However backward, we are _ not supinely to fold our hands, and indifferently allow other â€" interests _ besides ours . to make _ rapid strides in the oowatd march of progress, but our duty is evidently to dev se meane, and make use of every plan to further horticulture in a diatrict l&o this capable of sustaining its mwillions of population, and with verge aad scope enough to form a State, having for its highway the magnificent Urand River for its main, and the diverring streams of beauty on its right and left for *.'l:‘:‘ ginators of, and the co laboure origi y the co ia re for, the advancement in all material pros perity of a country like this, may not al present reap the fruit of their doings ; posterity, however, wilk adequately recog pize their efforts, and crown their brows with a diadem of immortality. _ _ _ gny Let us, then, members of the Fruit Growers‘ Association, of Ontario, arouse ourselves, and let the motto of our Society be more legibly emblazoned on our banâ€" ners, than it has yet beenâ€"for ward, and onward !â€"prosecute with diligence and assiduity the great work which we bave on handâ€"let us more emphatica‘ly than ever recommend the sowing of the best seeds ot our best fruits,â€"encourage the raising of new and hardy varietiesâ€"inculcate the use of the bes: arts of cultivationâ€"study the ch nges of natureâ€"extend our obserâ€" vations and labours, till the Ottawa Valley and all the unfruitful places in our far west rejoice and blossom.
