Of all tlie cxliibitions given this sea- 

 son that held by the Lawrence-Cedcr- 

 hurst Horticultural Society in the Law- 

 rence Hall, Nov. 8, deserves ' the most 

 praise. This society is the youngest, 

 it being only recently organized, and 

 the locality cannot boa.st of having 

 much glass, but it has a few good men 

 who feel like fish out of water unless 

 they are growing for exhibition. A few 

 of them have, so to speak, been reared 

 in exhibition halls in Europe and in 

 America and no matter where such men 

 go exhibition plants and flowers can be 

 seen. 



Alex McKenzie. John G. McNicoll, 

 James Bel], E. J. Horn, Thomas Saunder- 

 son, Herbert Entrohist, Wra. Mitchell, 

 John Reilly, Paul Seidlin and Maurice
