Grafting Wax. — A good recipe, especially for outdoor use, is the fol- 

 lowing : — Melt together 5 parts resin, and 2 parts beeswax ; to this is added 

 i^ to 2 parts linseed oil. 



How Often to Spray. — Bulletin 84, Geneva Experiment Station, N. Y., 

 says the least number of times to which will give good results is three times, 

 viz., one before blossoming and two after blossoms fall. 



Fruit Company. — At Owen Sound a company has been formed with 5,000 

 shares of $10 each, called " The Owen Sound Fruit Company." The intention 

 is to buy up the entire apple crop of that region — ship the best, and utilize the 

 remainder for production of evaporated fruit, jellies, vinegar, etc. 



The Grimsby Horticultural Society (affiliated) held its first open 

 meeting in the Town Hall, on Thursday evening the i8th inst. The hall was 

 seated next the wall only, leaving the centre open for promenading among the 

 six or eight small tables filled with choice house plants grown in windows by 

 Grimsby amateurs. Fine Begonias and Geraniums were numerous, and promi- 

 nently elevating its head above them all was a fine dark red Amaryllis, and on 

 another table, amid some vigorous Priniulag Obconicae, was a magnificent Easter 

 Lily. Grimsby's " upper ten " were well represented, and were much pleased 

 with the evening. A brief programme of music was given, and a paper on 

 Floriculture read and discussed. A package of Gladiolus and Begonia bulbs 

 was given each member at the close of the evening. The cut blooms from 

 these Gladioli will make a fine display in September.
