 been either overwhehned or absent. 



It was decided among tlie members present 

 that the society should hold a Fall flower 

 show which will be on more elaborate lines, 

 than any previously held in this vicinity.

 regret, and Andrew Kneukes was unani- 

 mously elected to succeed him.

 ers, VVm. Smith, silver medal ; H. F. Bul- 

 pitt, bronze medal; for vegetables, James 

 Linanc, silver medal; H. F. Bulpitt, bronze 

 medal. 



Judging by the merits of the exhibits at 

 this meeting for the monthly prizes from the 

 A. N. Pierson and John H. Troy fund, com- 

 petition will be even more keen than in the 

 past. 



Reports for the past year and flower show 

 were received from the secretary, George 

 Hewitt, and treasurer, James Stuart. A 

 rising vcrte of thanks was given them for 

 their work and the si)lendid reports made by 

 them, which sliowed tlic society to bo in 

 good financial standing and very creditable 

 to the officers in charge.

 Show which was held in the Y. M. C. A.,

 crystal gardens so located that one could look right out the window 

 and see the flowers a'bloom in its perpetual summerland, regardless of 

 whether it was December or May? 



Straightway after reading it. I sent for your catalog, and looking 

 through it slowly, leaf by leaf, lingered at the one on Page 27. Turning 

 to the window. I looked out and saw it in my mind's eye, just as it

 and the wind is howling like a hungry wolf, but it is perpetual summer 

 in the bloom filled greenhouses. They are tilled with flowers and I am

 wrote to us. 



Her first move to their possession was to send for a catalog.
