to Cayuga. I feel sure the organization of 

 a local Horticultural Society would prove of 

 equal benefit to any other place and there 

 are many places where weeds, laziness and 

 a lack of flowers seem to be the noticeable 

 features. The four cuts are, i. A glimpse of 

 the Court House with Mr. Murphy and 

 children. 2. The Rt. Rev. Dean Laussie 



D. D., his home and garden. 3. My house 

 showing the southern terrace just opposite 

 the Court House. 4. A bunch of Asters 

 picked from one of my beds that contained 

 at one time 5000 asters in bloom. These 

 photos were taken by J. W. Sweatman, son 

 of the Bishop of Toronto.
