CANADIAN HORTICULTURAL AS- 

 SOCIATION. 



Abstract of the Address of President H> 



E. Philpott at St. Catharines, Ont., 



August 10, 1910. 



As President of ttie Canadian Horti- 

 culture Association, I extend a wel- 

 come and greet you to our fourteenth 

 annual convention. 



One fault of these meetings Is that 

 we do not extend to the strangers as- 

 sembled with us, the cordial greeting 

 or friendly hand-clasp that would war- 

 rant them to feel at home like the 

 rest of us who are better known to 

 each other. It would be a good idea, 

 to appoint a committee to take charge 

 of this most essential feature, to in- 

 troduce to each other the members 

 and friends who are gathered with us. 

 It may be that among us are one or 

 more total strangers who having be- 

 come interested in our aims and am- 

 bitions have taken this opportunity to 

 meet us in discussing and bettering 

 the interests along this line; they may 

 just by the friendly clasp extended to 

 them be induced to unite with us. 



While we are as yet practically a. 

 young organization, much is expected 

 of us and we want to do our best to 

 instruct our members and educate the 

 masses in all lines pertaining to horti- 

 culture. We want to widen and deep- 

 en the interest in our profession by in- 

 creasing our membership. We want 

 to encourage the formation of kindred, 

 societies, exhibitions of plants and 

 flowers, and to make our meetings so 

 interesting and of such value to our 

 membei-s that they will look forward 

 to each time of meeting, and so try 

 and help each other to our uttermost 

 in making our work less arduous and 

 more profitable. 



I feel that I can safely state that 

 there is a grand futui-e for us in this 

 country, as the extensive building and 

 erecting of greenhouses, and the nur- 

 series starting up dui-ing the past 

 year, convince me that times are pros- 

 perous, and if we work diligently to- 

 gether we should be able to add great- 

 ly to our list of members before we 

 hold our next convention. 



Let us try with all our might to 

 push the good cause and to bring our- 

 selves on the same footing as older 

 organizations of our kind. Let us take 

 an interest in the younger members of 

 the profession and establish some 

 measure of qualification, so they may 

 become capable and proficient in en- 

 tering into the many places in the 

 horticulture lines that at this age pre- 

 sents so many opportunities for those 

 who are qualified to fill such positions. 

 Let us not think what others are go- 

 ing to do for us, but let us aspire 

 and endeavor to do moi-e for others 

 than we expect as individuals to re- 

 ceive. 



One principal subject at this con- 

 vention that I wish to present to you, 

 and which will be brought up for dis- 

 cussion is regarding the duty on 

 plants, fiowers and supplies. Shall we 

 petition to abolish the duty on plants 

 and flowers coming into Canada, or 

 will it be advisable to have it abol- 

 ished on plants or supplies only? 1 

 trust that during the sessions of our 

 meetings our deliberations may be 

 earnest, honest and decisive. I also 

 hope that as many as possible will 

 attend the convention of the S. A. F.,. 

 in Rochester next week.
