In view of the fact that the rapid settlement of the uncultivated 
lands of the province is rapidly causing the extermination of its wild 
flowers, this society has begun the formation of a “ Wild Flower Gar- 
den,” in a portion of the public park at Beacon Hill. 
Numbers of the wild flowers and shrubs of the province have already 
been procured and planted, and the society trust that success will attend 
their efforts to preserve specimens of the present natural flora of the 
land as an evidence of the wonders and beauties of its wild flowers. 
XX.—From The Hamilton Scientific Association, through 
Dr. JAMES FLETCHER. 
The membership of our society is between 180 and 190, and a 
complete list of officers is appended. 
We take great pride in the fact that our society was established 
in 1857, and it therefore completes its fiftieth year of existence this 
year—probably a record in connection with similar Canadian societies: 
Steps are being taken to suitably celebrate our jubilee at the forth- 
coming opening meeting.
