Congratulations 



The February issue of The Cana- 

 dian Horticulturist is a credit to th^ 

 publishers, to the fruit industry and 

 to Canadian journalism. It strikes 

 that national note that we so much 

 appreciate. The cover is a work of 

 art as well as a good practical up-to- 

 date picture of spring. 



I used to wonder, when I was in 

 Ontario, why some firms did not ad- 

 vertise power sprayers to th« sleeping' 

 fruit industry of that province. N'ow 

 I am pleased to see so many firms ad- 

 vertising and trust that they will each 

 get a big enough slice of the trade 

 to pay them for it. The circulation 

 of The Canadian Horticulturist 

 should climb at the rate of five hun- 

 dred a month. — Chas. Webster, Arm- 

 stromg, B.C. 



New Brunswick 



In his address as president of the New 

 Brunswick Fruit Growers' Association, Mr. 

 C. N. Vroom, of Fredericton, spoke re- 

 cently as follows . 



The past year was not one of the most 

 prosperous. While in some parts of the 

 province the crop of small fruits and of 

 apples were fairly good, the weather condi- 

 tioms generally were against us. This re- 

 sulted in incomplete fertilization of the 

 blossoms and a consequent small set of 

 fruit, much of which was inferior in qual- 

 ity, and later in much fungus growth, 

 which was not wholly controlled by spray- 

 ing, although as is usual the fruit which 

 was carefully sprayed showed to great ad- 

 vantage over that which was not so cared 

 for. 



The concensus of opinion among the 

 members of the Fruit Growers Associa- 

 tion, obtained by the Secretary, was 

 against the holding of an Exhibition last 

 year, and the Department of Agriculture 

 in the absence of the exhibition, made ex- 

 hibits of fruit in different sections, which 

 attracted much attention, and gave a good 

 advertisement to the fruit growing capa- 

 bilities of the province. 



The setting of new orchards is steadily 

 increasing. Last year the association 

 through its secretary, handled fifteen thou- 

 sand trees which were distributed to mem- 

 bers at cost, at a large saving of money to 

 the members, and an assurance to them of 

 good stock, correctly named. This, and 

 the providing of spraying materials, have 

 been important points in the association's 

 work . 



I hope that the association will arrange 

 for the holding of an exhibition in the fall 

 of this year. These exhibitions serve the 

 double purpose of advertising the advan- 

 tages of our province fOr the fruit indus- 

 try, and of interesting our farmers in this 

 special line of work, which I believe is the 

 most profitable in which they can engage. 



The Canadian Horticulturist has receiv- 

 ed recently from the Dominion Experi- 

 mental Farm, Ottawa, two interesting bul- 

 letins, both by Mr. W. T. Macoun, Do- 

 minion Horticulturist. One is entitled 

 "Apple Breeding in Canada," and the 

 other "Hardy Roses, Their Culture in 

 Canada." Both are- well worth sending 

 for. 



The Canadian Horticulturist is one of 

 the best papers published. I always keep 

 my copies and bind them. — Wm. McSkim- 

 ming, Guelph, Ont.
