Newcastle Horticultural Meeting On Tuesday evening, June 20th, at the Newcastle Community Hall, the Newcastle Horticultural Society held the Senior Citizens. President Margery Freethy earned the most points in the show and Mr. Del Moore presented her with a silver rose bowl donated by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Since Mrs. Louise Jose, Mrs. Madeleine.Buckley and Mrs. Queenie Fletcher attended the Ontario Horti- cultural Convention at Kingston, Mrs. Fletcher was asked for her report.'It was so well given that President Freethy felt it should be printed. Here is Mrs. Fletcher's report. To try to cover even a very small part of the thousands of words that were spoken about the work being carried on under the heading of Horticul- ture at the Kingston Convention last week, would be an impossibility. The many and varied speakers were well versed in their topics and provided stimulating informa- tion under the common theme - Horticulture, a common bond. As horticulturists, we were urged to use our skills and knowledge to further efforts to make our Dominion a wondrous garden. This large interest, which all share, could weld all Horticultural Societies into one large Dominion organization.

The Dept. of Agriculture under the Hon. Wm. Newman stand ready to assist societies in any way possible, and much literature is available upon request. A new logo would shortly be available for societies wishing to obtain it for use on their stationery. Local businessmen, banks and other businesses could be asked to display materials to improve the local image, thus arousing more interest in Horticultural Societies. Women's groups such as the W.I. could be asked to support local activities. Greetings were brought from Manitoba by Mr. P.J. Peters, called the Poet Laureate of Horticultural Societies. He is Sec. Treasurer of the Manitoba Society, He spoke of the great amount of work and planning that had preceded the formal opening of the International Peace Garden on July 14, 1932, when 50,000 people from all over Canada and the USA gathered to commemorate this great achievement. He referred to it as a band of peace straddling the Canadian US border, a MME national theme of green and beauty, which in times of stress, is so important if unity and understanding between Canada and her neighbours to the south are to achieve Brotherhood. Panel speakers from Quebec, the Maritimes and the Northwest Territories, the United States and from England also brought greetings and outlined the work being carried on in their respective areas. They differ somewhat from us with their private, garden, dahlia, etc. clubs, but were discovering that when people work together to promote their interests, they meet with much success. Some food for thought was given in suggestions for updating and strengthening our societies. Such things as speakers' courses, editing newsletters, special speakers, music, were suggested. Staging flower shows was the subject of a most interest- ing seminar. The question was asked why and the answer was, to provide competition and variety, and to interest others in taking an active part in the Society by sharing skills and know-how. Effective methods of staging, lighting, hospitality and publicity were mentioned and as well the fact that the Chairperson should be very knowledgeable and every attempt made to make all WE ., THURS., FR1.

Exhibitors should feel free to discuss their entries. Growing plants under lights was a most interesting topic, under the chairmanship of Mr. Gordon Thom, Morrisburg. This had the large audience eager to learn and ask many questions. Different plants need different degrees of light and heat, and these can be controlled automatically in some instances. It is common sense to try to duplicate what- God has given. Fertilization on seedlings should occur when the second set of leaves appear, and then a watered down 20-20-20 applied. Make sure that your equipment is CAS approved. As a parting bit of information, the speaker said it was nice to have this type of gardening put into Senior Citizens homes where the inmates no longer actively partake in outdoor gardening. Also a prediction was made that in the not too distant future, greenhouses would switch to this type of growing plants, cutting down on costs of glass, electricity, energy, etc. The photographic competition was thoroughly enjoyed as prize-winning slides were shown. One evening we were entertained with music from a Deseronto High School Band, some native and ethnic dances and two films, one the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture new film, entitled Growing Together, and the other a lovely film called Symphony of the International Peace Garden. A talk entitled Green, Survival was given by Mr. Bob Lederer, Ex Vice-President of the American Association of Nurserymen. He told us about the work being carried on under this title by many prominent American dignitaries and public officials. The idea is to keep people ever aware to the need for growing trees and other things for humanity's survival. It is a language downright and overpowering, the things that are entailed in the process of growing. Their job is to teach people to plant trees to act as windbreaks and to muffle noise and pollution, to prevent soil erosion, and to provide pure air. He said that the concepts of this group are basic to us all and could provide a common bond using planting programmes. We must take small steps to bring this about. Green Survival is something you can do. In some of their schools, this study is a required course on the curriculum. The result is to create an image of plants, trees and shrubs for the public as a functioning part of our survival, a series of small steps to improve the value of our lives. After this report, Mr. Bill Bradbury, Oshawa, who was judge for the show, enter- tained with beautiful slides of roadside weeds, flowers, plants and animals through the changing seasons. The Juniors who entered exhibits in the Show were Becky Crockett, Steven Crockett, K. Tordiff, Wade Rowley and Brian Couvier. They are to be congratulated on their efforts. During the business period, Mrs. Donna Wallis read the minutes of the previous meeting. Mrs. Narda Hoogkamp, a worker for 14 years in the Society, resigned as Junior leader and has been replaced by Mrs. Lorna Crockett. A lovely lunch was served by the committee in charge.
