Our Trade in France

write to the British Chamber of Commerce 



j^Canadian Section), 17, Boulevard de la

 jrmation of buyers.

to use from three quarters of a pound 

 to one pound to 40 gallons of water to get 

 the same results that we used to receive 

 from a quarter of a pound. We are being 

 gulled as badly in the purchasing of Paris 

 green as we are in some of the other pre- 

 parations. 



This season, I bought a one-pound pack- 

 age of Paris green that would not mix with 

 water at all. A neighbor had the same ex- 

 perience. We should have some way of get- 

 ting redress from parties putting such in- 

 ferior stuff on the market. 



As fruit growers we have to put a first 

 class article on the market when we see 

 fit to put it up in a closed package, and it 

 is perfectly right; but I want to see the fel- 

 lows who put up the articles that we have 

 to use, placed on the same footing, so that 

 when we buy a package of Paris green 

 to spray our trees or potatoes we are reas- 

 onably sure that we will accomplish what 

 we are working for — a clean crop of fruit or 

 a good crop of potatoes. — M. G. Bruner,

Bogus Paris Greens 



Editor, The Canadian Horticulturist: 

 In the July issue I noticed an article by 

 Ir. R. J. Messenger, Bridgetown, N. S., 

 bn "Spraying Mixtures," in which he speaks 

 bf "the gullibility of farmers" in respect to 

 Spraying mixtures of different kinds, which 

 is all very true. While I have not tried 

 many of the new preparations, I have tried 

 some of them and found them wanting. 



Mr. Messenger seems to have much faith 

 in the Paris green, and this is what I want 

 to draw attention to. We now have to pay 

 35 and 40 cents a pound for Paris green and 

 do not get the results that we received when 

 we paid 17 or 18 cents a pound. We have
