directed for the tuber. If well cared 

 for and well fed, these cuttings will 

 soon become large plants and yield an 

 abundant bloom.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY. 



Find enclosed one dollar, my subscip- 

 tion for this year to the Horticulturist. 

 I was near forgetting it, as I was burned 

 out lately, but I could not do without 

 your valuable monthly.

Dear Sik, — I find the Hortictdturist 

 as interesting as ever. The Society is 

 doing a work which is not sufficiently 

 appreciated by the farming community. 

 Your effort to test and disseminate in- 

 formation i-egarding hardy fruits is of 

 priceless value to this northern country. 

 I believe that in twenty years will be 

 seen fine flourishing orchards on every 

 farm. Even in this village, which at 

 the present time is almost destitute of 

 fruit, I am farming on what was once 

 an island, in the valley of the ISTottawa- 

 saga. I planted a small orchard ten 

 years ago, and have met with a fair 

 measure of success. I should be glad to 

 write my experience if I thought it 

 would be of any service to your readers, 

 but really the articles from your num- 

 erous correspondents are so practical 



and far-reaching that little is left to be 

 said by an amateur. 



Yours, &c.,

The Canadian Baldwin you sent us as 

 a premium last spring, grew nicely last 

 summer. We are very much pleased 

 with the Horticulturist, and can only 

 expness my astonishment that you can 

 aflbrd to send such valuable premiums 

 to your subscribers. Please accept my 

 best wishes for your future success.

I shall look forward to receipt of the 

 annual Report of the Fruit Growers' 

 Association of Ontario. Last year's 

 report was very interesting, as also I 

 find the Canadian Horticulturist. I 

 will endeavour to send you a new sub- 

 scriber or two. You certainly give 

 good value for subscription, and should 

 be well supported.

I have been much pleased with the 

 magazine, Canadian Horticulturist, and 

 have derived many hints from it that 

 have been worth far more than the cost 

 of the periodical.

I think that the best dollar I ever 

 expended was when I subscribed for the 

 Cayiadian Horticulturist. It contains 

 a greal deal of information to all lovers 

 of fruit and flowers. I hope it may 

 long succeed. 



Yours very truly, 



S. J. Smith.
