Mr. F. L Dery, D.F.I, at Montreal, reports 

 the sale of over 2,000 bhls. of ajiples on Sept. 

 14, for tloniestic use in Montreal, 



Mr. W. T. Ross, of Picton, Ont., bad sweet 

 potatoes for breakfast one morning recently. 

 They were grown in his own garden and be pro- 

 nounces them of good quality. Mr. Ross, an 

 enthusiastic amateur gardener, usually brings 

 to [)erfection anything that he undertakes. 



About the middle of Stpteniber, The Horti- 

 cULTtJRisT received from Brown lirothers' 

 Nurseries a small branch of an althea on which 

 were flowers of two distinct colors. Most of 

 the flowers were white. In the midst of them 

 was one of a dark purple shade. The (Kcurrence 

 is imusual and interesting. 



The 1907 New Model Little Giant Sprayer has 

 all the improvements we think ix)ssible in a 

 capable sprayer machine for apple orchard, small 

 fruit, grape vine and i)each work. It has an 

 auxiliary air pump attachment which continu- 

 ally keeps the pressure so that in spraying large 

 apple trees, the corners of 4 large trees may be 

 sprayed while t he vehicle is stationary. Another 



improvement is an automatic agitator which 

 o[)crates sinuiltaneously with the walking beam 

 of the pump. .\s this beam goes up and down, 

 the liquid in the lank is continually being agitat- 

 ed, thus keeping it thoroughly stirred and prop- 

 erly mixed. The Little Giant Sprayer Mfg. 

 Co. have also a new design in nozzles, which 

 answers the pur|xise in every way for all tree 

 work. The hose they will use on the machine is 

 .5-ply pneumatic steel rubber tubing, guaranteed 



not to burst or leak. At the Toronto Exhibition 

 they had wonderful success with their new 

 machine, having taken orders for 30. They 

 expect also to display this machine at the 

 Ontario Hort. Exhibition and Honey Show in 

 Toronto, Nov. 6-10.
