Niagara Falls is the Mecca of all tourists 

 to this continent from other lands as well 

 as to those of the continent. Is it not, 

 therefore, up to the government, which 

 owns the border of the river from lake to 

 lake to keep up and improve the national 

 attractions of the place to the highest pos- 

 sible degree? — Veritas vincit.

 POT 



On account of the drought last season, 

 strawberry plants made poor growth and 

 the strawtierry next summer probably will 

 be a scarce article. Growers will plant 

 largely, therefore, for the following year. 

 They will be able to sell all that they can 

 produce for the two succeeding years. 

 Plant only the best varieties from stock 

 of the best strains. Only the best is grown 

 by the R. M. Kellogg Co., of Three Rivers, 

 Mich. Read their advertisement on an-

Nova Scotia Fruit 



The Nova Scotia Department of Agricul- 

 ture sent a large display of fruit to the 

 Royal Horticultural Show in London, Eng- 

 land. Besides the fruit in packages, an ex- 

 cellent exhibit of small fruits bottled in 

 antiseptic solutions went forward. About 200 

 jars were put up mostly by growers in the 

 counties of Hants and Kings. Mr. Peter 

 Barrett, of Truro, N. S., 'bottled a large col- 

 lection of gooseberries and currants of many 

 varieties grown by himself from bushes of 

 imported sorts and many that he has orig- 

 inated. A portion of the lot is illustrated on 

 this page. A list of the Nova Scotia prize 



Small Fruits Bottled in Preserving Solutions 



"At our provincial and local exhibitions 

 there is very little encouragement for this 

 class of fruits. It is to be regretted. The
