The unanimous opinion of all present 

 was that the latest banquet was in all 

 respects the best ever and nothing but 

 words of praise have been heard of it. 



The regular club meeting held April 

 20 attracted 100 members, the best au- 

 dience yet seen at an April meeting, the 

 chief attraction being a paper by L. J. 

 Eeuter, of Westerly, R. I., on the com- 

 parative values of the various forcing 

 roses. Mr. Renter's data was very inter- 

 esting and a fine discussion followed. 

 Among those taking part were: W. H. 

 Elliott, Eber Holmes, D. Finlayson, K. 

 Finlayson, Robert Cameron, P. Welch, 

 Wilfrid Wheeler, Thomas Coles, J. W. 

 Duncan, Wm. Downs, F. E. Palmer. An 



enthusiastic vote of thanks was tendered 

 the lecturer. 



The banquet committee presented its 

 financial report, which was of a satisfac- 

 tory nature. Letters of thanks were 

 voted to donors of plants and flowers. 

 Three new members were elected. There 

 was an unusually attractive lot of ex- 

 hibits, including superb antirrhinums 

 from Wm. Swan, primulas from Thomas 

 Coles and a large vase of rosy pink an- 

 nual larkspur from W. N. Craig, all of 

 which received reports of merit. E. 

 Holmes had two vases of roses and Mr. 

 Renter brought a fine bunch of My Mary- 

 land. R. Cameron received honorable 

 mention for Rhododendron praecox. Mr. 

 Holmes showed cannas and Mr. Coles a 

 collection of Alpine plants. ''
