Preparations for Convention. 



There has been a big demand for 

 space in the trade exhibition of the 

 Canadian Horticultural Association, to 

 be held in connection with the conven- 

 tion, at the Prince George hotel the 

 second week of August. The fact that 

 all the retail florists of Canada have 

 been invited to attend the Canadian 

 Horticultural Association convention 

 this year is probably responsible to some 

 extent for the demand for space. There 

 will be a large representation from the 

 United States. Those who have not yet 

 reserved space and desire to do so should 

 communicate with Alex Simpson, con- 

 vention secretary, or J. J. Higgins, 256 

 Yonge street, superintendent of ex- 

 hibits. 



All the sessions, banquet, etc., will be 

 held at the Prince George. Arrange- 

 ments have been made with the customs 

 department to admit free under bond all 

 goods brought in for exhibition pur- 

 poses only. All desiring hotel reserva- 

 tions should coniniiinicate with H. G. 

 Dillemuth, convention chairman. 



The retail florists will have charge of 

 the proceedings Wednesday, August 13. 

 The morning will be taken up with busi- 

 ness and the afternoon with the annual 

 picnic of the Toronto Retail Florists' 

 Club, to which all florists and their 

 families are invited. Last year, with 

 only Toronto florists, there was an at- 

 tendance of over 300. This year pro- 

 vision is being made for 500. Besides 

 motor cars to take the crowds to Long 

 Branch, where the picnic will be held, 

 two large suburban electric cars have 

 been chartered and will leave Sunny- 

 side station at 2 o 'clock. Two pavilions 

 have been secured, one for the supper 

 and one for dancing. A long list of 

 sports has been drawn up, for which 

 valuable prizes have been allotted. A 

 feature of the picnic will be a drawing 

 contest. Each visitor will be given a 

 number and the three lucky numbers 

 drawn will secure for the holders valu- 

 able prizes. J. J. H. 



St. Paul, Minn.— D. W. C. Ruff won 

 the first prizes in the peony classes at 

 the flower show of the Minnesota State 

 Horticultural Society and the North- 

 western Peony and Iris Association, 

 with the following varieties: Best 

 white, La Cygne; light pink, Touran- 

 gelle; dark pink, Martha Bulloch; red, 

 Mnry Brand. His collection of 200 va- 

 rietira also won a prize.
