The Rose and Strawberry meeting of the Ottawa Horticultural Society, 

 on the 27th of June, was a great success. Mr. McGrady, of Gatineau Point, 

 Que., showed 170 varieties; and the Experimental Farm, 150 varieties. Prof. 

 Saunders gave a very instructive address upon the rose. A silver cup was offered 

 by Mr. Scrim for the best twelve gladioli, shown in August. 



Choice Gladioli — A half bushel basket full of magnificent gladioli spikes 

 came to hand on the 22nd instant from Mr. John Little, of Granton. What

 his gladioli as well as for his strawberries. Grimsby Horticultural Society will 

 hold their gladioli show ofl Sept. 17th. We want to hear from each Society 

 after their flower meeting, with full particulars of the success of the new under- 

 taking.
