Ontario Fruit Growers. 



At a meeting of the executive board of the 

 Ontario Fruit Growers' Association held in 

 Toronto on March 13, secretary Hodsetts 

 read a letter from Prof. John Craig, of Cor- 

 nell University, secretary of the American 

 Pomological Society, accepting, on behalf 

 of the association, the invitation to hold 

 their annual meeting in St. Catharines in 

 September, igog, on a date to be subse- 

 quently elected. Secretary Hodgetts also 

 reported that in accordance with the re 

 quest of the association, Mr. W. T. Ma- 

 coun, C. E. F., Ottawa, had been added to 

 the advi:;ory board for fruit station work. 



The representatives to The Canadian Na- 

 tional Exhibition reported that the prize 

 list for fruit had been re-arranged so as 

 to induce a larger and more representative 

 exhibit of Canadian fruit. The list of varie- 

 ties had been cut down to a certain extent 

 and a new class added for pyramids of fruit. 

 Further changes were also made with a view 

 to improving the display of all classes. 



It was decided by the t)oard to issue a 

 small circular at once, giving the methods 

 of spraying as adopted by three or four of 

 our most suc<cssful frurt growers. 



. Vegetable Experiments 



The practical educational work carried or 

 by the Ontario Agricultural College, 

 through the Experimental Union, is now 

 well known throughout Ontario. Thou- 

 sands of people in both town and country 

 interested in farming, fruitgrowing or gar- 

 dening are carrying on experiments under 

 the direction of the College and are pro- 

 fiting by the experience. The seeds or 

 plants for these experiments and full in- 

 structions for conducting them are furnished 

 free on the understanding that each experi- 

 menter will report the results of his experi- 

 ment at the end of the season. 



Owing to the great demand for t 

 experiments with fruits and the limiti 

 funds for the purchase of plants for this p' 

 pose, the supply of these for this year 

 already exhausted. But we have on h 

 a good supply of seeds for the experimen 

 with vegetables and hope to be able to fur- 

 nish these to all interested in the growii 

 of the best kind of garden vegetables. 



Three of the leading varieties of each 

 the following kinds of vegetables are ofFi 

 for testing this spring, viz., beets, carrol 

 onions, lettuce, early tomatoes and lai 

 tomatoes. The early tomatoes are best fi 

 northern sections where the later and bett& 

 varieties cannot be depended upon to ripe] 



Any person in Ontario who wishes to jog 

 in this CO- operative testing may choose 

 one of the experiments above mentioned 

 send in his application for the seeds aA 

 instructions for conducting the sam 

 These will be sent by mail free of charj; 

 but each applicant must agree to follow t 

 directions furnished, and report the resu 

 at the end of the season, whether success! 

 or not. Applications will be filed in t 

 order they are received until the supply 

 seeds is exhausted. Address all aplicatioj 

 to H. L. Hutt, O. A. C, Guelph, Ont. 



A Piano for $25.00. — In every sense of 11 

 word the sale of somewhat used, but ni 

 badly used, square pianos at Heintzman 

 Go's, Limited, 115-117 King street wei 

 Toronto, is sensational. The announceme; 

 has brought this firm orders from almol 

 every corner of the Dominion. The de 

 mination is to clear out every square pia: 

 in the place between now and stock-tak 

 and surely prices like $25, $30, $35, ai 

 $40, will do it — in payments of $5 down a; 

 50 cents a week.
