NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The regular fortnightly meeting of 

 this society was held last Wednesday 

 evening. President Sullivan in the 



chair. Some time was spent in squar- 

 ing up the affairs of the recent exhibi- 

 tion, all premiums and bills in con- 

 nection therewith having been paid. 

 A discussion took place on the merits 

 of various kinds of fertilizers for 

 lawns and crops. In relation thereto 

 Joseph Gil 'SOU stated that he had re- 

 cently visited the experiment station 

 at Kingston and was much impressed 

 with the work carried on there, par- 

 ticularly the interesting results of 

 fertilizer tests on crops. 



When their large greenhouse is com- 

 pleted the officials at the station and 

 college hope to make their work in 

 horticultural lines still more interest- 

 ing. The absence of a proper struc- 

 ture of this kind has greatly ham- 

 pered the faculty in the past. 



At the next meeting of the society 

 a paper will be read on "Landscape 

 Gardening Past and Present," It is 

 proposed to have papers on topics of 

 interest to the craft read and discussed 

 at every ineetir.g.
