play was too green for exhibition, although 

 some of the fruits showed very attractive 

 coloring. Two weeks later would be much 

 better for the large fruit section of the ex- 

 hibition. The Buchanan Nursery Co. had 

 quite a large table covered with seedling 

 crabs and another table contained aboiit 75 

 plates of seedling plums, mostly of the na- 

 tive type, but some of them large and very 

 attractive in coloring. Outside of this one 

 exhibit, the plum display was not very 

 large. 



'■ The vegetable exhibit was a real wonder. 

 Besides very large collections put up by 

 the Canadian Pacific gardens at Louise 

 Bridge and the Government House at Win- 

 nipeg, there were six collections shown by 



, professionals. Besides this, there was a very 



j full entry for competition in all the classes 



• for individual varieties. 



i The amateur exhibit of vegetables was 



inot inferior in any way to that shown by 

 the professionals. In some sections it was 

 superior, notably in cabbages and potatoes. 



The flower sections of the show were also 

 very strong. Of the city greenhouse men. 

 A. H. Stopler and R. B. Ormiston were the 

 only ones to put in displays, but excellent 

 and large exhibits of decorative plants were 

 put up by the Winnipeg Parks Board, the 

 Agricultural College and Government 

 House. Besides this the Elmwood Ceme- 

 tery Co. made a splendid display that show, 

 ed what they are doing in the way of grow- 

 ing conifers, ornamental shrubbery and 

 flowers. The Buchanan Nursery Co., 

 Brookside Cemetery and the Winnipeg 

 Parks Board also exhibited quite a large 

 number of cut flowers. 



Besides this, there was a very large dis- 

 play of cut flowers both professional and 

 amateur entered in the contests for different 

 varieties. Among all the different kinds 

 that were shown it is hard to particularize 



but perhaps sweet peas, gladioli and asters 

 may be mentioned as being particularly fine. 

 The potted plants did not make a large 

 exhibit and were not of a very superior 

 quality. 



Most of the exhibitors at the exhibition 

 belonged to the Winnipeg district, but be- 

 sides local exhibits quite a number were 

 brought from outside points. This was es- 

 pecially the case in the fruit sections, but 

 S. Larcombe, of Birtle, who came almost 

 two hundred miles with a fine collection 

 of vegetables and cut flowers, may be giv- 

 en special mention, as well as note made of 

 the vegetable exhibit which was received 

 from Dauphin too late to enter for compe- 

 tition.

Fruit going forward so lar under my in- 

 spection has been of very fair quality, prin- 

 cipally apples and pears. Of course, the 

 kinds of apples going forward — Duchess. 

 Alexanders, Wealthy, Colverts, Jennet- 

 ting — are not so subject to fungi as many 

 varieties to follow, I am glad to report one 

 lot of R. I. Greenings that went forward 

 of a very clean type and well matured 

 for season. 



Packers should not put in apples unde. 

 medium size in No. 1 quality, even if they 

 are bright in color. Color is a redeeming 

 feature but, if less than medium, let them 

 go to better the No. 2 grade. Looking in- 

 to the basket packs of peaches, pears and 

 apples I find the packers who take pains 

 and place their fruit in tiers show a com- 

 pact, even surface with medium fruit by 

 itself and large in another basket. This 

 way attracts attention. 



Export apples are largely in eight-hoop 

 barrels, which is the barrel every time for

Make Denatured Alcohol 

 for 8c^ a Gallon* 



The navies of the world have adopted tax-free commercial al- 

 cohol for smokeless motive power for ships. It saves boiler room, 

 coal room, handling of fuel and is a little cheaper than steam 

 power. Just think! 85 per cent, of water is the principal part 

 converted into alcohol by chemical action in contact with fer- 

 mented vegetable waste matter, and sawdust, wood syrup and 

 lime or any carbo-hydrate. Combining with 94 per cent, oxygen 

 or atmospheric air when used for motive power, heat or other 

 light purposes. The real denatured alcohol opens an absolutely 

 new market for the use of saw mill waste, pulp, paper and 

 chemical fiber mill waste product, and for millions of tons of 

 farm products, that even the world's greatest monopoly cannot 

 touch. Our denaturizing distilling apparatus is constructed of 

 fitppl plate galvanized, and the highest grade seamless copper 

 tiil-lng, tested to 300 pounds pressure. Its conductivity makes pos- 

 sible the instantaneous hot steam alcohol distilling. As a very 

 simple but serviceable still and doublcr that will produce 100 

 gallons tax-free denatured alcohol daily for 8 cents a gallon. It 

 weighs complete 985 pounds That what is the most difficult to 

 secure is that which we prize the most. No speculative futures; 

 the m;irket demands the product. The motor boats, the automo- 

 biles and the navies of the world will use it. Unquestionable refer- 

 ences. We are ready to negotiate with responsible individuals 

 on very liberal terms. 



This wood waste alcohol distilling apparatus is of untold bene- 

 fit to farmers, lumbermen, varnish makers, paint manufacturers, 

 soap makers, paper, pulp and chemical fibre mills, etc., for the 

 utilization of wood waste by distillation, which puts real denat- 

 ured alcohol beyond competition with gasoline or kerosene. 



Do you want to be a progressive good fellow? Then establish 

 this new infant industry at home. It will yield a most profitable 

 income. Address to-day :
