The club meeting on Monday night, 

 March 11, was a "corker," and full of 

 virility and enthusiasm, about one 

 hundred members being present. All 

 special and regular committees had 

 encouraging reports to present, those 

 having to do with the big flower show 

 being especially hopeful. It was voted 

 to admit free to the show all soldiers 

 in uniform. Professor Lippman gave 

 an instructive address on the subject 

 of Fertilizers, giving some valuable 

 information on the sources of potash, 

 etc., in the United States and describ- 

 ing the work of development now be- 

 ing done by the government. John 

 Watson also spoke entertainingly on 

 publicity topics. Among the exhibits 

 were some fine sweet peas from S. Van 

 Ryper, Dundee Lake (highly com- 

 mended); antirrhinums from J. Ebb 

 Weir & Son, Jamesport (cultural cer- 

 tificate) ; seedling antirrhinum. "Ruth
