 crop up. 



Because our Society is generously supplying a 

 felt want it has thereby secured a large share of 

 public favor and working on its present plan can- 

 not fail to succeed. 



Because for the small sum of $i membership fee, 

 the return made is so great that the most of our 

 members are puzzled to know how it is done. 



Because our Society, in addition to the return of 

 4,242 trees and plants to its no members during 

 the past year has been instrumental in securing 

 for them from the Fruit Growers' Association of 

 Ontario 126 plants and the annual report of the 

 said Association meetings, at which are discus- 

 sions, the best up-to-date methods of fruit culture

 the first premium on horticultural literature ; and

 given us by gentlemen eminently qualified to in- 

 struct in the culture of fruit, flowers, etc.

 choir may be an aggregation of tuneless tyros, but

 "Elijah" will sweep the chords of his heart as 

 the organist touches the keys, or as the choir clears 

 its collective throat and sings "Old Hundred." —
