The Horticultural Society.
2o the Editor of the Standard. Sir,— The forthcoming Show of the Greytowu Horticultural Society will, I can see, be a big one. The new Secretary has smitten the people hip and thigh with his subscription list and burst my buttons, if I don’t think all the people in the Valley will send ia some' thing to win one of the innumerable prizes. It’s just the way with everything ia Grey, town—the people get lazy I thiuk, and let everything go down to the lowest. Then somebody starts a rumour that there will soon be a funeral service over the corpse oi some public body and the people at once repent, almost ia sackcloth and ashes, and efforts are made to resuscitate it. Take the Literary Institute for instance. Just is the nick of time some one proposed a series of concerts and everbody fell in with it. And what a success they have proved. Now the Horticultural Society has made a sudden leap into public favor and I sdppoae there will be one of the largest exhibitions that has yet been held, taking place next December. 1 hope the committee will thoroughly revise the cate* logne and make it attraetiva to exhibitors in every class. Yours 40, Dandelion.
