Lectures Before l)orticultural Societies 



Below will be found a list of the dates and 

 places where arrangements have been made to 

 hold meetings of the societies during April. 



The work of arranging these has been trans- 

 ferred from the Fruit Growers' Association to the 

 Department of Farmers' Institutes, and hereafter 

 all communications in reference to lecture work 

 connected with these societies should be addressed 

 to G. C. Creelman, Superintendent of Farmers' In- 

 stitutes, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. 



The meetings as arranged this year differ some- 

 what from those held in former years, in that in 

 some instances a lady has been added to assist the 

 regular delegate at their meetings. 



It has also been arranged that all speakers shall 

 visit and address the children of the Public and 

 High Schools in the afternoon of the date on 

 which the meeting is to be held. It is hoped that 

 in this way the pupils may be be instructed in 

 matters pertaining to horticulture and nature 

 study, and that the meetings at night may also be 

 helped by the advertisement given them in the 

 schools.
