jiQirutx’hxnuJx convention
The 26th funiual convention ct the
Ontario Horticultural Association
"was held in the King Edward Hotel
Toronto on Thursday and Friday of
last week and the Exeter society was
represented by J. M. Southcott, ac-
eonwanied hy Mrs. iSouthcott and
Miss V. Essery. Th® convention was
one of the largest and one of the
jnost enthusiastic that has yet been
held, it is suggested that one of
the finest antidotes for present con
ditions is to turn to the beautifica
tion of homes and gardens and to
the making of Canada a place of
beauty. The Ontario Horticultural
Society now numbers 300 soeietiea
with a membership of 80,000, the
largest organization of its kind in
the world. Onepiof the items which
caused consideraWe/'discussion was
the reduction of the government
grant from $40,000 to $20,000. Em
phasis were placed upon the splen
did work that is being done to beau
tify our province by flower and
nature lovers thereby attracting the
tourist traffic and a strong pres
sure was brought to bear upon the
government and a promise was re
ceived to leave the grant as it was.
The Society also regretted loosing
the services of their lecturer Mr.
John F. Clarke who during the past
year had delivered 211 lectures em
phasizing the gospel of a “Moro
Beautiful Ontario.” Mr. Clarke is
being transferred to the educational
department. On Friday afternoon
the convention was honored by a
visit by His Excellency, the Govern
or-General, Earl of Bessborough who
stated that one of the things he re
gretted most in leaving his home in
England was leaving his garden
hut that he looked forward with in
terest to the monthly report from
his gardener. There was a number
of interesting and outstanding
speakers who touched on such sup-
jects as “A More Beautiful Canada,”
“National Parks,” “Perennials,”
“Things You Would Like to Know,”
etc. The addresses were frequently
illustrated. A banquet was held on
Thursday evening in the King Ed
ward Hotel attended by about 500
people when addresses were given
by Mayor Bezeau, of Kitchener, and
Chas. M. Newcombe of Akron, Ohio.
Mr. William Hartry, of Seaforth, was
again elected director for Huron,
Bruce and Grey. A number of so
cieties 'from this district are in a
very flourishing .condition. The dis
trict convention will be held this
year at Wingham.
Mr. and Mrs. F. Gollings, of Far
quhar, Miss Hackney and Mrs. Coles
of the Fullarton Society also at
tended the convention.
