Success Depends on Water Supply 



WHEN it is simply a matter of turning on a tai>, 

 your flowers get all the water they need, and 

 thrive accordingly. So that it really pays you 

 to stop carrying water from place to place, and install 

 a water system, which can be done at very little ex- 

 pense, and gives you all the water you need, when and 

 wherever you need it. 



Peerless 



Water Systems 



The water from your 

 source of supply is pumped 

 under air pressure into the 

 reservoir tank in the cellar 

 or outhouse, or buried un- 

 derground. The force pump 

 is operated by hand, gaso- 

 hne or electricity as suits 

 your convenience. 



No open tanks to allow 

 water contamination. Water 



on tap in your bathroom, 

 hot or cold, on tap in your 

 gardens, on tap in your 

 greenhouses — all costing 

 astonishingly little to install, 

 and practically nothing to 

 operate.

 lars and any special infor- 

 mation you may desire re- 

 garding your individual re- 

 quirements.

The Sarnia Exhibition 



A county fruit, vegetable, flower and 

 honey exhibition was held in Sarnia, Ont., 

 on October 27, 28, 29. It was the only ex- 

 hibition of its nature held in Ontario this 

 fall. In spite of adverse financial condi- 

 tions and a small fruit crop, the growers of 

 Lambton county assembled an exhibit which 

 was a credit, not alone to Lambton county, 

 but to the province. 



The chief commercial exhibit of apples 

 was put up by the Thedford Fruit Growers' 

 Association. It consisted of five hundred 

 boxes. It is doubtful if ever a finer display 

 of apples was exhibited in Ontario. The 

 Thedford Fruit Growers' Association own 

 and operate a central packing house, and 

 are establishing an excellent reputation for 

 quality fruit. This association is now mak- 

 ing arrangements for an association prun- 

 ing and grafting gang, which will insure 

 greater uniformity from the orchards of 

 the various members. 



Honey and Vegetable Displays. 



Two vegetable displays, each consisting 

 of one hundred packages, were put up by 

 the Lambton Growers' Co-operative Asso- 

 ciation and the Independent Vegetable 

 Growers' Association of Sarnia. These two 

 organizations have worked wonders in de- 

 veloping the vegetable growing industry of 

 Lambton county. Five years ago the town- 

 ship of Sarnia did not produce enough vege- 

 tables to supply its own needs. This year 

 over five hundred carloads of produce were 

 handled by these two associations. 



The beekeepers of Lambton were also 

 represented by a large display of honey, oc- 

 cupying the whole of one end of the build- 

 ing. It consisted of a huge pile of honey, 

 put up in cans, while arranged on each side 

 was a large display of honey in glasses. 



An Educational Exhibit. 



An educational exhibit, which proved a 

 centre of interest, was arranged by the 

 Lambton County Branch of the Ontario De- 

 partment of Agriculture, in charge of G. G. 

 Bramhill. A feature of this exhibit was the 

 warnings against San Jose Scale. This 

 serious insect pest is making rapid strides 

 in Lambton County, and energetic efforts 

 must be applied by Lambton County Fruit 

 Growers if their orchards are to be saved. 

 The exhibit showed a display of apples 

 from an orchard in Euphemia township, 

 which three years ago was threatened with 

 destruction by San Jose scale. The Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture took over this orchard 

 as a demonstration. To-day the orchard is 

 alive and healthy, and two hundred and 

 forty boxes of apples, worth $1.25 per box, 

 were picked from forty trees. Other speci- 

 ally interesting features of the exhibit were 

 a collection of fungus diseases and insect 

 pests injurious to farmers; up-to-date prun- 

 ing tools, poultry appliances and exhibits 

 demonstrating proper methods of pruning. 



SEED NOTES. 



Seed potatoes are going to be very scarce. 

 Ontario stock is practically nothing. New 

 Brunswick stock is advancing in price every 

 day, as there is only a fair supply. This is 

 all on account of the rot. 



Onion sets are not well matured either in 

 Canada or the United States, and will be 

 difficult to carry over. 



Clover seed, owing to prevailing condi- 

 tions, rains, etc., will be high in price next 

 season. 



Beans have been a very short crop. 



I am much pleased with The Canadian 

 Horticulturist amd find it very instruoUve.
