The Pick of the Bulb World 



All our bulbs are grown for us especi- 

 ally and are personally selected by 

 the James Carter & Co. experts. 



Thorough tests, both before exporta- 

 tion, and at the Carter establishmenf 

 at Raynes Park, London, assure sound 

 healthy bulbs of the very highest 

 quality. Our Tulips and Narcissus are 

 exceptionally hardy and well suited to 

 the Canadian climate. 



'^cc^itm^aMi 



are unequalled for bowl or bed cul- 

 ture. 



The Carter catalogue und handbook— 

 ■Bulbs" — illustrates and describes the 

 choicest varieties of Tulips, Narcissus. 

 Daffodils, Crocus, and many others. It 

 lists all well-known favorites and many 

 exclusive kinds not to be had elsewhere. 

 Complimentary copy on request. Write

Ontario, that is, those alon^ the north ^hurv 

 of Lake Ont;irio, the failure or success of 

 the crop seems to have depended to a very 

 great extent upon the attention given by 

 the growers to spraying. In spite of thi 

 very heavy drop, the general opinion ap- 

 pears to be that a crop about equal to '!■ ■■ 

 of last vear will be produced. Orel. 

 that were neglected wil!l be almost em: 

 worthless. In Prince Edward county re- 

 Ijorts are for a crop below average, cspf- 

 cially of Kings. Kings, Baldwins, 

 Spies will run about seventy per < 

 throughout the district. Some of the more 

 tender trees, particularly Ben Davis, are 

 showing the results of the severe winter, 

 which so greatly affected pears, plums, and 

 cherries. 



The yield in eastern Ontario and Que- 

 bec will be a heavy one, if no fur'- - 

 "drop" takes place. It is very gratif 

 to learn that in Dumdas county, the htj,... 

 of the Mcintosh, there is promise of an 

 abundant crop of that variety. Famencf 



'•=0 look we'l. The June drop was 

 heavy, but where the tent caterpillars v : 

 kept under control, there is stfll sufficient 

 fruit for an abundant crop. 



E.^STERN CONDITIONS. 



In the province of New Brumswick some 

 injury was done to early varieties by frost. 

 .-\ less serious cold spell was also experienc- 

 ed during the latter part of June. Pros- 

 pects g-enerally are very promising, par- 

 tinilar'ly for the fall and winter sorts. 



The early June frost is generally con- 

 sidered to have reduced the apple crop in 

 the .Annapolis Vallcv by somewhat over half 

 ;> million barreils. The blossoms set for a 

 r'Tord crop which wo'i'd probablv h?vp 

 reached almo-st the two million barrel mark. 

 '•Jeports .now are that about one million two 

 hundred thousand barrels will be harvested 



FARM BOYS 



The Ontario Agricultural College 



GUELPH, ONTARIO 



OPENS SEPTEMBER 18th, 1914, for Courses of two and four years. 



Every Ambitious Farm Boy in Ontario CAN COME TO COLLEGE. 



BECAUSE 



Ordinary public school education is sufficient for ad- 

 mission to the Course. 



The College Year begins September 18th, and ends 

 April I5th, so that students from the farm may return to 

 their homes to assist in the spring and summer work. 



Five months during the spring ajnd summer gives 

 many students opportunity to earn sufficient money to 

 defray College expenses for the following year. 



The tuition fee for Ontario students for two \'iears is 



only $20.00 per year, while board and room in residence 

 is obtained at $4.00 per week. 



A portion of the cost during the first year is defrayed 

 by work on the farm and the various departments. 



Students wishing to take the full Four Years' Course 

 for the degree of B.S.-A. conferred by the L^niversi y of 

 Toronto, do not require matriculation standing. Students 

 are accepted for this Couise if their standing on second 

 vear examinations warra.nts it.
