THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



February, 1909 



Every year each one of us 

 consumes 15 lbs. of salt — 

 Sdence says. 



— More than a pound a- 

 month. 



Just as well to have it pure. 



Your grocer will tell 



you there's nothing 



per cent, which represents the best of the 

 other brands. Twelve and 13 per cent, is 

 not unusual in other brands, and it means 

 practically that three pounds of your ma- 

 terial will do the work of four pounds of 

 any other brand that is on the market at 

 the present time If, therefore, you can pro- 

 duce your arsenate at the same price as the 

 other brands already on the 'market, it will 

 be cheaper by 25 per cent, than any other."

 Chemical Go. that appears on another page

Enlightened Self- Interest. — People buy 

 and sell with one fundamental object — the 

 hope of gain. It is a matter of self-interest 

 pure and simple and doubtless will remain 

 so to the end of the chapter. In the United 

 States one of the most conspicuous exam- 

 ples of self-interest wisely consulted is the 

 seed business of D. M. Ferry & Co. We 

 do not know how it would be possible bet- 

 ter to serve the purchasing public than by 

 their method of supplying annually every 

 local dealer in the country with seeds fresh- 

 ly put up and then at the end of the sea- 

 son removing from the retailer all stocks 

 left on hand, thus preventing the possibili- 

 ty of unfit seeds being carried over for an- 

 other spring. By regarding primarily the 

 interests of the purchaser, D. M. Ferry & 

 Co. have grown to be the largest seed-house 

 in the world. Learn more about reliable 

 seeds by writing to D. M. Ferry & Co., 

 Windsor, Ont., for their 1909 Seed Annual 

 which is sent free on request. 



Form a Potato Club. — How to grow a 

 larger and better crop of potatoes without 

 increasing the acreage is an important sub- 

 ject for potato growers to consider. The 

 farmer who has been growing 200 bushels 

 an acre should strive for 225 bushels in 



1909, and even more. Do some thinking 

 on the subject and then invite a half dozen 

 of your neighbors to come to your home 

 some evening and talk it over. Form a 

 "Potato Club." Wonderful results will be 

 sure to follow. Do not set a date for the 

 meeting, however, until you have sent for 

 the 1909 "Iron Age" book, which should be 

 used as a text book at your first meeting. 

 This book, also a aopy for each member in- 

 vited to join the club, if name and address 

 of each party is given, may be had free by 

 addressing Bateman Mfg. Co., Box 516P, 

 Grenloch, N. J. The ladies should be in- 

 vited, for if they do not take part in the 

 "potato discussion" they can surely spend 

 the evening pleasantly and profitably. 



At the meeting of the Quebec Pomologi- 

 cal Society, at St. Anne de Bellevue, an 

 editorial representative of The Canadian 

 Horticulturist had the pleasure of meet- 

 ing Mr. K. B. Scripture, Manager of Thf 

 Canadian Nur.sery Co., Montreal. Mr 

 Scripture has had a wide experience in the 

 fruit business, being junior partner of 

 Messrs. H. J. Scripture & Son, Brighton, 

 Ont., fruit growers and exporters, and hav- 

 ing been connected with the well-known 

 firms of Geo. Vipond & Co. and Hart & 

 Tuckwell, Montreal. The Canadian Nursery 

 Co. is advancing rapidly and is now looked 

 on as one of the foremost in its line in Can- 

 ada. We congratulate them on their good 

 fortune in securing a man of Mr. Scrip- 

 ture's experience as their manager and we 

 bespeak success for them and the hardy 

 northern-grown stock. 



I have been a subscriber t(5 The Cana- 

 dian Horticulturist only since last 

 spring, and have found each number both « 

 interesting and helpful.— W. D. Lang, 

 Qu'Appelle Co., Sask.
