rormed stouff vilie horticultural society was held in ratcliffs hall on wednesday evening last week the speaker was mr george moore of islington whose knowledge ot flowers and plants appeared to be inexhaustible at the outset mr moore commended the local society for adopting as their motto the words beauty brings business and he showed in a variety of ways how it worked out in actual fact beautification begins at home he said therefore each member should start there to make improvements in speaking about lawns he advised against planting shrubs in the centre of the green the proper idea was to work out a border effect frame your lawn in this border in much the same manner as you would frame a picture it the border is to be planted with perennials then keep out the shrubs and if it is to be planted with shrubs then keep out the perennials as the two do not thrive well together he thought shrubs were preferrable j to perennials and the- planting should be done in groups of 3 to 5 of a kind with the tall plants to the back and lowest to the front make your selection and do the planting so that there will be a continuous form of beauty 3ll season and not merely for a few weeks if stouffvilie would advance in population the greatest opportunity is through making the town beautiful beauty is greater than power and factories are looking for beautiful towns to locate in american autoists are looking for beauty there is a moral side to tho question also for the child who is taught to love beauty and i surrounded with these things which speak- of love and goodness has a chance even if they had a shady inheritance owing to the lateness at which the meeting closed the intended drive for members for the society could not be carried out but we understand there will be
