 ing will be held February 22 and at the 

 meeting of March 20 Ottawa gardeners 

 and florists will be invited to attend.

W. E. Groves spoke on the Canadian 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Association, 

 what it has done and its possibilities. 

 He paid tribute to the men who had 

 built up the association. It was founded 

 ,in 1898 and the first president was W. W. 

 Gammage, of London, Ont. All the 

 presidents are still in the land of the liv- 

 ing, and include such men as J. H. Dun- 

 lop, P. McKenna, T. Manton, E. B. Ham- 

 ilton, all well known and outstanding 

 men in the horticultural profession. In 

 looking forward he hoped there would 

 be a ijotanical garden established at 

 Toronto; then similar work to that done 

 at Urbana could be done at Toronto. 

 Floral work, trial gardens, etc., should 

 also be established at Western Univer- 

 sity, at London, Ont., and at the Ontario 

 Agricultural College, at Guelph, Ont. 

 Attention should be given to education, 

 and education for the gardener should 

 be within his reach. The tariff had been 

 looked after by Major Connon and will 

 require attention during the coming year 

 or the year following. Legislation was 

 being looked after by Emery B. Hamil- 

 ton, and this part of the work will be 

 taken care of well. Membership was 

 growing and gardeners and florists from 

 all the different provinces were joining. 

 This strengthening of the organization 

 was going to make the steps of advance- 

 ment more effective. Registration was 

 now an established fact and any person 

 desiring registration of plants had only 

 to send them to W. H. Moore. He would 

 supply all particulars regarding this 

 phase of the association's work. 



A labor bureau and a question bureau 

 were suggested as possibilities for the 

 association's activities. 



A hearty vote of thanks was tendered 

 Mr. Groves for a most excellent address. 

 Several other visitors spoke briefly.
