208 The Ottawa Naturalist. [Feb. 



The Ottawa Horticulturist: The official organ of the 

 Ottawa Horticultural Society. This new monthly made its first 

 appearance with the January, 1911, issue, and is highly credit- 

 able to those who are responsible for its pubhcation. It is not 

 in any way intended to take the place of other horticultural 

 journals, but will be used chiefly for matters of local interest. 

 Besides publishing announcements of meetings, exhibitions, etc., 

 and the Society's Premium and Prize Lists, special articles will 

 appear from time to time on subjects of practical interest to 

 members of the Society. 



We extend to our sister Society our best wishes for the future 

 success of The Ottawa Horticulturist.

NOTES. 



Change in Lecture Programme. The Lecture Committee 

 announce that the lecture before the Club, for the evening of 

 March 7th, will be given by Mr. R. H. Campbell, Superintendent 

 of Forestry of the Department of the Interior, instead of by Mr. 

 W. E. Saunders, of London, Ont. The title of Mr. Campbell's 

 lecture will be, "How the Forest Grows." It will be held in 

 the assembly hall of the Normal School, and will be illustrated 

 with lantern slides. It is hoped that Mr. Saunders will lecture 

 before the Club at a later date. 



Maps of Ottawa. The Club has still on hand a number of 

 maps of the Ottawa District, which the Treasurer would like to 

 dispose of. Copies can be had from Mr. Herbert Groh, Central 

 Experimental Farm. The charge to members is 5 cents each, 

 to non-members, 10 cents. M :^ 



A New Field-Naturalists' Club. A society has recently 

 been formed at Picton, Ont., under the name "The Prince 

 Edward County Field-Naturalists' Club" for the purpose of 

 Nature Study and protection and study of birds and native 

 wdld flowers, etc. The Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club extends 

 to this new society its warmest greetings and best wishes for its 

 future prosperity. Our Club was honored by receiving an invita- 

 tion for our President, Mr, Halkett, to address the new society 

 at one of its winter meetings.
