Ottawa Vegetable Growers 



The Ottawa branch of the Ontario Vege- 

 tablo Growers' Association has carried out 

 an interesting programme during the pres- 

 ent season. In June they held their regu- 

 lar moptMy meeting in the gardens of Mr. 

 Conrad McO>nnelI, and the president, I. A. 

 Farquharson, on the Avlmer road, during 

 the strawberry season. Both gardens pre- 

 sented interesting subject matter for dis- 

 cussion. The feature of Mr. McConnell's 

 garden Tvas his extra choice !)lot of straw- 

 berries and a large field of promising to- 

 matoes. The feature of Mr. Farquharson's 

 garden was his large fiell of early cab- 

 bage, and a promising plot of Herbert 

 raspberries, which later yielded him at 

 the average of $25.00 a row of about one 

 hundred feet. 



The July meeting was held at tJho Ex- 

 perimental Farm and the Ottawa Nurser- 

 ies, the Herbert raspberry being the fea- 

 ture at both places. At the Experimental 

 Farm the visitors were shown several seed- 

 ling apple (trees, that promise to be valu- 

 able for commercial pLnnting. 



In August the gardens of Jas. Cox and 

 J. McMullen on the Montreal road were 

 visited. Melons and high-class apples were 

 a strong feature at both places. 



The September meeting took place in the 

 gardens of W. Trick. Ottawa South, and 

 W. Hull. Herb Bailie and H. P. Carsiteeen, 

 all of Billings Bridge. Excellent onion 

 crops were seen in all four of these gar- 

 dens ; the tomatoes were fair, but some 

 large cauliflower fields, like all oithers in 

 the district, were poor, the dry, hot sum- 

 mer having ruined all the cauliflower in the 

 district. 



The Ottawa branch received a grant of 

 twenty dollars from each of the three town- 

 ships of Nepean, Gloucester and South 

 Hull, and fifty dollars from the city of Ot- 

 tawa. This money has been granlted in 

 prizes for exhibits at the Central Canada 

 and Aylmer, Que., shows and for field crop 

 competitions in onions, cauliflower and to- 

 matoes. Mr. T. G. Bunting, assistant hor- 

 ticulturist at the Central Experimental 

 Farm, acted as judge of the field crops 

 and made awards as follows : Block of five 

 hundred or more tomatoes — First prize, C. 

 MoConnell; second, W. Hull. Block of 

 one thousand or more cauliflower — First, 

 W. McCurrie; second, H. P. Carstesen. 

 Block of five hundred square feet of onions 

 — First, Herb Bailie; second, \V. Trick. 

 The judge recommended that a third prize 

 of two dollars be given H. P. Carstesen for 

 onions, as his field was very creditable, but 

 hardly good enough to win against the two 

 above named. The first prize in each case 

 WA?, six dollars, and the second prize four 

 dollars. The association made a special 

 demonstration exhibit at the Central Can- 

 ada Exhibition, consisting of specimens of 

 practically everything grown by the local 

 gardeners This exhibit was later given 

 the cit" hospitals. 



Cooj.erative buying of supplies, and the 

 excellent and instructive meetings held 

 have been a great incentive !to new mem- 

 bership, and the branch has nearly doubled 

 its membership this season. Addresses 

 were delivered at the June meeting by 

 Alex. McNeill, Chief of the Fruit Division 

 of the Department of Agriculture at Ot- 

 tawa; at the July nmeting by Rev. A. H. 

 Scott of Perth, vice president of the On- 

 tario Horticultural Association, and by R. 

 B. Whyte, president of that association. 

 The August meeting was addressed by Mr. 

 G. P. Marsh of the Ottawa Valley Journal, 

 and the September meeting by R. B. 

 Whyte, W. Graham of Graham Bros., seeds- 

 men, and Mr. Buck of the Experimental 

 Farm.— W. J. Kerr, Sec'y, Woodroffe, Ont.
