THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



Towa Council declare one-half of Arbor Day or 

 another earlier day if suitable according to the 

 season as a public holiday for the purpose of en- 

 abling the members ot this Society and citizens 

 generally to plant shade trees and flowering shrubs 

 on our streets and public park known as the Bend 

 and principally on the three streets around the old 

 drill shed grounds (providing the authorities re- 

 move the fence and otherwise improve the appear- 

 ance of the grounds) and generally to promote 

 out-door art and public beauty. 



We would also recommend that the Directors 

 offer prizes for outside window box gardening and 

 hanging baskets duiin^ the coming season. 



OUR BOOK TABLE. 



"Millions OF Trees" is the title on the front 

 cover o' a very attractive catalogue issued by our 

 advertiser, D. Hill, the veteran grower of ever- 

 greens at Dundee, 111. Mr. Hill has been "at it" 

 for more than forty yeais, and is known not only 

 all over this land, but in many foreign countries. 

 He is a native of old England, where forestry is 

 more intelligently understood than here. He 

 grows all his stock from seed and develops them 

 mto thrifty, hardy trees. Those who deal with 

 him once do so again and again as need arises. 

 Write for his catalogue and mention Canadian 

 Horticulturist wten vou do.
