LECTURE 



HORTICUL 



COURSE FOR OUR 

 TURAL SOCIETIES. 

 For THE Encouragement of all our affili 

 ated horticultural societies, Mr. G. C 



Creelman, our efficient secretary has ar- 

 ranged the following schedule of lec- 

 tures on horticultural topics. If any socie- 

 ties are omitted it is because they have 

 failed to accept the offered lecture, which 

 costs them practically nothing. Where pos- 

 sible, it will serve to popularise the evening 

 lecture and at the same time make the lec- 

 turer's visit doubly useful, if a mass meeting 

 of the schools can be held at 3 p.m. of the 



same day, to hear an address especially 

 adapted to students. No doubt, wherever a 

 Civic Improvement League is affiliated, a 



lecture might be secured for them also. 



Division No. i. 

 Delegate— T. H. Race, Mitchell, Ont. 

 Subjects : 



I. The Rose, its Cultivation and Influence 

 Upon the Home.
