Nova Scotia 



The Nova Scotia Department of Agri- 

 culture is determined that the apple mag- 

 gots shall not gain a hold in the orchards 

 of that province. So far this pest has not 

 made its appearance, except in a very few 

 localities. Infested fruit, however, has 

 been coming in from Ontario and the New 

 England states. When preventative mea- 

 sures are taken in time this pest can be 

 controlled. It spreads very slowly, some- 

 times confining its attack to only a few 

 trees for a number of years. This habit 

 is a very fortunate one. It is hoped that all 

 persons interested in the fruit industry in 

 that province will be on the lookout for 

 this insect and report any appearances to 

 Roberit Matheson, the Provincial Entom- 

 ologist. 



Ottawa Flower Guild 



The Ottawa Flower Guild continues to 

 progress. At a meeting last fall over forty 

 new members were admitted. The bulbs 

 chosen for this season are Narcissus Trum- 

 pet Victoria, Narcissus Trumpet Princeps, 

 and Hyacinth Gigantea. The plants are 

 Whitmanii Fern, Begoaiea Luminosa 

 Asparagus Plumosus. 



Children up to twelve years of 

 receive three of each set of bulbs. Child- 

 ren over twelve are given a choice between 

 plants or bulbs. A bulb exhibition will be 

 held in February at which the children will 

 be given an opportunity to compete for 

 prizes. President R. B. Whyte has been 

 giving instructions recently on the growing 

 of bulbs. Marked benefit is following tne 

 work of the society.

With one organization handling a large 

 volume of apples it will be possible to se- 

 cure better terms from the railways.

JOHN CAVERS 



On Greenhouses 



HAS it ever ocotirrod to you that the 

 congtrnction of greenhousea is de- 

 cidedly different, and that a great 

 doal of the snocees of your flowers de- 

 pends on the confitruction? 



Haven't you thought that practically 

 the only difference in greenhou.'ies. aeido 

 from design, was the difference in prict;? 



With everythini? else, isn't there always 

 some one kind that is generally conceded 

 to be better than the rest, and taken as 

 a standard for comparisons? 



Then, isn't it only logical it should b> 

 so with greenhouses? When other green- 

 house builders clnim their houses are 



"as light as the U-Bar's." it's significant that the TJ-Bar 

 is the lightest of them all. 



If the other builders are constructing their houses 

 with curved eave.s as near as possible like the TJ-Bar's. 

 there must be a distinct advantage in the U-Bar curved 

 eave. 



Now. the truth of the matter Is: No one can or does

build a bouse anything like the tT-Bar. 

 because it's a patented construction and 

 we are lt« sole users. 



That it has distinct advantages, green- 

 house erperts admit. Wh-^ther these ad- 

 vantages are worth the difference in cost 

 Is a question that you can settle only 

 after a careful comparison. 



Before you put any money in a green- 

 house, it might be well to go into the 

 matter a bit. 



Our catalog will be a great help. 



To have one of our representatives call 

 would doubtless be the most satisfactory. 



Which shall it be?
