Paint Without Oil 



Remarkable Discovery That Cots Down the Cost oi 

 Paint Seventy-Five Per Cent. 



A Free Trial Package is Mailed to Everyone 

 Who Writes. 



A L. Jli<^, a prominent manufacturer of 

 Adams. N. Y., has discovered a process of 

 making a new kind of paint witlioiit the use 

 of oil. He calls it Powdrpaint. It comes in the 

 form of a dry powder and all that is required 

 is cold water to make a paint weather proof, 

 flro proof and as durable as oil paint. It 

 adheres to any surface, wood, stone or brick, 

 spreads and looks like oil paint and costs 

 about one-fourth as much. 



Write to Mr. A. L. Rice, Mauuf'r., 441 North 

 St., Adams, N. Y., and he will send you a free 

 trial package, also color card and full in- 

 formation showing you how you can eave a 

 good many dollars. Write to-day.

be held as usual this year at the Guelph 

 .Vgricultural College. The dates this year 

 will be as follow: Short course in fruit 

 y rowing, January 26th to February 6th ; 

 tirst course in apple packing-, February 1st 

 to 6th ; second course, February 8th to 13th, 



'I his is peculiarly a time when many who 

 are engaged in fruit growing and many 

 who intend to become so, are desirous of 

 instruction. If it were necessary to urge 

 upon readers of The Canadian Horticulturist 

 the worth of these courses, we could fur- 

 nish abundant testimonials from those who 

 have attended previous classes as to their 

 very great value. Mr. F. M. Clement, for- 

 merly of Macdonald College, and now Di- 

 rector of the Ontario Horticultural Experi- 

 ment Station at Jordan Harbor, will assist 

 the writ'Cr in the lecture work of the fruit 

 growing course. 



I would like to have readers of The Can- 

 adian Horticulturist note that the packing 

 schools are largely separate from the lec- 

 ture course in fruit growing. The packing 

 work consists of actual practice at both 

 box and barrel packing, if desired, always 

 under the supervision and instruction of ex- 

 perts. Mr. W. F. Kydd and Mr. Leslie 

 Smith of the Fruit Branch will have this 

 work in charge this year as formerly. 



The Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion will hold their annual meeting at Mid- 

 dleton on Januarv 20th, 21st, and 22nd, 

 1915. Prof. F. C. Sears, of Amherst, Mass., 

 is expected to address the association on 

 the "Future of the Apple Market." Other 

 subjects for discussion are: "Orchard 

 Heating," "Pre-cooling of Fall Fruit," 

 "Spraying," and "Fertilization."
