THE CAITADIAN HOETICULTURIST 



Newcastle 



The following shows the work undertaken 

 by the Newcastle Horticultural Society dur- 

 ing- 1914 : The members were given flowers, 

 fruit, btilbs and shrubs to the value of $1 

 each. Ordinarily they would pay at least 

 $2 for them. We also distributed about 

 2,000 bulbs to our members. We planted 

 one hundred trees on the streets. Around 

 the public school were planted trees, and 

 a Boston ivy vine. Shrubs and flower beds 

 were planted at each of the three churches, 

 and Boston ivy vine. Around the Seymour 

 power house were planted some trees. three 

 flower beds and some shrubs. Window boxes 

 were placed on the post office windows. 



We held a school children's public mar- 

 ket during the summer months every Sat- 

 urday morning. The seeds were donated 

 by Mr. R. S. Duncan, B.S..A., the District 

 Representative. The children received 

 their choice of either flower or vegetable 

 seeds, raised the plants amd sold the pro- 

 duct at the market, keeping the money so 

 earned. The Society judged the things dis- 

 played and gave marks for them. We had 

 seventy-seven members last year, and held 

 nine meetings, including three public meet- 

 ings, which were addressed by Prof. Hutt, 

 of Guelph, Mr. Geo. Baldwin of Toronto, 

 and Mr. Starr of Whitby.— A. Coldwell, 

 Secretary.

 form of a dry powder and all that is required

 spreads and looks like oil paint and costs 

 about one-fourth as much.
