(continued from last issue)
If ydrangea paniculata islgorgeous in late
summer with its huge panicles. Scarcely
anything repaysfor time and trouble as
do Aruba and in general planting schemes
they cannot he done without and are wor-
thyof all consideration.
A demonstration on "Industrial fumes
Bud their effect on Horticulture" was giv-
en by C. D. Ferguson, Copper Cliff.
"How New Fruits are Originated" was
illustrated by Prof. W. T, Macoun. Otta-
wa, The passion for novelty is very great
among human beings today, as it seems to
have been for many centuries. We are
not content wish what has been, and is,
but desire something new, whether it is in
dress, anrueemetus, or in fruits. vegetables
or flowers.
'fee improvement of plants by artificial
means is of comparatively recent origin,
though nature has been at work all thru
the aces and, before hand pollination was
sI me, man merely saved and multiplied
i hose varieties of types that appealed to
him most. There are none of the apples
in general use today in Ontario that ate
the result of systematic breeding except
the variety called Ontario, which is a cross
he;ween Northern Spy and Wegener.
There are no perfect varieties of apples all
hoe some faults. The McIntosh apple,
fur instance, which suits most palates,
scabs badly. necessitating frequent spray-
ing to control this disease. It drops cas-
h y: and there are many bruised apples in
consequence. Northern Spy is too late in
coming into bearing. King is too shy a
hearer, Baldwin is good enough in quality
but not hardy enough, and so on. At this
stage, Mr. Macoun gave a demonstration
"Cross Breeding and fiend Pollination."
Cro•sing is done just before the '(lowers
open before the bees get into them. Every
seed which grows from any individual spec
imen of apple produces a different variety
The largest number of seeds we have not-
iced in one apple is twentyone so that
thisnnauy or more new varieties might'
cone from the one fruit.
At 3.45 "The Successful Operation of a
Horticultural Society" was given by J
Albert Smith, Kitchener. How should
the Society be run? First, have a good,
live secretary. Keep the president not
longer than two years and then tell bion
to get out. As to the Board of Directors.
',rune thein out, form committees and
plan for ane open -meeting each year,
l (ave snappy meetings, line up the Parks
Commission; get assistance from the Mun
icipal Council. Aim to have a flower and
vegetable show, Educate your members to
give rather than to gain. Keep on the
good side of your growers. Creating an
atmosphere in the hearts of the people
cannot be estimated in dollars and cents
Don't look upon the District Director as
just a figurehead use him often, a little in
concrete fora. After this an open discus
sion was held, opened by 11. Occomore,
Guelph
At 6.30 p. m. a banquet was held in the
King Edward Hotel, Addresses were giv-
en by Dr. G. 1. Christie, W. G, Martin,
M. P. P., Chas. Chambers and other
prominent speakers. Dr, Christie sail
-you can't have a hone by building a
house. It is living, planting, growing and
beautifying things that makes life, but is
this not a demonstrated fact, that there
are more than eighty thousand members
10 your association. I am pleading that
we way sell to more people this idea of
how to live. Flower beds along roadsides
were indicative of minds which had caught
the vision of the beautiful. Every town
should be turned intoa beauty spot with
trees,, flowers, echrubs and birds, And for
the rural communities is auitable"material
for conversation. He said, "petty gos-
siping would disappear were it to come in
contact with the flower garden he believ-
ed. The work of the Horticultural Soci-
ety is as important as any other line of
work being carried on in this province at
the present time.
Charles E. Chambers, Parks Commies-
ioner of Toronto, advocated recreation for
all people at all times by playgrounds and
parks, le this way you afford an oppor-
tunity of conserving the natural beauties
of your community.
Rev. W G. Martin. M. P. 1'., Brant
ford, looked into the flower and saw
peace.e He stated that the best way to
Stith" international peace is to have indi-
viduals in each community dediating
themselves to the planting of flowers.
W. B. Roadhouse, Deputy Minister of
Agriculture, told of a visit to gardens in
the British Isles. W. 13. Bailey, Fort Wil
Ilam; presided.

Chautauqua
The Chautauqua festival in Blyth has
passed over very successfully and those
who were able to attend these splendid en
tertainments have been well pleased.
When Chautauqua returns to us next
year we are confident that it will go over
big The opening program was a play
'The Patsy," a sparkling comedy. Patsy
yearns to be the life of the party and to
win the love of Tony, her sister's discard -
d beau, so with the help of four volumes
of 'Wise and Witty Sayings" and Tony
to teach her the gentle art of winning a
man's love, she succeeds in bringing Tony
to realize their love for each other. The
Petrie Quartette gave a prelude to the ad-
dress of Mies Neville -Johns. Her address
"The Land of the Kangaroo" was very
interesting and enjoyed by old and young,
The same evening the Petrie Quintette
gave a splendid musical program, assisted
by. Miss Ball as accompanist. Miss Ball
is a real artist herself. being reader, singer
and pianist. Miss Neville -Johns also as a
vocalist, delighted the audience at the
evening program. The third afternoon
the Cutler -Austin Trio {.resented their
program. Miss Austin is a master of the
violin. Never has a greater artist appear
in Blyth, her very soul seemed to speak
to you from the chords of the violin.
Mr. Cutler and Miss Smith are also
artists. Mr. Cutler as a tenor soloist and
Miss Smith as pianist. The evening of
the thitd daY, the Cutler -Austin Trio op-
ened the program with a prelude to Dr.
Teyhi Hsieh's address Dr. Wilford of
Oil Springs, a former medical missionary
to China. was present and introduced Dr.
Hsieh. It was moat interesttng to listen
to this son of China who tells very inter-
esting things of his native land. 1'e
speaks English fluently and is never at a
loss for the right words. The last even.
ing saw the presentation of a humorous
comedy "Give and Take," This was
much enjoyed by all.
Miss Milliken. the advance represent-
ative of Chautauqua is a delightful per-
sonage. and while in Blyth warmed her
way into the hearts of many citizens.
