AS OTHERS SEE US. 



Joseph Cheal, the well-known English 

 nurseryman, has just returned from a 

 tour through Canada and British Colum- 

 bia, and when we had the pleasure of 

 seeing him a few <lays since, says the 

 editor of the Gardeners ' .Magazine, he 

 was certainly not looking any the worse 

 for his journey of 13,4.'il() miles. It need 

 hardly be said that so observant a trav- 

 eler as Mr. Cheal was much impressed 

 by the evidence of progress that he 

 found in various parts of Canada, and 

 he was more particularly struck by the 

 enormous extension of Winnipeg, which 

 now has an area of twenty squan; miles. 

 In his journey across the Rocky moun- 

 tains Mr. Cheal made a break when about 

 halfway across to enable him to go down 

 the Okanagan valley, and visit the fruit 

 farm initiated by Lord Aberdeen about 

 fourteen years ago. This was, Mr. Cheal 

 states, practically th<> commencement of 

 the fruit-growing industry in British Co- 

 lumbia. The estate is now managed 

 by a company, and the 13,000 acres are 

 being cleared, divided into farms, and 

 plante(l wjth fruit trees. These farms 

 are being let and sold to settlers, while

many hundred acres of fruit plantations 

 and nurseries are retained by the com- 

 pany. The older plantations of apples 

 were bearing heavy crops, and these were 

 being severely thinned. The summers 

 are dry, hence irrigation is necessary to 

 bring the fruit to perfection. Mr. Cheal 

 has a very favorable impression of Brit- 

 ish ('olumbia as a fruit-producing coun- 

 try, but aa yet the fruit-growing indus- 

 try is in its infancy.

Stock of white spruce on which the

 should by this time be at least potted, and

 weeks ago. They will now, if they had 

 been kept sufficiently shaded, be out of 

 danger of wilting. Water should be giv-
