larly gratifying to notice that this reliable 

 and long established British firm have been 

 able to secure a favorable expression of opin- 

 ion from so eminent a fruit expert as Mr. 

 Maxwell Smith of British Columbia. The 

 manufacturers have substantially reduced 

 the price of these articles so that now there 

 is no reason that our largest or smaller 

 growers cannot use these excellent remedies. 

 Readers of The Canadian Horticulttjrisi

the Fameuse. Being excellent in flavor, 

 highly colored and of medium size. Boy's 

 Delight is a desert apple that should be 

 planted more extensively. Its season is 

 October to mid-winter. 



A meeting of the Ontario Ginseng Grow- 

 ers' Association was held in Toronto on 

 Sept. 8. Interesting questions that bear on 

 marketing ginseng and on its cultivation 

 were discussed. The Canadian Hortictjl- 

 TURIST was appointed the official organ of 

 the Association. 



Twelve specimens of Boy's Delight apples 

 were received recently b.y The Canadian 

 Horticulturist from Mr. E. D. Smith, 

 Winona, Ont. This variety is being in- 

 troduced by the Helderleigh Nurseries. It 

 is a seedling of Fameuse (Snow) and was 

 found in the garden of Mr. S. P. Morse, 

 Lowville, Ont. The original tree is now very 

 old but still yields heavy crops. The fruit 

 is not as susceptible to scab as its parent. 



A British Invasion. — A British firm, 

 whose head oflices are in London, Eng- 

 land, but whose operations extend over a 

 large part of the civilized world, is now to 

 add Canada to its conquests. It is the 

 "Oxo" concern that has built up an enor- 

 mous business in their concentrated beef 

 food in other lands and soon the same will 

 be said of this concern in Canada. The 

 invasion of Oxo will be welcomed. 



Do You Want to Save 



$62 a Year? 



You must pay the washerwoman fifteen cents an 

 hour. 



It is hard earned money at that. If you do your 

 own washing, or have the servant do it, this steam- 

 ing, baclt-breaking, temper-destroying work will 

 cost you more than hand-chapping, cold-catching 15 

 cents an hour in the end. 



It takes eight hours' hard labor to do the average 

 family wash. 



Bight hours at 15 cents, costs you $1.20 per week 

 for washing. 



This means $62.40 per year, without reckoning 

 fuel for fires, or wear on clothes. 



We will save you half of that— or No Pay. 



We will send any reliable person our "1900 Grav- 

 ity" Washer on a full month's free trial. 



We don't want a cent of your money, nor a note, 

 when we ship you the Washer on trial. We even 

 pay all the freight out of our own pockets, so that 

 you may test the machine as much as you like 

 before you agree to buy it. 



Use it a full month at our expense. If you don't 

 find it does better washing, in half, the time, send 

 it back to the railway station, with our address on 

 it — that's all. 



We will then pay the freight back, too, without a 

 murmur. 



But if the month's test convinces you that our 

 "1900 Gravity" Washer actually does 8 hours' wash- 

 ing in 4 hours' time— does it twice as easy— far bet- 

 ter, without wearing the clothes, breaking a button or tearing of laoe. then yon write, 

 and tell us so. 



From that time on you pay us every week, part of what our machine saves you, say 

 50 cents per week, till the Washer is paid for. 



Each "1900 Gravity" Washer lasts at least five years, yet a very few months, at 60 

 cents per week, makes it entirely your own out of what It saves you on each washing. 



Every year our Washer will save you about $62.00. Yet the "1900 Gravity" Washer 

 won't cost you a cent, under our plan, because we let it pay lor itself. You need not 

 take our word for that. We let you prove all we say. at our expense, before you decide 

 to buy it on these terms. 



Could we risk the freight both ways with thousands of people if we did not know our 

 "1900 Gravity" Washer would do all we claim for it? 



It costs you only the two-cent stamp on a letter to ua to bring this quick and easy 

 Washer to your door on a month's trial. 



That month's free use of it will save you about $2.00. You thus risk nothing but the 

 postage stamp to prove our claims, and we practically pay you $2.00 to try it. 



This offer may be withdrawn any time if it crowds our factory. 



Therefore WRITE TO-DAV, while the oiTer is open, and while you think of it. A 

 postcard will do. 



Address me personally for this offer. vi»., C. H. Y. BACH, Manager The "1900" Washer 

 Company, 357 Yonge street, Toronto, Ont. 



The above offer is not good in Toronto or Montreal and suburbs— special arrangements 

 are made for these districts.
