ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ONTARIO FRUIT GROWERS' 



ASSOCIATION. 



The next annual meeting of this Associa- 

 tion will be held at Walkerton, Ontario, on 

 December ist, 2nd and 3rd, 1902. As the 

 fruit-growing industry has become so im- 

 portant in this country, it has been deemed 

 advisable to devote the entire time of the 

 ■Convention to matters pertaining to fruit, 

 but realizing at the same time that the sub- 

 ject of Floriculture, the growing of Plants 

 for the Home and Home Grounds, Care of 

 Lawns and of Gardens, are also important, 

 arrangements have been made whereby se- 

 parate sessions will be devoted to this work. 

 The best talent that can be procured has 

 beea engaged for the meetings, and it is ex- 

 pected that this year will mark a new era in 

 the progress of the Ontario Fruit Growers' 

 Association.
