BEAUTIFY YOUR HOMES
Tlie Council Chamber was well
filled with ladles and gentlemen on
Wednesday evening- 'last, to hear a
very interesting and instructive lec-
ture by Mr. Wm. ;blartry ofScafot•th
on "The Influence of Horticulture on
Home Life." Aft er a short introduct-
ory address in which he: brought
forth :many facts to show that if a
home wished to maintain its influence
over boys and ,girls it must have
some attractions in the way of gar-
dens, lawns, trees, shrubs and flow-
ers, for every youngperson lbves

shrubbery. His views included many
of the finest homes in both urban and
Rural Ontario.
Following' these the lecturer pre-
sented a large number of views illus-
trating practical points in planting'
trees and arranging shrubs as well as
the grouping of larger and smaller de-
corations together with, artistic effect:'
He was particularly entplitttle in re-
cointnending the various shades of
ctelphinitun for covering mighty wall
or fences, as well as furnishing'a deli-
cate color to blend with green foliage
or with other colors used in the same
garden. Among the flowering shrubs
he recommended Spirea Van Houter,
Weigeila and I-Ioneysuchle,
Of the Climbing. Roses he preferred
Dorothy Perkins (pink) and Excelsi-
or (red).
The evening was concluded by a
group of views showing' how to ex

special attention to gladioli:

loaned by the Methodist .Sunday

of Mr. 5. E. Cove rendered excellent

HOME GROWN GLADIOLI
Of all fall flowering bulbs the
Gladiolus is without doubt the: most
beautiful. For, cut flowers there is
nothing finer. Two or three dozen
bulbs will make a fine bed- or row,
and multiply year -by year. As easi-
ly grown as onion. Large flowering
bulbs, of choice verities, and select,
distinct colors, grown in Bruce Co.,
75c per 1o, or $1.5o per 25. Mixed
colors --red, cream, pink, yellow. Miss
B. McKenzie, Paisley.

$2.00 to $5.00 per doz. for the vari-
eties we are selling.
