The 'Meeting of the Gri.msbv Horticultural Society on Tuesday 

 evening, September ist, was, as usual, a great success. There was an elegant 

 display of flowers shown by the members of the Society, and more especially by 

 our amateur florists, A. Terryberry, A. E. Cole and Wm. Gibson. The first 

 part of the evening might be called a conversazione during which the people 

 met together and talked of the beauties before them. About nine o'clock the 

 Chairman, Mr. J. G. Grout, called the meeting to order for the following pro- 

 gramme : Piano duet. Misses A. McGibbon and F. Woolverton ; vocal duet, 

 Mr. and Mrs. Unwin ; piano solo. Miss F. Woolverton ; Chairman's address, 

 Mr. T- H. Grout ; recitation, Miss Metcalfe ; address on " Lawn Ornamenta- 

 tion," Prof. John Craig of Ottawa ; recitation, Miss Metcalfe ; vocal solo, Miss 

 Yahey. 



Horticultural Societies may be organized now for 1897. The first 

 meeting for organization proposed is fixed by law for the second Wednesday in 

 January of any year ; but previous to that time the real work must be done, 

 viz. : Fifty names must be secured, who are willing to become members, and 

 sign the declaration to that effect, paying in $1 each to the funds of the Society. 

 This declaration, thus duly signed, must be sent to the Minister of Agriculture 

 for the Province, who will authorize a person to call the first meeting as above
