other varieties. In all otlier sections of 

 Ontario the crop is practically a failure, 

 with a few scattered exceptions in the inland 

 counties north of Lake Erie. Nova Scotia 

 and British Columl)ia both report a crop be- 

 tween medium and full, altliough consider- 

 able damage has been done to the latter pro- 

 vince by Fire Blight. 



PEACHES 



In spite of the fact that the peach crop in 

 the Niagara district is practically a failure, 

 some Triumphs are upon ttie market, and at 

 least in one instance these were purchased 

 at 55 cents for six quart baskets f.o.b. ship- 

 ping point and retailed in Ottawa at 75 

 cents. At figures such as these, the few 

 growers who are fortunate enough to have 

 hardy cling-stone varieties in their orchards, 

 will be in an enviable position, at least in 

 the eyes of their less fortunate neighbors. 

 The prices should also be good for the 

 peaches of Essex, Kent and Lambton coun- 

 ties. In British Columbia the apricot sea- 

 son was ended by the first of August, which 

 is two weeks earlier than in the ordinary 

 year. All peaches are reported a good crop. 



TOM .X TOES 



The long spell of hot, dry weather ser- 

 iously affected the tomato crop in all parts 

 of Ontario, and the chances now are that in 

 spite of the very heavy acreage the total 

 crop will not greatly exceed that of previous 

 years. The crop in British Columbia is in 

 practically the same condition as in Ontario, 

 except, of course, in irrigated sections 

 where the eflfects of drouth have been large- 

 ly prevented. In other sections, however. 

 tli£ lack of rain has resulted in a falling off

TJie etageration in many lines of business 

 caused by the European War furnishes an 

 opportunity for many business men to make 

 improTemente in their gardens and home 

 grounds. No line of plants will give such 

 large results for the outlay as Herbaceous Per- 

 enmals. Of these the Paeony. Iris, Del- 

 pJiinium. Phlox, Helenium and Hardy Chry- 

 santhemum aj« the best six. We have fine 

 stocks of theee and of many others, grown in 

 our own grounds— all described in our Fall 

 Planting List, just issued, which is sent free 

 on request. 



We offer 50 varieties of Paconies at from 

 30o to $2.50 each; 30 Tars, of Irises at from 

 lie to .$1.00 each: 5 vars. of Phloxes at 16-20c 

 ea«h; 5 vars. of Heleniums at 15-20c each; 

 Gold Medal Hybrid Dslphiniums at 20c each. 

 10 for .$1.50- 5 vars. of Hemerooallis at 15- 

 20c each; 6 vars. Astilbe and Spirea at 15- 

 35» each; 4 vars. of Campamilps at 20c ea«h; 

 5 vajs. of Heuchera at 20o each, Dicentra 

 Spectabilis at 20c each; 3 vars. Shasta 

 I>aisits at 26c each, 10 for $2.00, and many 

 others. 



At the hour of writing, it is doubtful 

 whether the usual importations of Daffodils 

 and Tulips can be re-seived because of the 

 war. The best substitute for these is Irises. 

 of which we have a good stock. These 

 should be planted at the earliest day jkjs- 

 sible in September. 



Cash with order, including postage, as per 

 schedule, please.
