ORGANIZED HORTICULTURE IN THE NORTHWEST. 59 



PROF. BAIRD. We must work with the utmost cordiality with the 

 Brandon Society. It seems to me that the co-operation might take 

 some such form as this. Possibly we might ask them to contribute 

 papers to our annual publication. Then in addition to this, member- 

 ship in their society should entitle each member to a free copy of this 

 publication which we hope to distribute shortly to our own members ; 

 but it is for the Society to take action. 



Mr. WHEivi^AMS. I move that we request the Executive of this 

 Society to try and arrange to work with Brandon Society. Seconded 

 by Mr. A. P. Stevenson and carried. 



MR. A. P. STEVENSON. L/et me say that there are two or three 

 Horticultural Societies in Minnesota and different parts of Iowa, in the 

 N.E., N.W., S.E. and S.W., but one, by becoming- a member of one of 

 these local societies also becomes a member of the State Horticultural 

 Society. I have an idea that in time we may have a number of small 

 societies, and by becoming 1 a member of one of these anyone can be- 

 come a member of the Provincial Society. 



MR. A. McKAY. I would like to see the name of the Society 

 changed so as to take in the whole of the North-West Territories. We 

 would not like to affiliate with you, but we would like you to affiliate 

 with us. If you change the name and we get up any society in the 

 North West, let it be understood that the members of it would be 

 members of the society here. I am sure in the North West we require 

 such a society almost as much and probably more than you do here. I 

 move that we remit to the Executive Committee the question of chang- 

 ing the name from the " Manitoba Horticultural Society" to some 

 other that will give equal prominence to the North West Territories. 

 This was seconded by Mr. R. Alston and agreed. 



MR. TOMAUN. Is it the intention of the Society to hold more than 

 one meeting a year ? 



PROF. BAIRD. There has been nothing- decided about the number 

 of meeting's. 



MR. TOMAUN. I think we should make some arrangement for 

 holding a Horticultural society show some time in August or about 

 that time. I would leave it with the Executive to see what they can do. 



MR. WAUGH. I second that motion. I think the [thing is a very 

 feasible proposition. Carried. 



MR. G. MCGREGOR. Do you confine the Society and its show to 

 fruits and flowers ? 



Answer. No, we take in vegetables so as to make it a sort of gen- 

 eral fall show of horticultural products.
