classes for roses, -five for dahlias
and four for gladioli. There

This year, our president, Mrs.
S. C. Argyle, has instituted
classes for separate and public
school pupils in grades 6, 7 and
8, who have grown seeds dis-
tributed by the society in -the
spring. Zinnias, cosmos and
calenaulas have a class each;
with two classes, one for cos-
niosi 4rretigements and one for
zinnias and calendulas. • Any
.non-member wishing toexhibit
may do so by taking °tit a mem-
bership when presenting their
exhibits at 9 a.m. Crass lists
may be obtained from the Snow
Committee at 247 Eigie avenue
west.
Last year this show attracted
327 exhibits from 68 members.
Whilst this was very creditable,
it is'hoped te improve on these
figures next Saturday. Support
your society and exhibit sortie
flower. Visitors.- to the show
can be assur@d of a colorful
display and we look for their
- encouragement.
Society Project
Early thiS year the society's
executive decided to make one
• of their 1962 projects the beau-
tification of the plot at the
God,erich end of the new bridge,
lying betweenCiledOnia Ter-
race and the North -Pier road-.
The idea received the blessing
of the Councilearly in the
year. Efforts were made to ob-
tain a survey Of the.area' which
falls from the Caledonia Ter-
race exit on to Highway 21 to-
wards the bridge. As this was
not forthcoming the _society
undertook its own survey and
subsequently presented its Pro
pose's to the Parks Committee.
The actual area to beplanted
forms an acute equilateral tri-
angle, rather like a piece of
Pine River chPese, with the
base at the elevated end. The
result will be that anything
planted upon it will be pre-
sented to firemen approaching
Goderich from the north in the
form of a wedge., It will there-
fore display its full area to
oncoming eyes.
Care"has' been taken to site
the planting area so as not to
block the view of traffic exiting
from either Caledonia or the
North Road to Highway 21 for
this junction can support no
further complexities. The plant-
ing area, described above, hay-
' hig_been_approyed by the Parks
Committee, ,the planting pre-
posals were submitted $o the
society and are now about to
be sent to the Connell for rati.
fitation. The idea is to- accent
the fall of the ground and to
grade the trees from south to
north. To this end three Nor-
way spruce will form the base
ef.the triangle. In front of these
will be, in triangular formation,
three slower growing and there-
fore g lower, blue grey Kost r
spruce. The remainder of the
triangle is propased to be fill-
ed:With ,ten shrub roses of the
Rosa Hugonis variety, which,
in late May, Will be a mass of
yellow bloom and thereafter
Will present a further contrast
in green shades with their light
' lacy I °liege rising to some eight
feet and equally bushy. So,
from base to apex of the plot
we shall have the dark green of
the spruce, the blue grey of' the
Kosters and the light green of
the shrub roses.
Admittedly the full effect of
this plan will not be observed
for a few years because the
size of spruce which can be suc-
cessfully planted is limited.
However, in the -fullness of
time, it should offer a most im-
pressive facade to those ,ap
proaching up the hill from Salt -
ford. The society is very grati-
fied to be able to make this
small contribution to the fur-
ther beautification of our town.
