A Unique and Practical Nursery Exhibit 



Few of the thousands at the Canadian 

 National Exhibition who passed down the 

 roadway to the Old Machinery Hall, failed 

 to be attracted to and inspect the splendid 

 exhibit of Messrs. Stone & Wellington. 



The firm of Stone & Wellington is the 

 pioneer nursery concern of Canada, amd 

 is known from Coast to Coast. In past 

 years their exhibit has been most attrac- 

 tive, unique and practical, but this year 

 they certainly surpassed all previous 

 efforts, and for general appearance ranked 

 first among the several nursery concerns 

 represented. 



As will be seen by illustration below, it 

 consisted of a beautiful well-built pergola, 



The root portion of all was extremely well 

 developed. These trees are grown at their 

 Nurseries at Fonthill, and serve to show 

 the splendid class of stock they are grow- 

 ing for Fall and Spring trade. 



The Nurseries are situated at Fonthill, 

 Welland, where the conditions are ide.i! 

 for the production of the very highest cla'- 

 of nursery stock It conduces to prolifii 

 yet hardy growth The specimens of two- 

 year-old fruit trees were from six to eight ' 

 feet in height, with a specially large root 

 system, this ensuring a quick setting when 

 planted in the orchard. 



Messrs. Stone & Wellington have for 

 this Fall and next Spring's delivery an 



form of landscape embellishment which is 

 coming more and more into .favor, in the 

 foreground. Before the two front columns 

 were placed two beautiful specimens of 

 Juniper Virginiana or Red Cedar, each 

 nearly six feet in height, and between the 

 pillars stood tub specimens of Arbor Vitae 

 Pyramidallis. The whole surrounding 

 ground was set out with dwarf Spruce. 



At the rear of the pergola was an at- 

 tractive summer house, and in front of it 

 a well-spt sun dial. The pergola was paint- 

 ed white and the quaint summer house in 

 green and white. The combination of the 

 two colors made a most pleasing display. 



The whole exhibit was a sample of the 

 high quality work of the Landscape De- 

 partment of the firm. 



The building was used as an office, the 

 walls being decorated with illustrations of 

 the shrubs, trees, etc., sold by the firm, 

 also a number of sample plans for pri- 

 vate and public grounds made by their 

 Landscape Designer, who was in charge of 

 the exhibit, and who was prepared to offer 

 suggestions and answer all questions re- 

 lative to that work. 



A feature which attracted equal attention 

 from both farmers and fruit growers, was 

 their display of fruit tree stock. It con- 

 sisted of samples of their celebrated two- 

 year-old standard grown stock, such as 

 apples, peaches, pears, plums and cherries. 



immense quantity of fruit trees such as 

 shown at the Exhibition. 



The readers of The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist who are interested in Landscape 

 Architecture or in high-class nursery 

 stock are cordially invited to call at the 

 head office of the firm at 49 Wellington 

 Street East, Toronto, or at the Nurseries 

 at Fonthill, Welland Co. 



I 



St. Catharines Exhibition 



The Fruit and Flower Show held by the 

 St. Catharines Horticultural Society on 

 September 10 and 11 was easily the best in 

 the history of the organization. The fruit 

 growers are taking a keen interest in the 

 workings of the Society, and were in evi- 

 dence with a grand display of fruit. Spe- 

 cial attention was" given to the children, a i 

 fine display of asters being made by then 

 from seed distributed by the society. Os 

 both days the attendance was large. Hon.i 

 Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, 

 formally opened the show. 



Apples were displayed almost entirely 

 as plate exhibits, only five boxes, each of 

 a separate variety, being shown. On the 

 whole the plate exhibits were good. A 

 few. however, showed lack of knowledge 

 on the part of the exhibitor as to what con- 

 stitutes a first-class plate exhibit. The 

 apples were not uniform in size or shape,
