XUI. 



these districts that pruning', cultivation

 healthy trees, and good first-class fruit. 

 All these Associations in our Province are 

 in their infancy and have a lot to learn. 



Competitiom may be the life of trade, but 

 more often it is the death of somebody's 

 business. On the other hand Cooperation 

 is the life of a community. Some city 

 people say that the Associations will make 

 the cost of living higher. I don't think 

 so. They vyill get better goods and more

NEW TOMATO

 very olo.sely jointed and -producing enormous 

 bunches, averaging 25 fruits, but as many as 

 40 are quite common, while for its free set- 

 ting and fruiting qualities there ie no variety 

 to equal it. The fruit is of medium size. 

 round and firm, skin a beautiful deep glossy 

 scarlet, while the flavor ie exquisite. 



This is the variety and the selection that 

 enabled Mr. W. N. Oraig, of Langwater Gar- 

 dens, Boston, Maas., to stagger Bostonians 

 and the States in general, at the great Hor- 

 ticultural Exhibition held in Boston, on Jmie 

 23r(i, 1912, with an exhibit of this variety In 

 fruit and bunch, gaining the coveted honor 

 of a Flrst-Class Certificate, the first for nigh 

 20 years granted for a oommercial sort. 



This selection is now being offered for the 

 first time. Pkt. 25c

 desired varieties.

pleasant for handling; easy to get at. The 



pumps have the greatest eflaciency, that is, the 



(Now Made in Canada) least slippage of any pumpe in use on any 



sprayer— this has been shown by disinterested tests. Unit Sprayers; so you boild bigger
