Items of Interest 



Among the hort'l societies that do much 

 towards the dissemination of knowledge in 

 amateur gardening is the one at Guelph. Bul- 

 letins are issued at frequent intervals. The 

 one for October is on "Bulb Culture," pre- 

 pared by Wm. Hunt, of the O.A.C. 



In our next issue we expect to have an illus- 

 trated article on growing mushrooms by a 

 lady who has made the business a success, 

 Mrs. E. C. Bennett, of Thornbury, Ont. She 

 has grown single mushrooms that weighed 16 

 ozs. Mrs. Bennett also grows spawn for the 

 beds. Read her advertisement in another 

 column. It is on page 290. 



Early in Oct., the Toronto branch of the 

 O.V.G.A. held its monthly meeting. Many 

 items of business were discussed, and plans were 

 laid for the future. The Nov. meeting will be 

 held on the 3rd inst., when the following sub- 

 jects will be discussed: "Forcing Radish and 

 Lettuce," "Mushroom Growing." and "The 

 Growing of Early Vegetables." In the course 

 of the Oct. meeting, Mr. Wm. Oilman, of Hum- 

 ber Bay, stated that he had used, for potato 

 beetles, mashed potatoes mixed with Paris 

 green scattered along the rows in the spring. 

 Mr. J. W. Rush stated, in his own peculiar way, 

 that he thought as good a remedy would be 

 cayenne pepper sprinkled at the base of each 

 plant so that the "bugs" would be made to 

 sneeze and break their necks.

Siire Eyts, B.\KKY CO., Iowa City. Iowa, have a cure. 



Last winter, realizing that in order to be in 

 any way successful in the growing of flowers in 

 my own home, I saw the necessity of using some 

 means other than ordinary. I got some of 

 Arnott's Plant Food. This I used according to 

 directions, and I had splendid results. By its 

 use I was enabled to keep my plants, not only 

 growing, but in fine condition for their summer's 

 work. — E. Culverhouse, Toronto.
