The Canadian Horticulturist. 



MR. ALEXANDER McD. ALLAN, 



PRESIDENT OF THE E.G. A, OF ONT. 



IN volume xi., page 4, of this journal, there appeared a brief biographical 

 sketch of this gentleman, together with an outline engraving of his 

 face. The latter, however, failed to portray his features with any degree 

 of correctness, and therefore we have had a new and much more expensive 

 engraving prepared, both for these pages, and as a frontispiece to the 

 Annual Report for 1888. The Report, which was sent on to the Govern- 

 ment printers early last December, will soon be ready for distribution, and 

 contains, besides, three beautiful, full page engravings of beds and bedding 

 plants, as arranged on the Government Grounds, Ottawa, by Mr. N. 

 Robertson.
