THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



attract them," g-'ives a case where a lady in 

 V^ermont has made a specialty of attracting 

 birds to her gardens and orchards, and she 

 has succeeded admirably well. She says, 

 " After once learning to take food provided 

 for them the birds will come anywhere for 

 it, to windows on upper stories or windows

The space secured for Ontario fruits is 

 only about iioo square feet, but it is splen- 

 didly situated along one of principal aisles, 

 where it will show off to splendid advantage. 

 The accompanying plan of the floor space 

 will give our readers an idea of the shape, 

 and of the tables which will be arranged
