Brantford shows W him to have been tall, erect and maj- estic, with the air of one born "to command. He was in -fact a man of war from his boyhood, and though `eh. doubt was sometimes thrown on his:G` loyalty, he never betrayed it. Helsh, visited England in 1775 `and created no little excitement in court circles with his Indian dress and his suavity, and diplomacy. He was always the I pr w< co ~.

A greatly increased interest in horticulture was reported at the an- nual" meeting of the Ontario Horti- cultural Association,_held in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, last `week. There were over two hundred dele- gates in attendance, representing societies from Glengarry to Fort William. During the year thirty new - societies were organized and the membership reachdyna total` of over _40,000'. In 1922 two township soci- ieties were organized adjacent to |Guelph.s These are the only town- lship societies, biit the hope was ex- ipressed by several speakers that the Iworl might spread to many rural Vicommu`nities`.'. _ 11- vvllllslulllulua At the opening session an address 3 gwas given by the Hon. Manning Do: uherty, in which he spoke of the splen.- ` did work the horticulturists are do- `ing for Ontario. A novelfeature igwas a talk-on nut culture Ky J.

In the afternoon, many very :`helpful hints on the growingrof mel- ; ons, tomatoes and asparagus were : given by H. Secord of St. Catharines. i Bloom from Snow to Snow was 'the topic of a very intefesting paper by Geo. Simpson of Ottawa, showim: ihow to maintain a succession o 43. bloom. To the glad. fan the mo.tl ' enjoyable part of -this session was the ltime taken up by Dr. Bennett of St. ;Thomas with his illustrated talk on , Gladioli.

One `thing `very `strongly recommended for keep- ing'._un the interest in horticulture was the holding ofseasonal displays 'such.as were held in Barrie last year `and which the directors propose to enlarge `upon this year. Nearly all the societies reported difficultv get- ting a decent attendance at the an. ,nual meeting. Mr. Young told of gBarrie s plan to have a lecture in `connection with the yearly business ' meeting and the delegates seemed to `think that this was a pretty` good ischeme. a It was decided to ask the :Governmentfo_r an increased grant: F130 to press for an earlier tissue of the annual report so that the valu- able information it contains may be inthe hands of the `members before Itheegardening season commences. I'l\a\r\llll`llIL)ll\-\.IO [5 Rev. W. A. Cameron gave one of `his breezy addresses that a'o1'ded much food for "thought. His subject was The Seeing Eye.
