The Big Money Leak 



Thousands of dollars are lost each year by Horticulturists through stinted production — 

 stinted production caused by inadequate and poor water systems. 



An inferior water system is a perpetual loss, and if you have 

 one you would save hundreds of dollars in the long run by throw- 

 ing it out at once and inistalling a Peeriess. 



Peerless 



Water Systems 



are simple, reliable, economical and do away with an expensive 

 elevated tank with its many disadvantages. A reservoir tank, in 

 the cellar or outhouse, or buried underground, holds the water 

 pumped from the source of supply. The water in the reservoir 

 is forced through the pipes by air pressure, thus insuring a 

 steady and consistent supply of pure water in whatever parts 

 of the house, greenhouses, barns and gardens you wish IL 



Hundreds of these systems in operation to-day bear out our 



contention that for a reliable and adequate water supply at low 



■* cost Peerless Water Systems have no equal. In case of 



fire they are a protection worth many times their cost. 



Write us for full particulars and any special Informa- 

 tion your require. We assure you of a courteous and 

 valuable reply.

Ginseng Growers Meet 



Tihe annual meeting of the Ontario Gin- 

 seng Growers' Assoda^on was held in To- 

 ronto, Se>ptember 10th. While tie meeUii« 

 was not largely attended those who were 

 there benefited by it. 



Mr. Forbes, of Lanark, exhibited some 

 fine specimens of both ginseng and Golden 

 Seal and gave a practical talk on his me- 

 thods of growing these roots, as well SiS of 

 hils success In ddsposing of them at a good 

 price to a Chinaman in his home town. He 

 strongly advocated the standardizing of the 

 roots, and also having a central depot es- 

 tablished where roots could be sent and 

 sold, and where the best price could be ot>- 

 tallied. The matter of shipping direct to 

 China will be left over until war conditions 

 are more favorable. Last year's ofUcers 

 were all re-elected. — P. Wilson, Secretary.

New Brunswick 



J. Bebbington, Fredericton 



Potatoes are splendid here and scarcely 

 any disease. They were sold on the mar- 

 ket here early in September at $1.50 to 

 $1.75 per -barrel. My son happened to be in 

 Oulton, Maine, recently, -where there was 

 such a glut that they were selling at 25c a 

 barrel. They make a specialty, it appears, 

 in that district of raising potatoes for ex- 

 port. They expected there would be thou- 

 sands of barrels wanted for war purposes, 

 but are disappointed, and thus some of the 

 farmers are ruined, so tbey say. The Sec- 

 retary for Agriculture, Mr. Duggett, has ad- 

 vised the farmers of New Brunswick for a 

 year or so not to pin their faitih to potatoes 

 too much. They are an uncertain crop, as 

 the State of Maine ha« found to its sorrow. 



Cucumll>ers were imported here until Au- 

 gust. When the New Brunswick crop came 

 on they were so plentiful people did not 

 want -many. A grocer said a month ago, "I 

 can sell cucuml>ers at 10c each, but when I 

 ask 2c. no one wants them. I procured a 

 case at 90c. per dozen in July and then they 

 paid me well. They are not selling at 2c. 

 each retail." 



Tomatoes only ripened after August 1st, 

 and then in small quantities. T^ey retailed 

 about ithe first week in September at 5c. to 

 8c. per lb. Beets and carrots sold for 5c 

 a bunch, and turnips 75c. a barrel, which 

 was a good price and paid well. Celery has 

 done very well. The rather wet season 

 suited it. A limited quantity was used this 

 season for the table, also for pickles. 

 Golden bush wax beans have been poor this 

 year owing to rust caused by too much wet 

 weather. It is a good thing here not to have 

 too many eggs in one basket
