THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



IX 



Needs of tRe Fruit Growers 



Early in March a meeting of the leading 

 members of the Ont. Fruit Grs.' Assn. was held 

 in Toronto, at which important matters re- 

 lating to cooperation and transportation were 

 discussed. The cooperative committee dis- 

 cussed the best means of bringing about the 

 organization of new assns. Rules and by- 

 laws of all assns. in Canada and the U.S. will 

 be studied, so that such may be had for dis- 

 tricts of varying conditions and requirements. 

 A resolution was passed dealing with the ques- 

 tion of substitution in nursery stock, and sug- 

 gesting legislation to govern same. 



The transportation committee will endeavor 

 to obtain from the railway companies better 

 accommodation, better equipment and recip- 

 rocal demiurage. Through the efforts of Mr. 

 R. J. Graham during the last year, stop-over 

 privileges of 48 hom-s have been granted at 

 the rate of 2 cts. a cwt., or about $5 on ship- 

 ments for export. The committee purposes 

 asking for a similar concession in respect to 

 cars loaded with fruit for the international 

 trade. A resolution was passed instructing 

 the sec'y of the assn. to communicate with the 

 sees, of the Montreal Bd. of Trade, of the 

 Manufacturers' Assn., of the Man. and Sask. 

 Fruit Grs.' Assns., and of the Alta. Farmers' 

 Assn., with a view to securing combined ac- 

 tion before the railway commission regarding 

 the question of reciprocal demurrage. 



Lack of Space prevents our giving a report 

 in this issue of the discussions- at the meeting 

 of fruit growers held in St. Catharines, Ont., 

 in March. The subject of the San Jose Scale 

 and the best methods of combatting it, were 

 discussed by Dr. Jas. Fletcher, of Ottawa, and 

 Prof. H. A. Surface, of Harrisburg, Pa. The 

 importance of spraying, to hold the pest in 

 check.was emphasized, and the lime-sulphur wash 

 was recommended as the best spray mixture. 



Advertising Notes 



We have just received a copy of this spring's 

 descriptive catalog of the well-known firm, 

 Stone & Wellington, which is, practically, an 

 encyclopaedia of all varieties of merit in the 

 fruit and horticultural world. The pubUca- 

 tion is well printed, with handsome embossed 

 cover, and profusely illustrated with half-tone 

 engravings, showing scenes in their extensive 

 nurseries at Fonthill. Attention has been 

 given to certain lines, such as new and choice 

 varieties of perennials and border plants, new 

 Hybrid roses, rare Coniferree, deciduous trees 

 and shrubs, while their fruit list contains many 

 new varieties of commercial merit. 



The Deming Co. of Salem, Ohio, advertise 

 their spray pumps in this issue of The Cana- 

 dian Horticulturist for the first time. This 

 Co. is one of the best known and most reliable 

 in the U.S. Its machines have merits that 

 Canadian growers should acquaint themselves 

 with. The Co. furnishes interesting illustrated 

 printed material free on request. Their little 

 booklets are worth writing for. 



Bugs and Blights is the title of a booklet 

 being distributed by Hammond's Slug Shot 

 Works, Fishkill-on-Hudson, N.Y., which fruit, 

 flower and vegetable growers should be in- 

 terested in. A postcard to the Co. will secure 

 you one free of cost. 



For the past 5 yrs. or more, we have pub- 

 lished the up-to-date SPRAMOTOR ads. ap- 

 pearing in this horticultural medium, and we 

 note with pleasure the rapid strides towards 

 the building of a mammoth manufacturing 

 concern, which could be accomplished in no 

 other way than by modern excellency of prod- 

 duct and honest, straightforward dealing with 

 the consumer. Enterprise such as the SPRA- 

 MOTOR CO. is showing is to be commended.
