DARWIN 



TULIP BULBS 



Grown by 



DR. D. CLARK 

 GRIMSBY - ONT. 



I HAVE several thousand Darwin 

 Tulip Bulbs which I absolutely 

 guarantee true to name and de- 

 scription which I will sell for spot 

 cash at very reasonable prices. 



These bulbs are not "just as good as 

 Holland grown bulbs," they are better. 

 They are at least better than any I 

 ever imported. Write early for name, 

 description, and prices.

are detailed and the prescription for making 

 the Bordeaux mixture given. The .stocking 

 of solution of copper sulphate and milk of 

 lime is advised. Poison for the Colorado 

 beetle can be applied with the Bordeaux as 

 often as necessary. For this, either Paris 

 green or arsenate of lead, or a combination 

 of both, may be used, half a pound of the 

 iormer and a pound and a half of Ihe latter 

 to 40 gallons of spray being sufficient. In, 

 very severe cases the quantities of the 

 poison can be increased by half.

The apples from Washington State and 

 Britisih Columbia are the chief competitors 

 of the Ontario apple in western Canada 

 Their No. 3's are as good as some of the 

 Ontario No. I's. It is a mistake of growers 

 to expect to receive a high price for No. 3 

 apples packed in crates. — E. Maycock, 

 Wholesale Fruit Dealer, Winnipeg. 



I have derived much pleasure and benefit 

 from the splendid articles you publish in
