of Mr. J. P. Jaffray of Gait. Berlin Park 

 was the first organized in Canada. There 

 are 8 or 9 Park Commissions now in On-

THE Eyperienced Fruit Grower 

 is the man wiio realizes the 

 importance of using only high- 

 class Sprayers. He knows that 

 spraying is what you make it^a 

 hard job or an easy proposition, 

 depending on the outfit. Most Grow- 

 ers have learned that it doesn't pay 

 to bother with cheap ones. Goulds' 

 Sprayers have a reputation to 

 maintain. They comprise a line of 



Over 25 Styles 



for both Hand and Power— all sim- 

 ple — all working parts brass to 

 withstand wear and the chemical 

 action of the solutions. Don't be 

 caught experimenting with a cheap 

 sprayer — see that the name Goulds 

 is cast on the pump. Its presence 

 is the assurance you are buying the 

 very best Sprayer made. It guar- 

 antees satisfaction and reliability.

this continent. Philadelphia has 25 miles 

 of boulevard, running from park to park. 

 That city has a continuous policy as to 

 parks. Toronto should do the same. There 

 must be playgrounds for children. A 

 continuous policy is absolutely necessary. 



GOVERNMENT GRANT 



Rev. A. H. Scott of Perth and Mr. W. 

 B. Burgoyne of St. Catharines, showed 

 convincingly the reasons that have led 

 the horticultural societies to apply for an 

 increase in their government grant. 



HORTIOULTTTRAL SOCIETY WORK 



"How to Increase the Usefulness of the 

 Smaller Horticultural Societies," was the 

 title of a paper by James Mitchell, Goderich. 

 Among the lines suggested were beautifying 

 school grounds, and encouraging a love of 

 horticulture among the scholars; offering 

 prizes for best kept lawns and gardens, 

 distributing seeds, bulbs and plants, also 

 civic improvement in many ways, especially 

 as regards public buildings. 



Prof. John Craig, Cornell University, 

 spoke on Civic Improvement in America, 

 showing how all things depend upon the 

 individual. Civic improvement was not 

 limited to beautifying the city, but was 

 concerned in the improvement of morals. 

 Improvement should not be confined to 

 the towns, but should spread to the 

 country. 



James Wilson, Park Commissioner, To- 

 ronto, reviewed the history of Public Play- 

 grounds in the United States and Canada. 

 Many of these playgrounds are equipped 

 with the simplest apparatus, but served 

 their purpose well and were always crowded 

 with children. Supervisors are necessary 

 to keep out hoodlums. Separate divisions 

 for boys and girls are advisable and shelters 

 from the weather must be provided. Open 

 air bathing grounds for summer and closed 

 for winter use are features that can be 

 added. 



In Toronto in 1908 a start was made. 

 This year seven schools were provided with 

 grounds, which are kept open even during 

 the holidays. The first municipal play 

 ground here was opened this year. 

 directors' reports 



Reports of the directors representing .the 

 seven districts of Ontario were presented 

 and were of an encouraging nature, showing 

 the excellent work being done by the so- 

 cieties. 



BLACK 

 KNIGHT 



STOVE POLISH 



Has the "Black Knight" 

 come to your home ? 



Let him show you the 

 quick and easy way to shine 

 the stoves. 



"Black Knight" takes 

 all the hard work and dirty 

 work out of stove polishing. 



It's a paste — so there is 

 no watery mixture to be 

 prepared. 



Just a few rubs with cloth or 

 brush brings a mirror-like shine 

 that "you can see your face in". 

 And the shine lasts !

 mend "Black Kuight" Stove Polish.
