 

 tities we are enabled to offer them at 50 cents 

 6-ach, or they can be obtained through any of 

 our reliable agents for the same money. 



LoaJing and Stowaj»e of Apples on St amers 



<'>ne of the most important points about safe 

 carriage of apples to Europe is the loading and 

 stowage on the vessel. The Donaldson Line to 

 Glasgow has a most enviable record in this re- 

 spect, and shippers will do well to look into this 

 feature when asking for space. 



The refrigeration and fan ventilation of the 

 steamers on this line Is almost perfect, and In- 

 spection of them is invited. Another feature 

 of this line is that the vessels take a north At- 

 lantic course, thus giving the apples the benefit 

 of the coolest .sea voyage, so that with propf-r 

 loading and stowage fruit on this route, espec- 

 ially during the early part of the season, should 

 arrive In first-class condition. (See advertise- 

 ment. 



A Useful Novelty for Everyone 



stone and Wellington have pleasure in offer- 

 ing to their r>atrons and the general public gn- 



ofhfT rif'-.v novlty In tho shap'^- of the handy 



Little Giant Sprayer. — In a recent issue of The 

 Horticulturist there was published an advertise- 

 ment, including a photograph of a Sprawiotor 

 outfit, under which it was stated that the illus- 

 tration showed one of these machines being 

 operated on the premises of Mr. E. D. Smith, of 

 Winona. This was an error on the part of the 

 printer, as it should have read Mr. E. M. Smith, 

 of Winona. Messrs. Perkins & Paine, of Port 

 Dover, the manufacturers of the Little Giant 

 Sprayer, inform us that Mr. E. D. Smith, of 

 Winona, is using one of their sprayers and that 

 he does not possess one of the Spramotor ma- 

 chines.

 lustrated catalogue has been sent out by the

 house plants for winter decoration. The grow- 

 ing of bulbs is claimed to be simple, and this 

 progressive firm offers a pamphlet on "Bulbs 

 and TIo'.v to Grow Them " fr'^e.
