Various ExHibitions 



The annual exhibition at St. John, N.B., 

 was held in the early part of Sept. The date 

 was too early for a good display of fruit; but 

 the exhibits showed well for the season, especi- 

 ally with the earlier varieties. N.S. was not 

 fully represented. In competition with her 

 sister province, however, in single entries, she 

 held her own; if any difference existed, N.S. 

 was perhaps superior. Many counties of 

 N.B. had a very creditable display. The floral 

 exhibit this year was, perhaps, superior to 

 anjrthing ever seen in St. John. Both the 

 plants and cut flowers were very fine, and the 

 exhibits were most tastefully arranged. 



^On Sept. 8, the Montreal Hort. Soc. opened 

 the new Royal Scots Armory with their annual 

 exhibition. The display was most complete, 

 embracing almost every specimen of flower, 

 fruit and vegetable grown at the season. A 

 large ninnber of classes were open, and the 

 number of entries was ample. Much satisfac- 

 tion was expressed over the success of the 

 show, and the advantages of the new armory 

 where it was held. 



jEarly in Sept. a lawn and garden competi- 

 tion was held by the St. Thomas Hort Soc. 

 Many entries were received, and prizes of .5, 

 3 and 2 dollars were given. A class will be 

 made next year to permit the competition of 

 caretakers of public grounds and of private 



properties. A good idea is the liberty given 

 prize-winners to invest part of their prize 

 money in bulbs to grow for next year's com- 

 petition. By so doing, they can obtain the 

 very best stock at wholesale prices. 



The Quebec Pomological Society held a very 

 interesting summer meeting at Chateauguay 

 Basin. Among the addresses delivered was 

 one by Mr. W. T. Macoun, Ottawa, which will 

 be published soon in The HoRTicin.TURisT.
