Forest Gate and Stratford Amateur Chrysan¬ 
themum Society. 
The sixteenth annual general meeting 
of this society was held on February 6th, 
in the Public Hall, Forest Gate, when 
there was a very large attendance of mem¬ 
bers. Mr. Councillor E. W. Wordley 
presided. The report and balance sheet 
were unanimously adopted. Mr. Worclley 
was again re-elected chairman, Mr. G. 
Stening vice-chairman, Mr. Wordley 
hon. treasurer, in the place of Mr. T. 
Smith, and Mr. A. E. Cresswell secre¬ 
tary'. The following gentlemen were 
elected as committee for 1907 :—Messrs. 
Davis, Willett, Griffiths, Redmill, Welch, 
Towndrow, Mooring, Clements, Warren, 
Ward. Golding, Mitchell, White, Palmer, 
Parker, Crick, Cornwell, Beer, Butler, 
and W. J. Smith. Messrs. W. J. Stride 
and W. A. Sturrock, F.R.H.S., were 
again elected auditors. Mr. W. J. Stride 
said he wished (as one of the auditors) to 
congratulate the secretary on the very ex¬ 
cellent manner in which he had kept the 
accounts of the society; it was a real plea¬ 
sure for him and his co-auditor to go 
through his papers and books. Mr. W. A. 
Sturrock (co-auditor) said he wished to 
heartily endorse Mr. Stride's remarks. 
Some seventeen new members were en¬ 
rolled, and the proceedings were marked 
with the greatest enthusiasm throughout. 
The Ulster Horticultural Society 
had a very successful show last year, and 
they got the credit of giving great en¬ 
couragement in the production of fruits, 
flowers and vegetables. They have greatly 
stimulated the improved cultivation of 
hardy fruits.

A Fruitgrowers’ association for Coupar 
Angus (Perthshire) and district was re¬ 
cently formed, when the following office¬ 
bearers were elected;—President, Mr. T.

Messrs. L. Anderson and W. Laing; com¬ 
mittee, Messrs. Leslie (Denhead), Whitson

A Remedy for Wireworms. —In a;- 
cently-issued Board of Agriculture leal, 
the use of bisulphide of carbon is s(- 
gested as a remedy for wireworms 11 
flower beds and borders. In its api- 
cation the following points may e 
noted.— 
1. The soil must not be too wet or 0 
dry at the time of use, and after apply? 
it there should be no cultural operati - 
for a week at the very least, longer wod 
be better. 2. The treatment should e 
in time—i.e., whenever the plants e 
known to be attacked, not when they e 
dying off. 3. Make a hole with a sti. 
beginning 3 or 4 inches from the ph- 
and passing down in an oblique direct 1 
till a point is reached rather below e 
root, 4. Pour in a tea-spoonful of - 
sulphide of carbon for each plant treat • 
and quickly stamp the soil in over 
hole and press down. 5. The materl 
must not touch the roots; the liquid vl 
harm the plant but the vapour is har 
less.
