Orchids. — An Ottawa paper reports that sixteen varieties of orchids are 

 in bloom at the Central Farm greenhouse. 



The San Jose Scale was at one time reported in British Columbia, but 

 upon diligent inquiry the Board of Horticulture has found that this pest does 

 not exist in the Province. 



Errata. — On page i for Woodfiower read " Windflower." Note also, 

 that two varieties of anemone, are confused in the description. Anemone 

 fulgens proper has vermilion flowers. 



How DOES Paris Green Kill Codling Moth ? — According to Prof. 

 Bailey, the insect begins eating the moment he emerges from the egg, which is 

 usually deposited just outside the calyx Sometimes he eats quite a noticeable 

 amount of the skin just around the calyx, but at any rate he must eat some in 

 order to gain entrance, and ever so little will kill him. 



Our Apple Shipment to Australia was a valuable experiment according 

 to news just received. Though the heat of the tropics ruined a large part of 

 them, those which came out in good order, notably the Cranberry Pippins, sold 

 as high as $3 75 per bushel case. It looks as if the experiment would be worth 

 repeating. The expense of freight is only $i per case, and if we could get per. 

 feet cold storage there would be a fortune in it for Canadian apple growers. 

 We will give a full report later on.
