Horticultural Convention Delegate's Report of the Nineteenth Annual Convention of the Ontario Horticultural Association, held in the "King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 10th and 11th. The Convention opened with the registration of delegates followed by the 'President's address and an ad- dress of welcome by Mayor Foster. The report of the Superintendent, J. Lockie Wilson, was then presented and adopted. There are now 207 Hofticultdral- Societies in Ontario. The Legislative grant to all societies | m is $20,000. The expenditure of the Societies, as detailed in the reports sent in to the Superintendent, was $133,000--the Societies , therefore, ised over six and one-half times as uch as they received from the Gov- ernment. The Association sent out 150 lec- tures during 1924. Mr. H. J. Moore has not been appointed the official Lecturer." His services may be se- cured by applying to Lockie Wilson. ..It was suggested that the different Societies in the locality arrange a series of meetings and so lessen the expense of the Lecturer. Thé Superintendent thought that it would be wise to limit the maximum grant to any society to $5600, instead of- $800 as"at present, also that the number of delegates to the Conven- tion be limited to ten. These matters will be decided and reported on by the Resolutions Committee. The Superintendent also brought to the attention of the delegates that part of the horticultural work was Horticulture into the home tends to bring back the valuable home in- fluence which is so valuable to the community. During the opening discussion period the matter of the time for 'holding the Annual Meeting was brought up, On obtaining the per- [ mission of the. Superintendent, the annual meeting may be held at any time suitable to the local Society in- stead of holding same fir, J y as set out in the Act respecting Horti- cultural Societies. In regard to weeds, the attention of | Convention Was called to the fact that there is a Provincial law in regard to noxious weeds, which is in addition to any local by-law which may be passed The annual book prepared by local Societies was discussed. This book is of great value to members, If it was standardized and ssupplemented by items of the local Society, it could be prepared at much less expense. The Tuesday afternoon session was opened by an illustrated talk" on "Gardens" by Geo. Simpson, of Ot- tawa. After which H. J. Moore, of Toronto, presented the Report of the Committee on Official Score Card for Garden Competitions. F. C. Nunnick of Ottawa gave an illustrated address on "Small Front Gardens in Suburban London." Dur- or Se In his talk on "Garden Annuals" Geo. L. Klostermann," of Windsor, called attention to the many varieties --|one may have, which all bloom in a short time after seeds are planted. In regard to a color scheme he men- tioned nicotine, white; Larkspur, blue; Marigold, yellow; Asters, many colors, also the California Poppy. In a shady place, daisies may be grown. By gathering the seed from year to year, one may have beautiful flowers at a very little expense. An enjoyable banquet was held on Tuesday evening at which the dele- gates were addressed by Hon. John 8S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture, and others. Mrs. H. Waters, Toronto, gave "Art Flower Arrangement for the Home" which she demogstrated. The stems of cut flowers should be clipped once a day--the flowers should be kept out of a draft and kept cool at night. She suggested the followsing: Ferns should be tipped a little to show the inside. Place Marigolds, Asters, etc, in a low basket. "In the absence of jardiners, cover flower pots with 'crepe paper which harmonizes with the plant. T. J. Hannigan, of Guelph, spoke on Gladioli, which it is known were grown in England 300 years ago. They were introduced into America about 100 years ago and belong to the Iris family. Great progress has been made in their development during the last thirty years. In 1890, the Prim- ulina type was originated in England and in France about 1900. Gladiolj will not thrive under trees. A sandy loam is the ideal soil but they wi;ill grow in clay if loosened with sand or ashes. They may be planted from April 15 to June 1st. . Beds-may be 4 to 5 feet wide--plant crosswise in trenches 18 inches apart, each bulb 5 or 6 inches apart and 8 or 4 inches deep, depending on the size of the bulb. It is not necessary to remove the outer husk but the bulbs sprout quicker if same is removed. When moisture is required do it thoroughly. For art flowers cut bloom when t bud shows color, leaving four leaves on the stock. Geo. Vickers, Barrie, was re-elected Director for District No. 8, comprised of the Counties of Ontario, Peel, York and Simcoe. - ~~. |Goode's Creamery _ at Port Perry Is 34¢. per lb. for fat.
