PAN-AMERICAN HORTICULTURE-III. 



i»UR Exhibit of Small Fruits. — On 

 the 1 8th of July we found our On- 

 tario Court beginning- to fill up with 

 fresh currants and gooseberries, 

 whicb, combined with the cold storage apples 

 already on the tables, made a most attrac- 

 tive collection. Credit is due to those per- 

 sons who freely contributed to this exhibit, 

 as for example, Mr. Arthur W. Peart of 

 Burlington, who sent in a sample branch of 

 each variety of currant he had in his collec- 

 tion as experimenter, and Mr. Stanley Spil- 

 lett, Nantyr, for a collection of nineteen var- 

 ieties of gooseberries, some of them mag- 



nificent in size. Many of these the writer 

 put up in glass bottles for a permanent ex- 

 hibit throughout the season. Mr. E. B. 

 Stevenson of Jordan Station, also sent in a 

 fine collection of bottled strawberries, put 

 up in kerosene. 



The following is a list of some of the other 

 exhibits and exhibitors, viz. : — 



Gooseberries. — T. R. Merritt, Luther 

 Dunn, Thos. Beatty, John Sexton, St. 

 Catharines ; and Jas. D. Strange, Moffat.
