THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



Hamilton Plows 



The Line for Eastern Canada 



' I ""HE Deering local agent can sell you a Hamil- 

 -*■ ton plow. So when you need a plow for 

 turning sod, or clay, or loam, or rocky soil, go to the 

 Deering agent. He handles a full line. 



Note the long, well braced handles of the Hamilton walking 

 plows, and the strong beam construction. Note also how 

 straight the beams are, giving a direct pull from the clevis to the 

 bottom. Look particularly at the Hamilton clevis, which gives 

 an adjustment of practically half a hole. Under conditions 

 Where very careful plowing' must be done, this feature is of 

 great value. 



The two Hamilton walking gang plows, Nos. 46 and 47, 

 recommend themselves to all Eastern farmers whose conditions 

 demand such a plow. They have such a wide range of adjust- 

 ments for depth and width of cut; can be used with so many 

 different sizes and styles of bottom, and have a clevis of such 

 remarkable utility, that they almost deserve the title of "Univer- 

 sal plow." 



Let no consideration tempt you to buy a plow until you 

 have seen the Hamilton line at the Deering local agent's place of 

 business. You'll never regret the time you spend studying 

 Hamilton plow features. A jjost card to the branch house will 

 bring you full information. •

British Columbia 



Orders have beea received through Mr. H. 

 G. White, British Columbia's trade commis- 

 sioner to Jamaica and South America, tor 

 some hundreds of cases of different varie- 

 ties o£ iBritish Columbia apples and pears. 

 These are to be sent to Buenos Ayres. It is 

 understood that shipments may also be 

 sent to Rio de Janeiro. 



iShipments of potatoes, it is expected, will 

 be forwarded ,in October to various points m 

 South America. Considerable shipments 

 have already been made to Australia and 

 the Fiji Islands. Government officials are 

 inspecting these potatoes and are certifying 

 them to be free from disease. 



Crop estimates, prepared about the first of 

 August, made the following estimates for 

 fruit this year: 



1914. 1915. 



Boxes. Boxes. 



Apples 684,840 613,000 



Pears 28,800 35,000 



Crates. Crates. 



Plums and prunes 200,300 200,000 



Peaches 113,300 115,000 



Apricots 41,000 50,000 



Cherries 33,400 35,000 



As a result of the efforts of Goverament 

 officials the C.P.R. this year has instructed 

 its station agents to sidetrack any cars of 

 British Columbia fruit that are noticed to be 

 in an unclean or unsanitary condition. The 

 company will use the new improved slatted 

 box cars to a considerable extent in the 

 handling of the fruit crop. 



The provincial government, under the pro- 

 visious of the new Agricultural Act, whicn 

 will come .into force shortly, may declare a 

 quarantine against Washington and Cali- 

 fornian fruit, as shipments of apples and 

 pears from these states have been found to 

 be affected by codling moth and San Jose 

 scale. ISO much fruit has been condemned 

 from these provinces it .is believed that 

 these diseases must be spreading in these 

 states. 



Canadian Horticultural Association 



The eighteenth annual convention of the 

 Canadian Horticultural Association was held 

 In London, Ont., August 3 to 5. The associa- 

 tion is representative of the professional 

 florists and gardeners of Canada. The re- 

 ports presented showed that, in spite of the 

 war, trade conditions had been satisfactory. 

 The association has a larger membership 

 than ever before and a substantial cash bal- 

 ance. 



Addresses were given as follows: "Fertil- 

 .Izers," by iProf. R. Harcourt, Guelph; "The 

 Cost of Producing Florist Stock," A. O. C. 

 O'Brien, Toronto; "The Florist as a Busi- 

 ness Man," E. J. Hayward, Montreal; "Irrl- 

 sation Principles and Methods," Prof. T. G.

 Toronto; "Orchids," W. J. Jones, Brampton, 

 Ont. 



Mr. H. J. Moore, of Queen Victoria Park, 

 Niagara Falls, reported that the commis- 

 sioners of the park were willing to assist 

 the association, in co-operation with other 

 .'iimllar organizations, in the establishment 

 of a national plant register, and would allow 

 a portion of the park grounds to be used for 

 testing purposes. The offer was accepted, a 

 committee appointed to take further action, 

 and funds voted to promote the work. Mr. 

 F. E. Buck, of the Central Experimental 

 Farm, Ottawa, presented an Interesting re-
