A. Cameron and Miss Jean Cameron, 10th con.,» Mr, Jim Reid,’ who is assisting Ralph Cameron, has been sick for week. There are no signs yet for mers to begin their spring more cold weather in sight, ♦ At the annual convention in Tor onto many different branches of the society were discussed and I will' try and mention those that affect -us most. Each society should strive for a few extra members in the coming year, Seventy-five societies had a decrease.' I don’t know- whether Wingham is among that number or not, but we seem to have such difficulty getting interest. One or two suggestions were made to "keep the society in the minds of our citizens during the year instead of just Spring canvassing: (1) Have bird’ lj.ou.se exhibits for school boys and girls, have a regular date set, give two or three prizes, al so have the boys sell their houses if they wish. This stimulates early int erest- and also protects many harm less birds. (2) Plan a clean-up week for about May TOth, write out little helps for Spring cleaning of the garden, hints for the rose garden, care of shrubs, perennial beds, in, the spring publish these in the local'papers. Again the school children could write an essay on what cleaning means, and does for communities and garden, ' also their assistance in same, and what they would like or plan for the garden. Give a prize and see ,that the essay is published. All this is to keep the soc iety in the public eye and try and h-old their interest through the year instead of only hearing from us once a year when we canvass for memberships. (3) Window Shows, Flower Shows and Town beds were all mentioned, and in our Flower Shows make space for the juvenile exhibits, even though small. A large number of northern schools are to be beautified this year by the donation of perennials such as phlox, peonies, iris, etc., also shrubs, by soc ieties. Some of these small schools appear, from outside, so barren, like little jails, and I’m sure the little pup ils who do not get many opportunit ies to see and love flowers will ap preciate these gifts. Mrs, Connell and T did not offer any assistance because we have both noticed schools quite close that could be beautified greatly- by a few donations, maybe by getting in contact with trustees of two or three schools and having them prepare the beds, we could donate perennials and shrubs even, if the work was not done till Fall. The parents of these children would become interested and we might eventually get them as members. Tree planting caused ‘great discus sion and interest, It was hoped that each community would plant a tree to commemorate Their Majesties’ vis it this sp ‘ Street trees ih towns and villages are a concern, some are needlessly destroyed' by not having them cared for. Peole will put wires around beau tiful big trees which cut deep int'o the trunk and eventually they die. Injury to trees, bark ripped off, pieces goug ed out, should be attended to. Some trees are reaching quite an old' age and will soon disappear, now is the time to replace these. Have them well rooted and started, ready to take their place, This is a matter in which the Town would willingly co-operate with us, and our assistance as to the type' of tree and distance in plantings is. most helpful. The Christmas tree problem has caused a lot of com plaints, but it is rapidly developing into an important enterprise, a half million dollars’ worth of trees were shipped to U.S. last Christmas, 75,000- used annually' in Toronto alone. Can adian farmers are finding it a -very profitable off-season crop. However,, it was suggested this year that Can- a'dians plant a Christmas tree on our lawn and have a living tree all year instead of one for a few, days at Christmas. In perennial borders it was suggest ed to group Clarkia, button Zinnias, petunias, for lots of color. all season, also to plant in clumps coral lily and old fashioned orange lily particularly as they bloom at the very time color is lacking, and are extremely effect ive when clumped together. A tip on treating glads given by' a professor' from Ottawa, use 1 teas- spoon of Lysol to one quart of water,, soak’ 3 to 4 hours before planting. Al ways clean glads before planting.
