THE HORTICULTURIST'S RULE BOOK 



By L. H. Bailey 



A compendium of useful information for fruit 

 growers, truck gardeners, florists and others. The 

 chapterson insecticides and fungicides, plant diseases, 

 seed tables and planting tables, cements, glues, etc., 

 will all be found exceedingly valuable to every intelli- 

 gent horticulturist. 



The regular price ot the above book is ascents, but 

 we will send it free to any of our readers who will 

 send us three new subscriptions to The Canadian 

 HoRTICULTURLST. Address

sirocco fans, thus giving exporters a choice of 

 whatever stowage is required for the particular 

 coniiiiodity being cxijorlcd. 



Not (mly has the company been keeping pace 

 with the necessary ship improvements, but by 

 interesting warehousemen and others, has suc- 

 ceeded in the establishment of modern cold 

 storages at the steamers' docks in Liverpool and 

 Lond(m, .so that now those who invest largely in 

 perishable commodities, feel secure when en- 

 trusting this property to the Allan vSteamship 

 Company. To those who have been fortunate 

 enough to visit the new cold storage warehouse 

 at .Surrey Commercial Dock, London, Eng., it is 

 unnecessary to expatiate, but for the lienefit of 

 those who have not had an opportunity to see 

 this warehouse, be it said that competent judges 

 have pronounced it one of the best equipped in 

 Europe. This last year has also seen the com- 

 pletion of the Imperial Cold Stores at Canada 

 Dock, Liverpool, where similar arrangements to 

 those prevailing at London are in existence. 



Wlien the railway refrigerator service, by 

 which traffic is safely and quickly transported 

 to the seaboard, is taken in conjunction with 

 steaiti.ship arrangements both on sea and land, 

 one feels quite safe in recommending the St. 

 Lawrence rotite to all classes of shippers. 



The apple season being almost at hand, a 

 word to the exporters of this commodity seems 

 opportune. It is most advisable that apple 

 exporters give shipments a reasonable time to 

 make connection with the ship. The commerce 

 of this country has increased to such an extent 

 as to make it almost impossible for the railroads 

 to keep up with it, and it is only fair to them 

 that the shipping public should render every 

 possible assistance to the transportation com- 

 panies, and, in the matter of exports, this can 

 best be done by shipping in ample time to enable 

 the railway company to deliver the property to 

 the ship. 



Apples are handled most carefully at the 

 steamship shed; mattresses are used to break 

 the fall of the barrels when being unloaded from 

 the drays; the ship's slings are carefuUv utilized 

 in lowering the barrels down into the "hold. A 

 feature introduced by the Allan Line last year 

 has proved eminently successful and that is the 

 building of "trunk-ways" in the holds of the 

 ship, thus ensuring a current of air throughout, 

 and making the use of the sirocco fans much 

 more beneficial than if the holds were closely 

 packed with apples. 



The discharging of ships is a most important 

 operation, especially when unloading apples. 

 This is most carefully watched so that damages 

 are reduced to a minimum. 



The services of the Allan Line have been very 

 much improved for the season of 1907. The 

 new S.S. "Corsican" rounds out a Liverpool 

 service w^hich cannot be surpassed on the St. 

 Lawrence route. The steamers are "Virginian " 

 12,000 tons; "Victorian," 12,000 tons; "Corsi- 

 can,'^ 11,000 tons; "Tunisian," 10,,576 tons; 

 two 7-dyy and two 8-day vessels. 



The advent of the "Corsican" makes it pos- 

 sible to place the twin-screw S.S. "Ionian," 

 9,000 tons, in the Glasgow service, and when tlie 

 new twin-screw S.S. "Grampian" is placed in 

 commission, September 21, the Glasgow ser- 

 vice will be furnished by the "Ionian," "Gram- 

 pian," "Pretorian," "Corinthian" and ".Sicil- 

 ian." 



The favorite S.S. "Parisian" has been added 

 to the London service, so that all three ports 

 will be served with the liest fleet the Allan Line 

 has yet given to its patrons. 



I do not see the advantage of an inspection 

 station at Revelstoke. All fruit trees from the 

 south are inspected at the coast. I find that 

 all nursery stock from the east is free from 

 disease. — A. Clemes, Spence's Bridge, B.C. 



I have received a few copies of The Cana- 

 dian Horticulturist, and think it is just the 

 thing for fruit and fiower growers. — A. E.

 tinually present themselves to the teacher of hor-
