Doors open from 3 to 5 ami 7 to 10 p.m. The local Horticultural Society, during its past fifteen or sixteen vears’ existence, lias done a great deal towards fostering, the cult of the beautiful in our little community and is worthy of the heartiest support of al! who are in any way interested in the cultivation of plant life.

An institution which' encourages an appreciation of the beautiful in any respect, takes its place high up among tilings educational, as well as aesthetic for in matters of agriculture, horticulture and floriculture are in a great measure contained the basic strata of society/To agriculture we turn for our world supplies of grain and root crops,.etc., to horticulture for our equally necessary fruit, awl to floriculture for the presentation of nature’s most exquisite handiwork, in a riot of col/ our blended in the most perfect manner. Back to nature, and to floriculture do we go for inspiration and unfailing direction in the blending of the-simplest or most.varied colour schemes. f
