With this change in season, the Kirkton Horticultural Society held its fall meeting, "Autumn Splendour," at the Kirkton/Woodham Community Centre Oct. 2. President Rosemary Schaefer welcomed everyone and all joined in the singing of "0 Canada," with piano accompaniment by Marjorie Johns. President Schaefer announced the bus trip to take place Thurs., Dec. 6, to the "Geritol Follies." The bus will leave Kirkton at 7:45 a.m. and St. Marys at 8 a.m. The first stop will be at the Tarra Green House in Waterdown and then to Hamilton Place for the entertainment and a delicious Christmas dinner The cost of the trip is $78. For more information or to book the trip, please contact Marilyn Robinson at 519-284-6410. Director Robert Traut then introduced iris specialist Rick Mann from the St. Marys area. With a slide presentation and self-taught education, Mann provided informative instruc- tion and wonderful photos of 24 varieties of beautiful bearded iris. Many guests noted their favourite varieties, hoping to add these to next year's garden, while others were the happy recipients of irises that Mann had donated as door prizes. A review of the Children's Horticultural Education pro- gram was given by directors Cathy Barker, Cindy Bilyea and Owen O'Brien. This year, area children enjoyed preparing and planting succulents in old footwear and gourds. Sixteen competed in two classes with prizes awarded to all competitors. In the footwear class first and second place winners were Brianna Thomson and Kaylin McLeod, respectively, while the gourd class was won by Regan McLeod in first place with Kaylin McLeod earning the second place prize.

A coupl of steps lead f om the sidewalk to a traditional covered porch, large enough for a pair of chairs and some potted plants. The front door, bordered by narrow mullioned windows, also features a central window. Once inside the foyer, a triangular display area for collectibles welcomes visitors and family members alike. To the right is the coat closet; to the left is the second bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. Ahead, past stairs to the lower level, are the great room and dining area. Both these rooms will be warmed by the great room's fireplace during the cooler months, and the dining area's access to a covered deck and the sundeck beyond, perfect for year-round barbecuing, will make it a room for all seasons. The kitchen is separated from the great room/dining area by an island. A corner pantry will provide always -welcome storage space, and a U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. The master bedroom, located at the back of the house for privacy, includes an ensuite with a double basis, a shower stall and a soaker tub with a tiled surround. A large walk-in closet, with a linen closet located just outside, should be roomy enough for the most clothes -conscious couple. A door from the laundry room, which includes a closet for family gear, leads to the double garage. Exterior finishes include horizontal siding, with shakes and decorative wood detailing in the gables. Traditional pilasters with stone bases, partly mullioned windows, and painted trim complete the time-honoured look. Suitable for a lot that slopes to the back, this home measures 46 feet wide and 50 feet deep, for a total of 1,506 square feet.
