Horticultural Meetings 



About the first of May, meetings of 

 horticultural societies in Toronto, Hamil- 

 ton, St. Catharines, Cobourg and Perth 

 were addressed by Mr. J. Horace McFar- 

 land of Harrisburff, Penn., who is noted 

 for ]iis work as a civic improver and re- 

 former. The meetings were fairly well at- 

 tended except at Hamilton and Toronto. 

 Several other speakers took part in the 

 programs. The followins^- is a brief report 

 of the meetings that were held in Hamil- 

 ton : 



Mr. McFarland's address was a descrip- 

 tive one of improvement and reform work 

 in the different cities of the United States 

 and en*itled "A Crusade Against Ugli- 

 ness." It was illlustrated with 120 colored 

 views. The views were run in contrast to 

 each other, some showing the most beauti- 

 ful spots in the States, while others showed 

 the most deplorable public places and how 

 little beauty some people will put up with. 



He told briefly of his travels and said he 

 had not visited any city which had so 

 many natural advantages as Hamilton. 

 "The home," he said, "should be the unit 

 for the street and the street should not be 

 the place for poles of any kind." He re- 

 ferred to Hamilton's waterfront and said 

 he knew of no "place which could have a 

 more beautiful water front than Hamilton 

 might have. That might be accomplished 

 by keeping the water pure and free from 

 germs, which would mean fewer mosquitoes 

 and less malaria. 



He had also something to say about the 

 monstrous billboards which adorn the 

 shore of the bay, advertising a Toronto 

 playhouse. He said that billboards should 

 be more closelv watched and that they

 good advertisement for the city, as far as 

 beauty was concerned, and in the country, 

 they are blots on the landscape. The 

 smoke nuisance should also be regulated 

 and that would mean purer air. 



There were evidences of lack of treat-

 useful and beneficial for the beauty of the
