that the season is sufficiently advanced that 

 the eg-gfs have been laid by fowl which have 

 had the advantagfe of outdoor air and ex- 

 ercise at least for two weeks. 



Ornamental Plants. — What shall we 

 plant in our perennial border this spring .? 

 This question will bother many of our read- 

 ers and it is not easily answered ; even when 

 the average catalogue is consulted, many 

 would still be confused. Mr. H. P. Van 

 Wagner, of Stoney Creek, Ont., has made 

 an extensive study of the best varieties of 

 shrubs, perennials, tubers, bulbs, and .so 

 forth, to plant in Canadian gardens that will 

 produce the best results. The many prizes 

 that Mr. Van Wagner has secured at Exhi- 

 bitions speaks well of his selection. We 

 would refer our readers to the full page ad- 

 vertisement for a partial list of the varieties 

 Mr. Van Wagner is offering for sale this 

 season. 



I enclose $1.00, which will cover my subscrip- 

 tion for two years at the present price, and I 

 think I have got a good bargain. I should not 

 like to be without The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist. — Geo. Milne, Pointe Claire, Que. 



As evidence of the popularity of Wallace 

 sprayers, Mr. W. H. Brand, sole agent for 

 Canada, Jordan station, Ont., recently re- 

 ceived the following: "It affords us pleas- 

 ure to state that we have used one of the 

 Wallace Standard Power Sprayers during 

 the past season, and found it perfectly sat- 

 isfactory, giving plenty of pressure with 

 no trouble whatever. (Signed), Wilbur 

 Winters, Frank H. Hall, John Usher, J. W. 

 Roberts, all of Wicklow, Ont." 



The Aspinwall new No. 3 Potato Planter 

 was placed on the market for the first time 

 in 1Q07. It gave a most satisfactory ac- 

 count of itself. By reports, it leaves little 

 to be desired in the way of a planter. Any 

 one interested in potato machinery should 

 write the Aspinwall Company at Jackson, 

 Michigan, for their igo8 Catalog, describing 

 the whole Aspinwall line. Better do it now 

 before the potato season is on. 



The Popular Piano Player. — The player- 

 piano has stirred up any amount of enthus- 

 iasm in musical circles, if the many sales 

 being made by Heintzman & Co., Limited 

 115-117 King street, west, Toronto, are to be 

 taken as a criterion. This firm has a very 

 wide selection of player-pianos at terms of 

 payment to suit almost any purchaser.

NOZZLE

"THIS illustrates the 

 1 .S 



Spramotor Nozzle, 

 Fig. 56, designed to 

 apply lime-sulphur mix- 

 ture. It is made in brass 

 with brass or steel re- 

 movable discs, or with 

 aluminum cap and body 

 and brass or steel discs. 

 The particular merit of 

 this type of nozzle is in the large liquid ways 

 that prevent clogging and the double ways 

 being at an angle that gives the most perfect 

 form ot spray. 



We believe, for the purpose of spraying 

 with lime-sulphur or any coarse materials 

 under heavy pressure, it will be found unex- 

 celled. Price, by mail, $1.00.

Peerless Junior Poultry Fence 



The Peerless Junior Poultry and Garden Fence is in a class by itself, being 



unlike anything else on the market. It is woven close enough to turn small chickens, 



rabbits, dogs, etc., and is strong enough to turn large animals. It requires no top or 



bottom boards, and less than half the posts required by the ordinary Poultry 



Fencing. Top and bottom wires are No. 9 hard steel. As a general-purpose 



fence there is. nothing obtainable that will fill the bill so well, and its lasting 



quality, because of its extra strength, makes it 



The Most Durable Poultry 

 Fence You Can Buy 



Peerless Junior Fence has double the strength that would 

 ever be required of it. It has a breaking strain of at least 

 80lX) lbs. Don't you think it is just the fence you want? For 

 prices and further particulars, drop us a card.
