GARDENING LECTURE
Horticultural Society An illustrated lecture was given in the Vogelmorn Hall last week, in connection with the Vogeltown-Morning-ton Horticultural Society, by Mr. W. C. Hyde, on garden planning and planting. In introducing the lecturer, Mr. W. S. Mason, president of the society, said that the large audience was an indication that the society was fulfilling the object for which it was organised—to foster and encourage horticulture among the residents of the district. ■ Mr. Hyde, during the course of an interesting and instructive lecture, pointed out the mistakes that are often made in the planning and planting of gardens. Gardens, said Mr. Hyde, should be planted with flowers, shrubs, and trees, suited to the soil and aspect of the site. For instance, agapantbus should be planted on a warm, dry hillside, while hydrangeas should be planted in moist, semi-shaded situations. A number of pictures of old world gardens were shown on the screen. The lecture was greatly appreciated by the audience, and Mr. Hyde was invited to give another lecture, as soon as it can be arranged for.
