THE CANADIAN CONVENTION 



The eighth annual convention of the 

 Canadian Horticultural Association, 

 which opened in the Natural History 

 Hall, Montreal, on August 8 at 2 p. m., 

 was the most successful gathering of the 

 craft, both in point of interest and at- 

 tendance. Never before in the history of 

 the association has the attendance been 

 as well distributed, or included so many 

 delegates from distant points. There 

 were delegates in attendance from 

 Winnipeg in the west, to Truro, N. S., 

 and St. John, Newfoundland, in the 

 east. 



The convention was called to order at 

 2 o'clock by President Geo. Robinson, 

 Montreal, who introduced Mayor La- 

 porte of Montreal, who delivered an ad- 

 dress of welcome, extending to the dele- 

 gates a hearty welcome and inviting them 

 to be the guests of the city on Thurs- 

 day. Mr. Wm. Gammage of London re- 

 plied in behalf of the visiting delegates. 



The president's address brought up 

 some keen discussions on two or three 

 points, the most noticeable of which was 

 the tariff; this gave the politicians a 

 chance to give us some of their speeches 

 they had left over from last election. 

 It was considered that many changes 

 •vere necessary to properly readjust the 

 tariff to suit the present day needs, and 

 as the government has appointed a spe- 

 cial tariff commission to go through the 

 p-ountry and get reports, it was decided 

 to have a special committee from the 

 association address the commission. The 

 o.hanges that it was felt should be made 

 «pill not materially affect the amount 

 <»f duty to be collected. It was finally 

 decided to stand by the report passed at 

 the last convention at Ottawa. 



Mr, W. Manda, of South Orange, N. 

 J., was present and took part in the dis- 

 cussion. He made some good sugges- 

 tions, and very ably upheld his free- 

 trade ideas. He thought that many of 

 the restrictions that were put upon trade 

 by the several countries were never in- 

 tended by our Creator. Certain localities, 

 he said, were specially adapted to grow 

 certain things, and he thought it a shame 

 that a tariff bill should be put out to re- 

 strict the market. He considered that it 

 was different with manufactured articles ; 

 with manufactured articles the difference 



in manufacturing them in one place from 

 in another was not as a rule very great, 

 nor was the loss as great to all con- 

 cerned as with commodities of the green- 

 house or field. 



The reports of the secretary, treas- 

 urer and standing committees were read 

 and adopted. The judges of the trade 

 exhibit presented their report and award- 

 ed as follows: 



D. J. Sinclair, Toronto, certificate of 

 merit for florists' supplies. Campbell 

 Bros., Simcoe, certificate of merit for 

 new varieties of gladioli. Dupuy & Fer- 

 guson, Montreal, diploma for specially 

 well selected collection of gardeners' 

 tools. Hall & Bobinson, Montreal, di- 

 ploma for collection of small ferns. Spe- 

 cial mention was also made of display of 

 well made flower pots exhibited by the 

 Foster Pottery Co., Hamilton, Ont., also 

 for exhibit of Campbell 's vaporizers 

 made by Blackie Bros., Halifax; these 

 were specially recommended by some of 

 the delegates present who had used them. 



The evening session was opened with 

 an illustrated lecture on park designs by 

 Frederick G. Todd, Montreal; this was a 

 most interesting lecture, the lecturer 

 using some 300 slides showing the park 

 systems of the best cities of the United 

 States and Canada. Especially did he 

 dwell on the park system in Boston, and 

 dwelling on the advantage of having a 

 definite system in connection with parks. 



Mr. Thos. McHugh, gardener to For- 

 est and Stream Club, Dorval, Quebec, 

 gave an essay on "How to Keep a 

 Greenhouse Attractive in Winter, ' ' which 

 must have taken much time in prepara- 

 tion. His list of plants to grow at dif- 

 ferent seasons with their full botanical 

 names evoked much merriment amongst 

 the younger members of the craft, as the 

 long Latin names somewhat resembled the 

 roll call in the Bussian army. Mr. Mc- 

 Hugh had the satisfaction of not only 

 being complimented on his paper but 

 heard many complimentary remarks on 

 the condition of the greenhouses of 

 which he has charge. 



The paper on "How to Keep Grounds 

 Attractive in Summer," by Mr. Bur- 

 rows, gardener to R. B. Angus, of St. 

 Anne de Bellevue, was very interesting 

 and it might be remarked after visiting
