"Why,'" said buyers, "we have new apples 

 in; yours cannot be any good." He said, 

 "taste them," and they did and acknow- 

 ledged that they were first-class. Now this 

 gentleman had only a good cellar ; temper- 

 atures were obtained by the opening or shut- 

 ting of a window. The other fellow's apples 

 did not keep sowell, because probably he tied 

 his picking basket to a limb and when he 

 got up the tree, 10 feet above his basket, 

 he forgot and said, "well, iney won't hurt 

 to drop in the basket." This fellow's apples 

 rotted in December and he wonders how 

 his neighbors can keep apples the year 

 around.

The prospects for a good fruit crop are 

 excellent. Apples, pears, plums, cherries 

 and currants are loaded with blossom buds. 

 Such an unusually heavy display of blossoms 

 does not always indicate a heavy crop ; the 

 young fruits are more liable to drop unless 

 there is an abundance of nourishment to 

 carry them than when there are fewer flow- 

 ers, and as yet we have to reckon with the 

 June frosts if there are any to come. 



Spraying is in full swing, and many more

System provides for

The above are two of the great outstanding facts in connection with the

The combined result is that Dwellings, Churches, Halls, etc. can 

 be properly heated with an amount of fuel which with any other 



system would be w^holly inadequate.

 past and present conditions have been con- 

 ducive to a good fruit crop. The summer 

 was fairly dry and was succeeded by a mild 

 winter and here we are with a backward 

 spring. 



Early peas are fit to cultivate. Asparagus, 

 rhubarb, chives, mustard and cress are now 

 very welcome after the long winter, but dur- 

 ing the cold weather lettuce have been grown 

 in greenhouses for which there seems to be an 

 enormous demand ; now, they are being fOl-

 a great mistake by not having an asparagus 

 bed ; once planted, it is good for a lifetime 

 and yields a luscious green vegetable befor* 

 the trees are in leaf.

The rush for young fruit trees still con-

 half the demand. Ornamental trees are alsc 

 receiving their share of attention ; every
