Save Your Best 



Flow^cr Seeds 



We have not raised our prices 

 because we bought this year's 

 seeds before the war — next year 

 they may be scarce. That's why 

 we advise horticulturists to 

 save the seeds of the coming 

 summer's flowers. 



But you must commence right 

 if you would have something 

 worth saving, and commencing 

 right is having the right seeds. 

 Darch & Hunter Seeds are 

 known throughout Canada — 

 they have been for many, many 

 years — as the most reliable of 

 all. Our combined Catalogue 

 of Flower and Vegetable Seeds 

 is ready now, and is yours for

As a cold storage plant, great savings 

 were made during the whole season. In 

 one case during the raspberry season when 

 the canning factories were unable to re- 

 ceive berries that had to be handled at omce, 

 as much as 4J4 cars of fruit was brought 

 to the plant, placed in a low temperature 

 for two or three days until the factories 

 were again in shape, and thus avoided a 

 certain loss of over 13,000.00. In another 

 instance a shipper, who was exporting 

 Bartlett pears to Glasgow, was unable to 

 get his refrigerator space on the ship ow- 

 ing to the requirements of war shipmefnts. 

 The pears were held for three weeks in 

 perfect condition and the shipment made 

 on a later boat. 



An interesting experiment was tried in 

 handling Red Astrachan apples. These 

 apples usually go out at a fairly low price, 

 but between their seasom and that of the
