Hortioulturnl Convention.
The following is a report of the deliber-
ations of the annual convention of the
Provincial Horticultural held in Toronto
lastweek, at which Miss Alice Gillespie
was the representative from the local so-
ciety:
The first session opened promptly at 0
a m. with a large attendance of delegates
The next item of business was the an-
pointment of committees at 0.30. This
was followed at 10 o'clock by the piesis
dent, Mr. W, Bailey's address. In which
he reviewed the work accomplished in the
past year, by the society. There are 285
societies in Ontario with several juvenile
societies, all doing•good work.
Mr, H. 3, Mo ire, one of the hortirnitur-
❑I lecturers, has been active during the
past year, having delivered one hundred
and fifty lectures and demanstrations of
which one hundred and seventeen were
addresses to horticultural societies and
thirteen to Agricultural Short Courses„
eight to Women's Institutes and twelve
to schools. Mr. Moose also judg'd a
number of garden competitions as well as
haticultutal products of several fall fairs
1114 work has been appreciated by all
concerned.
The great success of this organization
is due, apart from the enthusiasm of our
membership, to the splendid reports giv-
en in the press of Ontario, many pages
being given to our work, There is cer-
tainly something lacking in a community
that fails to carry on the uplifting and
beneficent work we have in hand. They
evidently fail to understand the effect of
our gardening propaganda on the little
hildrrn of those communities who fail to
get near to nature's God. They surely
need our sympathies and prayers.
At 10 30 the address of welcome was
given by Mayor Wenrp, atter which an
open discussion was held by the delegates,
each speaker being limited to three min-
utes. One of the matters discussed was
• The Vandalism of the Road," re the de-
struction of our native trees and flowers.
11 anything is to be accomplished we must
ail work together for the protection of our
beautiful natural landmarks. It takes
only two minutes to destroy a tree which
has required over one hundred years to
attain full growth.
The women's juvenile gardens at Brant
bird were discussed, also the woeful lack
of school gardens throughout the province

nature by cultivation may become a beau-
ty and asset to the province.

showing the need of more contact with
outside life, more skilled instruction and
more district conventions. Through the
eight districts have splendid roads and
tuagni, cent scenery, they have only receiv
ed two official visits during the past four
yeats. It is a good time to get together,
The juvenile work is centred at Chat-
ham and Stratford and creates an atmos

urs of a commnnity. Interest may be
aroused by giving a prize to the child who
writes the best essay on "Iiow He May

Foch as Iris should be planted along the
highways, There are one hundred school
clubs in Ottawa carrying on this work.
Special mention was also made of the
flower parade at Kitchener. All our roses
should be appointed to the main street. A
report of the Royal Winter Fair Vas given
From 12 to 12.;0 meetings of delegates
were held in their respective districts.
Cards were placed on the walls showing
where the delegates from each district
should meet, , Jr group was No. 8. corn•
