1 am glad you have seen your way 

 to the enlargement of the paper. It 

 will help to popularize and extend the 

 usefulness of the Association.

Have received the January number 

 of the Horticulturist, with which I 

 am greatly pleased. It has been the 

 means of diffusing much useful informa- 

 tion both for the garden and orchard, 

 and I much wish the usefulness of your 

 periodical greatly extended. I have 

 been much benefited myself, and am 

 sure others also have profited by its 

 perusal.

Enclosed is my subscription for the 

 Canadian Horticulturist. It is a 

 little book I am well pleased with, and 

 consider the money well laid out, for 

 the information to be got from it is 

 very valuable to those who take a 

 delight in gardening, and I should be 

 very glad to see it grow larger, even if 

 it cost more. I look upon it as a cheap 

 Dollar's worth. 



Allen Chapman.

I will say that I think more and 

 more of the good work done by the 

 Fruit Growei-s' Association by every 

 number of the Canadian Horticulturist 

 I receive, and I look for it anxiously 

 every month. I think it will be more 

 interesting this year than ever, as it is 

 80 much larger than formerly ; and it 

 will help us to make our liomes beau- 

 tiful by what is shewn us in those 

 colored plates. A great many of us 

 must see to be convinced, and I be- 

 lieve there are a great many who have 

 seen the plate in the January number 

 who will appreciate the Gladiolus a 

 deal more than they ever did before. 



What I have received from the Asso- 

 ciation has done well. 



William Jones. 

 Box Grove. 



Your valuable " Report " duly to 

 hand, also the Canadian Horticul- 

 turist. These excellent publications 

 are brim-ful of important information 

 for the horticulturist, fruit grower and 

 entomologist. Our Southern people 

 know but little of the capabilities of 

 the Dominion of Canada. Even the 

 Northern States are excelled by you, 

 especially in the keeping qualities of 

 fruits.

I was very much pleased with the 

 January number for this year, and T 

 trust the Society will meet with further 

 success. I wish I could make more 

 fanners believe it is to their interest to 

 subscribe. As the Society has now 

 taken up the subjects of growing flowera 

 and shrubs, I think the old members 

 might make an effort and get a few 

 ladies to join, or better still, subscribe 

 for an extra copy, and make some lady 

 friend a present of it.

I am glad to add my testimony with 

 others to the great good the Fruit 

 Growers Association of Ontario is doing 

 throughout the country. The enlarge- 

 ment of the Horticulturist is a step 

 in the right direction, and the Directors 

 are to be congratulated in their efforts 

 to popularize it. Some of the articles 

 on various subjects are of no mean 

 order, and reflect credit on the contri- 

 butors. The valuable hints given and 

 experiences related through tlie Hor- 

 ticulturist cannot fail to be justly 

 appreciated by those who take an in- 

 terest in a department so varied and
