THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



Mr. Alport, for the interest he had taken in, and 

 success which had attended his efforts to secure a 

 creditable exhibit of fruits from this district to the 

 Pan-American Exposition, last summer. Both the 

 mover and seconder expressed in felicitous terms 

 the pride with which they had viewed the Cana- 

 dian exhibit at Buffalo, more particularly the 

 Ontario part, in which Orillia district occupied so 

 prominent and creditable a place. 



On motion of Messrs. Reeve and Fisher, it was 

 resolved that meetings of the Board be held on the 

 second Tuesday in February, March and April, 

 7.30 p. m. in the Council Chambers. 



On motion of Messrs. Secord and Reeve, the 

 Secretary was instructed to suggest to the Minister 

 of Agriculture, that should any amendment be 



made in the Agriculture and Arts Act, at an early 

 day, it be provided the annual meetings of Horti- 

 culture Societits may be held on any day during 

 the second week in January which may be appoint- 

 ed by the Directors, on due notice being given in 

 the usual way. 



At a subsequent meeting of the Directors. Mr. 

 C. L. Stephens was appointed Secretary-Treasurer 

 for 1902. The Secretary was instructed to com- 

 municate with Prof. Fletcher, with a view to 

 having him deliver a lecture in Orillia at some 

 early date. The committee of last year to act in 

 conjunction wi h Town Council and Board of 

 Trade in the matter of street shade trees, boule- 

 vards, etc, was re-appointed. 



Atlas of Western Canada, issued under the 

 direction of Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the

 creditable work, and is designed to give the world 

 some adequate idea of the resources and extent of 

 our magnificent country.

JOURNALS. 



Country Life in America, January, 1902, Page, 

 Doubleday & Co . 34 Union Sq. East New York 

 City. This is only the third issue of this elegant 

 publication, which is edited by that indefatigable 

 writer, Prof. L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University. 

 It is a folio of thirty two pages, printed on extra 

 heavy, highly finished paper, and illustrated with 

 magnificent photogravures, some of them full page 

 size. We know of no journal in the world equal to 

 it, dealing with country life, either in make up or 

 in subject matter; and it will command a place on 

 the table of the gentleman as well as on the desk of 

 the practical horticulturist. 



Farm, Field and Fireside rionthiy, published 

 by the Howard Co. Chicago, 111. got up in similar 

 style with the well known American Agriculturist,
