THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



IX 



A. HealtKy Gro-wtK 



No better evidence of the growth of The Can- 

 adian Horticulturist can be shown than the 

 comparison between the October, 1906, and 

 October, 1907, issues. In October, 1906, we cir- 

 culated 0,000 copies of The Canadian Horti- 

 culturist. This issue, November, 1907, we are 

 circulating over 10,000 copies of The Canadian 

 Horticulturist. A number of these copies are 

 being sent to our friends whom we know to be 

 interested in horticulture, but who are not.reg- 

 ular readers of The Canadian Horticulturist. 

 If you are one of these, and this copy of The Can- 

 adian Horticulturist contains matter of in- 

 terest to you, we trust that you will help support 

 Canada's only horticultural paper by subscrib- 

 ing. The subscription price was leduced one 

 year ago from SI. 00 to 50 cents a year, and 

 since then our circulation has increased by leaps 

 and bounds. 



This number is but one of twelve issues, each 

 of which we try to make better and stronger than 

 the previous issue. Here are a few of the opin- 

 ions of our readers regarding The Canadian 

 Horticulturist. They speak for themselves: 



"I believe that The Canadian Horticultur- 

 ist is the publication I have long been looking 

 for. Enclosed find two new subscriptions." — 

 E. H. Toll, Ouvry, Ont. 



"The Canadia.n Horticulturist has ad- 

 vanced wonderfully in the last two years. I 

 believe that it is the opinion of the fruit growers 

 of this province that the paper is the best fruit 

 growers' paper now published, and that there is 

 no longer any necessity of going to the United 

 States for such a publication." — P. W. Hodgctts, 

 Secretary Untario Fruit Grovvers' Association. 



"Enclosed find my subscription to The Can- 

 adian Horticulturist. I think your paper a 

 most valuable one, especially to amateur horti- 

 culturists." — W. F. Bailey, Winnijjeg, Manitoba 



The Canadian Horticulturist competes 

 favorablv now with any horticultural paper pub- 

 lished. It deals exclusively with Canadipn horli 



cultural interests. It is pubhshed in Canada by 

 Canadians, and it treats all Canadian horticul- 

 tural affairs in both a timely and practical man- 

 ner We want every fruit, tlower and vegetable 

 grower in Canada to receive it regularly. If you 

 are not already a subscriber, send in your sub- 

 scription immediately, and take advantage of 

 our special premium offer. Or, if you are a 

 subscriber, send in your own renewal, together 

 with one new subscription, and you will be en- 

 titled to a liberal premium.

Inspection at tHe Coast 



Editor, The Canadian Horticulturist: I 

 wish to answer part of your articles in the July 

 and August numbers of The Can.idian Horti- 

 culturist, re "Inspection at the Coast." It 

 is quite evident that you have been "stuffed' 

 by some party interested in the sale of outside 

 nursery stock, and it is the same "ear marks" 

 that I have had repeated to me from traveUing 

 agents, that "coast trees are sappy and soft" — 

 any old story to sell their stock. 



How is it that 458 trees out of one sale of 460 

 delivered to one Revelstoke customer, are re- 

 ported alive and thrifty, while he reports about 

 one-third dead out of an eastern shipment? 

 This is in a country where four feet of snow is a 

 common occurrence. Again, one customer at 

 Lytton planted 640, and reports all alive and 

 thrifty. I sell thousands of trees all over B.C., 

 from Athn to the prairie country, and no com- 

 plaints of their being w-inter-killcd. 



Again, you say coast trees become black- 

 hearted. I have a letter from our inspector, 

 saying that "the only black-hearted trees he 

 ever found was in eastern stock." I am quite 

 well aware that our coast nurseries are not as 

 large as the rented lands of some eastern firms, 

 as land anywhere near the cities is worth from 

 S500 to $2,000 an acre ; even Chinese gardeners 

 pay $30 to $40 an acre rental. But, we have 

 the same facilities of purchasing stock from 



that malce a horse Wheeze,
