Hooper started in a Small way in .the parceasang of eggs and secured a market demaaing strictly new - laid eggs. During this time it was with difficulty that he secured the 'best 'markets for this class of eggs, First he had to convince the buyers Ln the cities that the eggs were stric- tly new -laid and that they could de- pend oii every shipment being as represented. In order to do this Mr. Hooper had to exercise the utmost care in, buying and candling the eggs, and to do this he had to secure the co-operation of poultryman and far- mers, paying considerably more for new -laid eggs than for those over a week old. To this end he had circu- lars printed and distributed giving directions in the care of gathering and handling of eggs, so that they could be marketed in the best pos- sible condition. He has now reach- ed the zenith of his ambition, secur- ing as a "trade mark" a picture of a basket filled with eggs .and on the side of the basket the words - "Special" Hooper's New -Laid eggs, and is having this certificate of reg- istration framed to hang in his office, where it may be seea by his mallY patrons. The following extracts tak- en from letters testify as to the sat- isfactory condition of eggs when re- ceived:- N. Liverpool. Eng. 109 Albert Rd. C. F. Hooper, Esq. Dear Sir:- The eggs were of a very flee quality. and I wish that all eggs were the same, and it would be a pleasure selling them. A. Booth, Manager for J. G. Gundy & Co. Grocers. Ottawa Mr. C. P. Hooper Dear Sir: I have great pleasure in saying, that you are the only shipper of Strictly New -laid eggs, that we have come in contact with, during our, many years of business in this city since tee year 1881, that we could absolutely depend upon the stock being as represented at all tinaes.

POLLINATION What to Do With "Seif Ferti e" and ‘3elf Sterile! Varieties. All Peaches May Be Planted In- Illocks--Not So With Some Cher- ries, Plums. Apples and Pears -- A New Strawberry Disease linewa as Leaf Scorch or Mollisiose. rontribbted by Ontario DeprArtment 01 Agriculture, Toronto.) Many of our commonly grown 'varieties of fruits are "self -sterile," that is their blossoms wiii'not develop into fruits when pollinated with their own pollen, but require pollen from another variety. The grower who is planning to set out new orchard's. should carefully study the question of self -sterility and .plant accordingly. Peaches- May Be Planted In Blocks. ' Peaches do not need cross-pollin- ation, and can he planted in solid blocks of one variety with assurance of full crops. They are "solf-fertile." Almost all of our other tree fruits, however, are either completely "self - sterile" or partially so. Partially self - sterile varieties may' give fair crops In seasoas wben bloom nas mien heavy and weather conditions favor- able during blooraing. A set of throe or four per .cent. of the blossoms in a beavy bloom svill give a crop. it is in seasonsof light bloom or of unfavorable "setting" weather that "cross-pollination" is so essential, Bartlett Pears Are Partle Self.Sterile.„ A given variety of fruit may vary in fertility vitt. climatic conditions or other modifying factors. in Cali- fornia, the Bartlett pear is partially self -sterile in the coast valls and Is greatly benefited 1,viren otricr va.rie- 4ies are interplanled. Higher up in the foothills of California the Bart- lett is sufficiently self -fertile to give good crops even when planted in sand blocks. In Ontario the Bartlett is practically self -sterile, and must haveother varieties planted with a to insure good crops. Sour Cherries Self -Fertile; Sweet, Self -Sterile. Sour cberries are self -fertile, and can be planted in solid blocks of one variety. Sweet cher ries on the other hand are all self -sterile, and in some cases, as in the varieties Bing, Lam- bert and Napoleon, are also "inter- stesile"; that is the pollen of Napo- leon for example will not fertilize either Bing or 'Lambert. Black Tarterian is one of the best varieties to plant for pollination purposes. elost varieties of plums are also self - sterile. Apples vary in fertility, but there are few varieties which do not materially benefit from interplanting of varieties so as to secure cross- pollinatiop. What varieties of each fruit should be planted together for cross-pollin- ation purposes? The problem is largely One of blooming date. The Experimental Station will be pleased to advise each grower as to his own particular pollination problem. - E. F. Palmer, Hort, Exp. Station, Vineland Station, A NEW STRAWBERRY DISEASE. Leaf Scorch or Mollisiose Described and Treatment For it Suggested. Until recently the leaf spot of strawberry has been considered to, be the most serious leaf disease of die cultivated strawberry. During the past tnree or tour years a leaf disease has been observed in straw- • berry plantations, and which seems to be generally distributed through the southern and eastern.parts of the - Province. , This disease from its ap- pearance can be appropriately called "leaf scorch." Considering the fun- gt.s responsible for the disease, it • can be designated Lsmollislose." Dr. It. E. Stone, of the Department of Botany, Ontario Agricultural College, thus describes the disease and treat- ment: Symptoms of the Disease. . In the. spring, May and June, the strawberry leaves become covered with sinall, irregular, purplish spots. The spots enlarge and coalesce until the whole leaf may become involved. When the spots have become quite large they turn ashy brown or dirty grey in the center and then small fruiting specks or acervulae appear. In these ticervulae hyaline, two -celled spores appear. These spores serve to spread the disease.to other leaves and -plants. Later, in July and August, the entiee leaves dry up and the dis- eaged plants take on a scorched appearance as though burned over *with fire. It is not dilemma:ton to see whole beds present this appearaece • and it becomes dielcult to distinguish the plants suffering frola leaf scot* from those severely lajured by arouth and White grub injury. . Varieties Susceptible to the Diseaee. Not all varieties are equally sus- ceptible to the disease. The most susceptible seems to be Clyde follow- ed by Glen Mary, Haverland, Senator Dunlop, New Williams in the order .given here. Control. Control measures have not been warked out. From field observations the following procedure would seem to be desirable: Clean cultivation. • Removal and .destruction of all dead leaves in [spring. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture. , In setting out raspberries, black- berries, dewberries; and strawberries, young plants whiehegrew the preeed- ihg season are generally used, except when they are planted 'in the au- tumn. Inthat case, plants of the current scan's growth are used.. , .
