R. J. Homewood, the president, presided, and several took part in the discussions. Mrs. D. W. Stewart, who has one of the nest ower gardens in Bar- rie, gave an intereisting paper on her experience in ower cultirre. Mrs. Stewart has 87 varieties of owers, and supplies hundreds of citizens with plants every year. She grows perennials almost exclusively, as she nds that these require less atten- tion and you always know just what you are going .to have. Mrs. Stew- art nds real pleasure in her {lower ' garden and gives pleasure to others who view her garden so often. Miss Campbell gave a paper on her experience in growing` owers on light soil. Miss Campbell has won- derful success in ower culture on sandy land. She uses a good lleal of fertilizer and waters frequently and thoroug'h1_\'. Frequent cultiva- tion and planting as early as pos- sible ensures rapid growth. Mr. P. Love spoke on growing gladioli on heavy soil. Mr. Love is one of our most successful flower g'rowers and what knowledge he has he has gained from experience. He prepares the soil in the fall by manuring and thorough cultivation. His land being heavy clay sand, lime and ashes are sometimes worked in. The g'ladioli bulblots he nds comes truer to the parent stalk than the largze bulbs. Gladioli should not be crovrded in with other plants, as they require lots of air and cultivation. The small bulbs should be started c~arl_\', and nmy be soaked for 24 hours before }')la1ltlI1_:'. Cultivate often and water thoroug'hl_V not more than twice a week. Mr. Love has upward of 90 varieties and invites 5-.n_\' one lfllC(`l`l3. to visit his 5.-'arden when the plants are in bloom. Al- tojx:-tl1e1' Mr. Love _L`.'1'0WS about 5000 |plants each year. VI..\ T7.

Mr. Denny was born near Belfast, Ireland, in the county of Down, Ireland, on May 16, 1842, coining; to Cookstown forty-three years ago, later moving; to Baxter, where he resided until his death. He was a staunch Conservative and a faithful member of the Baxter Pres- bylterian church, where he was super- intendent of the Sunday School for thirty-seven years and an elder for thirty-two. The funeral was held from his late residence on Wednes- day, April 22. There are let to mourn his loss three sons and two dau,Q'hters, Charles, Alex., Hugh, Mrs. John Gauiley and Mrs. Wm. Fleming`, all of Essa; four sisters and one bro- ther, Mrs. J. LeGrow, Toronrto; Mrs. Richard Mcl{nip,'lit, Baxter; Mrs. Robt.

Now that the voting in congrega- tions is practically over in seven provinces, it is possible to review the situation from the national stand- point, and from the point of view of the United Church of Canada. We will begin with Ontario, since the votng in that province has been put forward as an argument against nv-Ann uuuvu. The ituation in Ontario from the point of view of the Presbyce1'-ian church is summarized in the follow- ing gures 2 ...v...u..;. ;.u..;\.

The non-concurring` vote in the Province of Ontario is fairly large, but it still leaves a balance of 130,- 972 Presbytetians who have not registered a vote against union. If it is not contended. that not all. of these 130,972 would vote for union, it can also be afrined that not all of those Presbylierians who voted non-concurrence will refuse to go in- to union now that the question is finally settled and the heat of con- t1'ove1'sy has died down. It must be remembered that a large proportion. oflthose who voted against union are now in union cong`1'e{:avtions, and most of them will remain there; while, on the other hand, thou.<.an(ls of unionists in non-concurrim_.-j con_x;Te_:;ations have already with- drawn or are covenanteil to enter the United Church on June 10. 1. 1 II 1 1 I um. -..;..;;. uux. .
