THE AUTUMN EXHIBITION 



About twenty-five hundred people visited 

 the autumnal exhibition of the society in 

 the Allan Gardens. An enormous marquee 

 had been pitched, tastefully decorated with 

 plants from the Allan Gardens, and lit with 

 festoons of hydro-electric lights, while an 

 excellent orchestra was in attendance. 



Over four hundred exhibits were regsa- 

 tered, a very large increase over the pre- 

 vious exhibition in the early summer. There 

 was a considerably larger number of names 

 in the prize-winners' list. Mr. T. D. Dock- 

 ray, the society's representative on the On- 

 tario Horticultural Association, secured the 

 special silver medal for August perennials. 



Ul'lAWA 



A successful exhibition under the aus- 

 pices of the Ottawa Horticultural Society, 

 was held during August, when the monthly 

 meeting was also held. In view of the back- 

 ward season the exhibits were not so numer- 

 ous as they might have been, but tne qual- 

 ity was of a high standard. 



The feature of the flower section was a 

 display of sweet peas. Some rare specimens 

 of fruit were staged, both as regards size 

 and formation. 



A paper was read by Mr. R. B. White on 

 "Lilies." Mr. Whyte dealt with twelve dif- 

 ferent varieties which he said he had found 

 to be the best in his long experience. He 

 explained fully the peculiarities and gave 

 some interesting hints as to the time of 

 planting and rearing, emphasizing the ne- 

 cessity tor having them as short a time as 

 possible out of the ground. This, he said, 

 was the chief cause of failure because the 

 bulbs got dry and were rendered useless. 

 There was a long list of prize winners. 



In Ottawa professional florists are allowed 

 to compete with amateur florists at the ex- 

 hibitions held by the Ottawa Horticultural 

 Society. Mr. R. B. Whyte, one of the di- 

 rectors of the society, told The Canadian 

 Horticulturist recently that this arrange- 

 men has caused very little trouble, in as 

 much as the amateurs generally win because 

 they have more time to give to the grow- 

 ing of their flowers for exhibition than the 

 professionals have. As professionals do not 

 like being beaten by the amateurs they do 

 not compete as often as they otherwise 

 would. 



Ontario Apples Won 



Ontario apples won a great victory during 

 August, when they captured the "Presi- 

 dent's Cup" offered at the International 

 Apple-shippers' Convention, held at Detroit, 

 for the most comprehensive display of ap- 

 ples. The Canadian exhibit met with keen 

 competition from displays made by the nu- 

 merous apple-producing districts of the 

 United States. 



The principal points on which the Cana- 

 dian apples won were "fine quality" and 

 "commercial value." The collection com- 

 prised thirty leading commercial varieties, 

 selected from carefully-sprayed orchards. 

 Mr. William Dixon, Hamilton, vice presi- 

 dent of the association for Canada, repre- 

 sented the exhibit, and Mr. P. J. Carey, 

 Dominion Fruit Inspector, of Toronto, rep- 

 resented the "Fruit Division" of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture at Ottawa, in the 

 work of collecting and installing the dis- 

 play. 



THE CONTRIBUTORS 



From Mr. Carey The Canadian Horticul- 

 turist is informed that a number of our 

 leading apple growers assisted in the prep- 

 aration of the exhibit. A fine lot was con- 

 tributed by Mr. J. C. Morgan, of the Inde-
