 Mention Canadian Horticulturist when writing 



or ii.se some effective preventive measures. 

 Once the spore has germinated and the disease 

 entered the leaf it is not possible to reach the 

 mycelium by spraying, hence it is necessary to 

 spray early enough to kill the sjxires tiefore they 

 germinate. Spraying should be begun towards 

 the end of June and the plants kept covered with 

 Bordeaux mixture until the end of the season. 

 If the disease apfiears before spraying has 

 been done, spray as soon as possible. As the 

 leaves of the onion are smooth it is necessary to 

 put the mixture on in as fine a spray as jiossible, 

 so that it will adhere well. 



Niagara District ExHibition 



There is plenty of courage and enter])rise 

 among the horticultural enthusiasts of St. Cath- 

 arines and the Niagara District, Last year, the 

 Ontario Government gave a grant of $500 to assist 

 the holding of a horticultural exhibition at St. 

 Catharines. The exhibition was held and proved 

 a financial success. This year Hon. Mr. Monteith 

 cut off the grant to the St. Catharines exhibition. 

 It is understood that his reason for doing so was 

 because the Government increased the grant to 

 the Ontario Horticultural Exhibition at Toronto. 

 In spite of this setback, St. Catharines has made 

 arrangements for the holding of a large show on 

 Septemljer 17, 18 and 19. Grants amounting 

 to about $800 have been secured from the city, 

 county and township councils, including one of 

 $200 from the St. Catharines Horticultural 

 Society. 



This year, third prizes will be added in almost 

 every section. The total value of prizes will 

 be increased from $1,100 to $1,200. The 

 exhibition will last three days instead of two 

 as last vear. The prizes for fruits will amount 

 to aboi'it $4.50; flowers, $260, and vegetables, 

 $150, not including 1x:tween $300 and $400 in 

 special prizes. A full orchestra from the 19th 

 Regiment has been secured for *very evening 

 of the exhibition. The exhibition last year was 

 a great success and included many fine exhibits. 

 It is believed that this year's exhibition will sur- 

 pass it in nearly every way. 



"Vegetable Canning Industry 



The Ontario Vegetable Growers' Association 

 purposes securing as complete information as 

 possible regarding the extent of the vegetable 

 canning industry in Ontario. Its object is to 

 find the location of all the canning factories and 

 to get in touch with leading vegetable growers 

 in the vicinity of each factory. An effort will 

 then be made to secure crop reports from the 

 various centres, so that the growers may have 

 an accurate idea of the extent and condition of 

 the crops. This is something they have greatly 

 lacked in the past. 



A committee from the association, composed of 

 Messrs. T. Delworth and H. B. Cowan, waited 

 on Mr. C. C. James, De])uty Minister of Agricul- 

 ture, recently, and consulted with him in regard 

 to the matter. It seems that the Ontario De- 

 partment of Agriculture has gathered a vast 

 amount of information relative to the canning 

 factories of the ])rovince which it purposes pub- 

 lishing in bulletin form, in the near future. 

 It is probable, therefore, that the Ontario A'ege- 

 table Growers' Association will defer action 

 until this bulletin is in circulation. The bulletin 

 will give the names of the factories, with a list 

 of their owners and of the principal varieties 

 of vegetables and fruit packed in each faclory. 



Horticulturists who have use for hose will 

 read with interest the advertisement of The 

 Doolittle Hose Coupler. This is a device that, 

 when attached to the tap, does away with the 

 unpleasant task of screwing on the hose. Large 

 sales have been made to J. H. Dunlop, the Dale 

 Estate and others, which should be a guarantee 

 of its merit. Read the advertisement of I. P. 

 Doolittle on another page.
