The seed was not sown until June. It pro- 

 duced a large plant that blossomed freely, 

 and developed thirty-four immature bolh. 

 Had the seed beem planted about the first 

 of May it is probable that the bolls would 

 have matured. 



On exhibition in the show window of 

 Messrs. A. F. Ross & Go's grocery store, in 

 Truro, N. S., recently, was a part of a barrel 

 of apples which, for quality were certainly 

 not what they were bought for, which was 

 No. 1 Gravensteins. Many of the apples 

 were undersized, irregular in shape, and 

 partly eaten by worms. Altogether they 

 were a disgrace to any packer of fruit. On 

 the head of the barrel was stencilled the 

 name of the packer, with the words, "No. 1 

 Gravensteins." 



Prof. E. R. Lake, who succeeds the late 

 Prof. John Craig, of Cornell University, as 

 secretary of the American Pomological So- 

 ciety, is Assistant Pomologist at Washing- 

 ton. He has had an extended experience 

 in Michigan and the Pacific Coast, where 

 he has taught in the agricultural icolleges 

 of Oregon and Washington for many years, 

 besides having been actively engaged in or- 

 charding. His friends in British Columbia 

 will be pleased to hear of his appointment 

 to this position. 



Advices received by the trade and com- 

 merce department at Ottawa, show that 

 there will be a good market in Germany for 

 Canadian apples. Last year some one hun- 

 dred and twenty thousand barrels were re- 

 ceived at Hamburg, and the conditions 

 warrant the expectation that the demand 

 will be fully equal to that of last year. 

 Three large importers in Hamburg are anx- 

 ious to ascertain if they can possibly ob- 

 tain a quantity of the same variety of ap- 

 ples of from five hundred to one thousand 

 barrels put up by the same packer under

LIME AND SULPHUR SOLUTION 



AND 



REX ARSENATE OF LEAD 



THE ORIGINAL FRUIT TREE SPRAY 



There were sold during the season of 1912, ^0,000 (fifty gallon) Barrels REX LIME 

 and SULPHUR SOLUTION, and 1,500,000 pounds REX ARSENATE OF LEAD. 



THERE'S A REASON 



For such an immense sale of REX goods. It is the "HIGH" quality of the raw materials we are 



compelled to obtain to manufacture our perfect solution. This costs us more than 25% per barrel 



over the materials that our competitors see fit to use. 



This will not permit us to compete in price with opposition, but we know we can give you 100% more 



value, and you have no sediment or mud, or waste material to pay for. 



The Growers of the Half Car Load, FIRST PRIZE BOX APPLES, awarded to Northumberland and 



and Durham, that were shown at the Fruit Show in Toronto, in November last, ALL USED REX 



SPRAY SOLUTIONS. 



To have perfect Fruit it is necessary to use the highest class materials, which means you must use REX.
