Apterite. — In reference to Apterite, I feel 

 sure that it is destined to become a useful 

 and necessary article in the production of 

 all plant life. I have tried it on several 

 plants and the results are good. Begonia 

 Gloire de Lorraine potted into five and six- 

 inch pots in soil in which Apterite was 

 used, gave very fine results and seem to 

 hold their flowers much longer than usual. 

 A few young crotons were tried with Apter- 

 ite and give promise of fine growths, with 

 no signs of insect life. I have no hesitation 

 in saying that I feel sure that Apterite will 

 be much used in the production of all horti- 

 cultural produce with good results in the 

 near future.— (Signed) E. F. Collins, Secy., 

 Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' Associa- 

 tion.

The big apple show held at Spokane, 

 Wash, was a great success. It was the 

 largest show of its kind ever held in the 

 world. British Columbia, to her credit, 

 secured about l-7th of the $35,000 offered 

 as premiums. About $5,000 of this was won 

 by Mr. F. K. E. DeHart of the Kelowna 

 district. Lack of space prevents the publica- 

 tion of a full account of this big show. It 

 will appear in the February issue. 



The Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion held its annual convention last month 

 at Middleton. Many important papers were 

 read wliich will be referred to in later 

 issues. A resolution was passed asking for 

 a better tariff arrangement with Germany. 

 The officers for the ensuing year were 

 elected as follows: Pres., Miles Chipman; 

 senior vice-pres., E. E. Archibald; sec, 

 S. C. Parker; asst.-sec, J. H. Cox; treas.,

 dents remain practically the same.
