THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURAL 

 ASSOCL\TION CONVENTION. 



All indications point to the coming 

 convention to be held in London, Ont., 

 Monday, Aug. 5 and 0, being the largest 

 that "has been." Railway fares are low 

 and the Pan-American and S. A. F. con- 

 vention can be taken in by many on 

 the same trip. 



Any florist with any pretensions of 

 being '•up-to-date," or with any desire 

 to be so, will miss one of the oppor- 

 tunities of his life both of doing good 

 to himself and to others by not attend- 

 ing. The best of us have a great deal 

 to learn. It is only those who know this 

 who know how little they do know. You 

 can learn more practical knowledge by 

 mixing with your fellow men and seeing 

 things outside your own little world in 

 two or three days than j-ou can by read- 

 ing or otherwise in a year, and this can 

 be truly said without deprecating "read- 

 ing or otherwise" in the least. Seize 

 every opportunity of keeping "up-to- 

 date." It pays. E. 



It is estimated thnt not less than two 

 thousand «f London Old Boys will return 

 to visit the Forest City on August 5, 6 

 and 7. The local oomniittee guarantee 

 single fare rate on certiilcate plan. All 

 florists intending to ati end the conven- 

 tion at London should avail themselves 

 of this by applying to their ticket agent 

 for a certificate when buying their tick- 

 et. "Remember it is the London Old 

 Boys' Reunion," for which this certifi- 

 cate must be had.

DICTIONARY OF GARDENING. 



The second, and last, volume of the 

 supplement to Nicholson's Dictionary of 

 Gardening has been issued and a copy 

 has been sent us by the American repre- 

 sentative of the publishers, Mr. Geo. T. 

 King, Hyde Park, Mass. 



This volume takes in G to Z and is 

 about the same .size as the first volume. 

 A large proportion of tin- cnyruvings are 



half tones from |.1p i i|.!,-, ,i, in Hi,' 



first volume, and . ,. ,, nnnin .ms 

 engravings of tlii- i > i ■ i i n, moi li- 



and butterflies wh- ,, 1,11 J 1- (let riict ivp 

 to plants, which will make it possible to 

 readily identify them. This is certainly 

 an excellent feature. 



The two volumes include an immense 

 number of additions to the original work 

 and bring this standard authority on 

 plant names right up to date. 



West Grove, Pa.— Roney ,Bros. have 

 found it necessary j;o enlarge" their place 

 this year owing to rapidly increasing 

 business. 



If you have not already sent an adv. 

 for our Convention Number, to be i^rsued 

 next week, mail order and copy at once.
