The Floral Exhibit of the Grimsby Horticultural Society was a grand 

 success this season. It was held in the Town Hall on the evening of September 

 17th, and, though a little late in the month for the best spikes of gladioli, the 

 show of other flowers, both cut and in pots, filled every spare foot of space. 

 The Society had distributed to each member a dozen gladoli and two tuberous 

 begonias. The gladioli were planted about the first of June, and had the show

 thanks of the Society are due to Miss Little of Granton for a basket of beautiful 

 spikes of gladioli contributed by her. With the floral exhibit was combined an 

 art exhibit, and teachers and pupils united in the display of their work, which 

 contributed very much to the interest of the occasion. The people of Grimsby 

 were well represented, and the first part of the evening was a veritable conversa- 

 zione, after which the president, Mr. J. H. Grout, called for a programme of 

 music and recitations. There was an admission fee of ten cents, which left a 

 nice little sum in the hands of the treasurer after expenses were paid.
