New Cyclopedia of Horticultur 



Thi' Caiiiidiaii Jlorticulturist is in r<i.ii 

 of th<* finrt voUnm- of Prof. h. H. b;i 

 New- Standard Cyclopedia of Horticu: 

 The first volume coiitain.s some six hui 

 pages, and if the remaining five volun 

 the .set equal the standard set bv thi- 

 volume the set will establish a new sta; 

 of excellence for works of this char; 

 This new Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

 second edition of the original Qyclope 

 has been freshly written in the light of i 

 most recent re.s<?aroh and exiK^rienoe. It"* 

 not merely an ordinary revision or correc 

 t'd edition of the old cycloiKMlia. ibut 

 new work, with enlarged boundaries 

 graphically and practically. It trupti 

 and displaces all previous editions oi 

 prints of every kind whatsoever. 



It is the fullest and the most autli. 

 tive work of its kind and constitute 

 most conscientious attempt that has 

 made to compress the story of our hoi 

 tural thought, learning and achievi 

 into one set of books. The text is u. 

 alphabetical airangement and is supa| 

 mented by a synopsis of the plant kingd^ 

 a key to identification of species; a list ( 

 .specific plant names with their meanio 

 translat*^! into English and their pronm 

 ciation given ; a glossary with definitions ( 

 technical terms and a general index. Evei 

 name in the cyclopedia is also pronounce 

 in its regular entry. 



In its appiroximately four thousand gei 

 era, fifteen thousand species, forty thoii — 

 plant names, in clear and concise an ; 

 ment, this cyclopedia opens a knowledi.,^- . 

 plants and growing things not to be fouB 

 in any other horticultural work. It "■• 

 sents the combined labor and experieu 

 the foremost North American authoi - 

 on horticultural subjects. The six volumi 

 place at the disposal of the hortic-ulturis 

 whether practical, amateur or scientific, a 

 account of practically every subject whic 

 at any time may be of interest or use in h 

 calling. Its range is wide, covering plant 

 flowers, vegetables, trees, tillage proc' 

 tools and implements, cultural discus.- 

 botanical history, geography, commerci; 

 markets and myriad items that only coi 

 stant use will reveal. The scope of tl 

 volumes has not been confined to botanici 

 subjects alone, but every subject in any wa 

 incident to the activities of the horticultu 

 ist has been covered, commercially as we 

 a.s scientifically. The publishers are Ti 

 Macmillan Company of Canada. Limite(

Mr. Wm. Armstrong, Niagara Biv< 

 i>ruit Farm, Ontario, wiU this season ii 

 troduoe a new fruit package. This pacl 

 age will be a crate holding about one bushi 

 of fruit. It will contain a number of sma 

 crates, each holding one dozen or more ( 

 say peaches. Each peach will be wrappe 

 so as to expose to view a small portion < 

 each peach in the crate, and thus facil 

 tate immediate inspection bv all concerr''^ 

 This crate will be useful as a cold st< 

 package, as it provides for a free ciix... 

 tion of air through every part. Twent; 

 five years ago Mr. Armstrong introduced 

 new thirty-six quart berry crate whic 

 proved a success. 



The British Columbia Departmemt of Agr 

 culture had one of its representatives give 

 series of demonstrations of top working ai 

 pie trees during April in several of tl 

 leading fruit districts of the province.
