THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST

Notes 



The "Youthful Poppy Fancier," illustrated 

 in this issue, is the bright little son of Mr. W. C. 

 McCalla, of St. Catharines. 



The illustration on the front cover of this 

 issue of The HORTictn,TURlsT, was kindly furn- 

 ished by Mr. Maxwell Smith, D.F.I., Vancouver. 



At a recent meeting of the Ottawa branch of 

 the Out. Veg. Grs. Assn., the aspects of the civic 

 market by-law prohibiting the purchase or fore- 

 stalling of market produce before the hour of 

 8 a.m. in the summer and 9 a.m. in winter were 

 considered. It was the feeling of those present 

 that the by-law should be done away with. 



"Target Brand."— The results of different tests 

 of this Scale Destroyer by some of the largest 

 orchard companies in the United States very 

 conclusively demonstrate the facts as we ad- 

 vertise them. It has been tried alongside tBe 

 home-made and proprietary remedies of the 

 best class and, in every instance has outdone 

 the whole of them. It seems to be the most 

 deadly of all oil preparations yet produced and 

 yet does not penetrate the bark nor do the least 

 damage to either trees or buds. I have person- 

 ally seen trees where it was applied when the 

 buds had swollen considerable and not the least 

 damage resulted. Its action on scale pests is 

 slightly by penetration through their breathing 

 pores, but mainly by the formation of a film 

 which, though positively fatal to them, does 

 not in the least interfere with the functions of 

 the barks of the trees on which it may be ap- 

 plied. — ^W. H. Brand, Jordan Station.^ 



The HoRTictTLTURisT would direct attention 

 to the Syringa purpurea maculata which is now 

 offered for sale, and for the first time in Canada, 

 by Stone & Wellington, Toronto. It is a varia- 

 tion of the popular "mock orange," but, instead 

 of being a common white, it has a beautiful 

 purple centre, the base of each petal being a 

 blotch of purple, forming a ring of purple around 

 the centre of the flower, making it an exceeding- 

 ly distinct variety. This new spring-flowering 

 shrub with a touch of color, comes very accept- 

 able, as white flowering shrubs in spring are 

 becoming tiresome
