consumption was becoming- greater. As 

 an antidote for over-production, he cited 

 the necessity of first grafting or planting 

 better flavored varieties. A man will eat 

 two or more good apples where he would 

 only cat one poor one. Second, a better 

 package; third, better grading: fourth, 

 better distribution to avoid the danger of 

 glutting markets ; fifth, the marketing of 

 better stuff in the local markets ; sixth, 

 giving more attention to by-products, such 

 as the makinir of boiled cid er, apple syrup, 



Spraying the Orchard 



Many fruit growers on average sized 

 farms find it difficult to get a spraying ma- 

 chine suitable for their purpose. The large, 

 heavy power machine is too large and costly 

 and besides it is difficult to use in the sog- 

 gy ground in the spring. The most satis- 

 factory all purpose machine is a medium 

 priced, light, yet strongly built one that 

 will give every satisfaction in use. 



One of the most popular sprayers on the 

 market is the Junior I.X.L. Power sprayer, 

 which meets just these requirememts. Al- 

 though only introduced in Canada during 

 the last two years it has already demon- 

 strated its superior qualities and a large 

 number have already been sold. 



The whole machine is constructed very 

 simply. It can be used on a wagon truck or 

 sled and is easily handled by two men. 



The most interesting feature is the un- 

 loading valve. It is very simple, consist- 

 ing of only four parts. It is positive in its 

 action and relieves the motor of about 90 

 per cent, of the load when the spray noz- 

 zles are closed- 



This sprayer is sold only by the Canadian 

 Sprayer Co. of Trenton, Ont., who will be 

 glad to forward full information upon re-

BRUCE'S SEEDS For 



1915 



Established 1850 



I.,ike the Highland Regiments of the British 

 Arniy. of whose glorious record we are so 

 proxid. Brnce's Seeds have established a 

 record "SECOND TO NONE". The name 

 Bruce in connection with Seeds sets the 

 i^tandard for qnality. l-'or 65 years we have 

 served the Canadian Farmer, Gardener, and 

 Amateur so well, that from a small begin- 

 ning this business has grown to large pro- 

 portions, doing business from const to coast, 

 and outside Canada. 



Our success is owing to our thorough know- 

 ledge of the business and the requirements 

 of this country, attained through our long 

 experience, and to the extreme care exer- 

 cised in every department; to the excellence 

 of our stocks, which are unequalled in qnality, 

 and our high-class growers who have been 

 in the business for generations; also to our 

 thorough testing for germination, ourcareful 

 system of packing and our prompt attention 

 to orders. In seeds more than anythingit pays 

 to buy the best; do not buy Seeds you know 

 nothing about; cheap Seecis are dear, if you 

 obtain them for nothing. 



Our 113 page Catalogue of Seeds. Plants. Bulbs. 

 Poultry Supplies and Garden Implements, 

 full of valuable information, is now ready 

 and will be mailed free to all applicants.
