THE WINTER MEETING. 



The winter meeting of the Fruit 

 Growers' Association of Ontario will 

 be held at Chatham on the Second 

 Wednesday and Thursday of February, 

 1887. 



A good time and an enthusiastic 

 meeting is expected. 



Members should lay aside fine speci- 

 mens of fruit to bring along, and con- 

 tributions of plants and floral decora- 

 tions are always in order. 



Further particulars will be given in 

 January Number. 



''THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST " FOR 



1887. 

 We hope to make the volume for 

 1887 more fully illustrated than any 

 previous one. The beautiful colored 

 plates will be continued, and a large 

 number of cuts used to illustrate the 

 subjects treated of. No horticultural 

 paper in the world can be so useful 

 to Canadian fruit growers, because it 

 contains information just adapted to 

 Canada.

We ofier every Canadian subscriber 

 for 1887 a choice between : ( 1 ) Niagara 

 Grapevine, (2) Tree Vladimir Cherry, 

 (3) Two Plants Hilborn Raspberry, (4) 

 A New Single Flowered Geranium, (5) 

 Dahlia, (6) Three Packages of Flower 

 Seeds — Primula Cashmeriana, and two 

 other kinds. Please name your choice 

 when you send your subscrii)tion. They 

 will be distributed in April or May 

 next. 



THE REPORT. 



The Keport of the Meetings held by 

 the Fruit Growers' Association of Ont. 

 during the present year is full of inter- 

 esting subjects for fruit growers and 

 gardeners. The discussions being taken 

 down verbatim by a short-hand reporter 

 doubles their value over the old way of 

 reporting these meetings. This valuable 

 Keport will be sent free to every sub- 

 scriber to the Canadian Horticulturist 

 for 1887. 



SPECIAL CLUB RATES TO LOCAL ASSOCIA- 

 TIONS. 



Members of local associations in clubs 

 of not less than ten can have the Cana- 

 dian Horticulturist at a reduced rate, 

 and at the same time become members 

 of the Fruit Growers' Association of 

 Ontario. We want to cultivate sym- 

 pathy between it and the local societies. 

 We shall be glad to incorporate in the 

 Annual Report any interesting reports 

 or papers from local associations, and to 

 publish items of interest from them in 

 our Horticulturist. 



Will secretaries of local associations 

 please send us notices of their meetings^ 

 so that, when possible, we may be in 

 attendance. 



AGENTS. 



We would like some friend in every 

 town to show samples of The Canadian 

 Horticulturist, and take names of sub- 

 scribers. We will send free samples 

 for this purpose to any one who will 

 write for them, and pay a commission 

 on new subscriptions obtained by any 

 one acting as Agent. Address all 

 communications, 



L. WooLVERTON, Griuisbi/, Ont.
