THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



Fighting the Railways 



The proposed abolition by the Canadian 

 Pacific Railway of certain less than carload 

 and concentrating- privileg-es formerly af- 

 forded to the fruit districts near Toronto, 

 occupied part of a session of the Railway 

 Comission during- December. The main 

 point at issue was the question of the Rail- 

 way Board's jurisdiction in the matter. 



The privileges hitherto afforded by the 

 C.P.R. were those for the movement of 

 fruit in carload lots to distributing centres 

 such as Brighton, Ont., their concentration 

 into carloads there amd reshipment, all at a 

 low rate. These the railway proposes to 

 abolish. The Canadian Pacific took the 

 stand that the Railway Commission had -no 

 jurisdiction in the matter. 



Items of Interest 



Experiments with rot in apples, particu- 

 larly with the dry black spots which appear 

 on the surface of the fruit, are being con- 

 ducted at St. Catharines by W. A. McCub- 

 bin, M..^., of the Dominion Laboratory of 

 Pathology. He is inoculating perfect speci- 

 mens with the rot to observe the effect. He 

 is also treating the peach tree canker, and 

 has discovered an apparently new rot on 

 tomatoes which he is following up. Mr. 

 McCubbin, who has found that many shade 

 trees in the city are suffering from sores 

 caused by injuries in which a fungus dis- 

 ease gets into the wood and eats it up, re- 

 commends painting- these sores, as no fun- 

 gus can thrive under paint.

THE aasumption that a greenhouse 

 on a private place caunot be made 

 to pay; or that it is an out and 

 out luxury— is a fallacy. 



By way of comparison— the man who 

 buys a touring car and devotee it solely 

 to pleasure jaunta and then states that 

 "it is nothing but a continuous bill of 

 expense," certainly is not to be classed 

 with the one who. in addition to the 

 pleasurable side, also uses his oar to 

 the undoubted advantage of his busi- 

 ne.sa. either direct or indirect. 



By the same token, grcenhoiises can 

 be either a delightful expenditure; a 

 combination of pleasure and profit; or 



a, strictly bnai ess p < posi- 

 lioii. 



The owner of the houses' 

 above makes his living by 

 furnishing flowers and vegetables to a 

 big city hotel, in addition to a local 

 trade of no mean proportion. 



Why don't you investigate the three 

 above named phases and convince your- 

 self that you ought to have a green- 

 house?
