THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



▼ii 



Pointers for Fruit Growers 



Seth J. T. Bush, Morton, N.Y. 



Agriculture and horticulture are the 

 rocks upon which all true prosperity must 

 rest. When the farmer and fruitgrower 

 are prosperous and happy, their condition 

 is reflected in every line of trade, and the 

 whole country prospers. 



When conditions are reversed, business 

 stagnation and poverty follow. 



The farmers and fruitgrowers hold their 

 prosperity as well as their destiny in their 

 own hands — they have hesitated and fol- 

 lowed slip-shod methods long enough. They 

 have got to get together and stick together, 

 if they hope to reap the reward to which 

 their labor and investment entitles them. 



While the grower has been trying to hide 



s inferior fruit in the middle of the barrel, 

 ..L- has been at the same time "hiding his 

 light under a bushel," in spite of the Divine 

 command not to do so. 



The consumer is obliged to pay for his 

 fruit with a standard dollar, and he is en- 

 titled to a standard package. 



The grower who is unwilling to join with 

 his neighbors in an honest effort to improve 

 conditions which affect his business, de- 

 serves nothing better than the thirty-five 

 cents out of the dollar that he receives, 

 and .stands a fair chance of always carrying 

 with him a "patch on the seat of his 

 breeches" as an indication of his enterprise 

 and resourcefulness. 



There is never but one reason why a 

 dealer or speculator will not buy as readily 

 from an exchange manager as from the 

 grower direct, and that reason is because

Improve the Front of Your Property 



Nothing will add more to both the appearance and value 

 of private or public property than a neat Frost Improved 

 Lavpn Fence. 



It is very artistic in its symmetrical design, and has the 

 strength and quality for long, long service, because we make 

 it throughout of special standard Frost Hard Steel Wire, made 

 and heavily galvanized in our own mills. 



Proper proportions and perfect fabric are ensured by weaving 

 on the latest automatic power machine — the only one of its 

 kind in all Canada. 



FROST IMPROVED LAWN FENCE 



is based upon the "Quality First" idea from start to finish. 

 The heavy zinc coating it receives is more durable than paint 

 and will not crack and peel off, besides baing fully rustproof. 



Laterals are formed of two No. 13 wires tightly cabled. 

 Stays are evenly spaced, uniform and straight-standing. 



Can also be erected on iron posts with pipe railing. «„

What Is A Conservatory Going To Cost ? 



THE truth is we can erect you a greenhouse for any sum you 

 care to mention, within reason. 

 We can deliver a small house in sections and erect it 

 in a few hours with connections to your present heating appa- 

 ratus — on the other hand, we have all the facilities to erect the 

 largest commercial greenhouse, complete with heating, ventilat- 

 ing and drainage. 



There's no need to pay extravagant prices for your green- 

 house when our prices are as low as is consistent with the high 

 quality of material and workmanship we maintain. 



Write us now while this address is before you. One of our 

 greenhouses would add more than its cost to the value of your 

 home.
