The annual meeting of this Society was called last week, but so few were present at the meeting that it was decided to adjourn it until a later in a Well watered. Appry| VV date. We have about 180 members, and they have shown their interest in the work of the Society by making good gardens, and by taking good advan- tage of the option list. In addition to this, many members availed theni- selves of the opportunity of buying special plants and shrubs. When it ¢omes to the annual meei- ing most of the hundred and thirty persons think that the others will be there to do the business required, and the result is that it is not done. There should be a keener interest taken in this very worth while work. The objects of the Horticultural So- ciety are very important-to a place like Port Perry. When the next meeting is called, it is hoped that a practical speaker will * be called who will discuss the Making of a Garden. Of this adjourned meeting due notice wil be given. In the meantime, pleasé remepiber that the fees are due, and Jou are requested to pay the treasurer, Miss Evelyn Alexander at an early date, When the option list is made up, De supplied with one, and you will privileges. pes gM nt.
