OTTAWA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



THE September show of the Ottawa 

 Horticultural Society seems to have 

 been a complete success, St. John's hall 

 was crowded to its utmost capacity. The 

 chief interest centered about the contest be- 

 tween the children of the various schools 

 for the showing of the finest collection of 

 asters. The prizes for this exhibit were 

 donated by Mr. R. B. Whyte. Seed was 

 distributed to 135 children, and of these 82 

 brought in exhibits. Before the decision 

 of the judges was read an address was 

 given by Dr. Fletcher on " The Value of 

 Floriculture in the Training of Children," 

 and Mr. Whyte, the donor of the special 



prizes for the school children's contest, gave 

 a short address in which he thanked the 

 teachers of the various schools for the kind- 

 ly interest they had taken in the contest and 

 the aid they had so generously given. Mr. 

 Whyte announced that in addition to the 

 money prizes, 700 gladioli bulbs had been 

 given to the eighteen successful children for 

 a competition to be held next fall. Dr. 

 Fletcher announced the result of the judges' 

 awards and presented the prizes. He said 

 that the judges had had great difficulty in 

 coming to a decision, and in doing so had 

 taken into consideration the size, shape and 

 color of the flowers, the strength of the 

 stems and the arrangement in vases.
