ALTHOUGH removed a long way from the Capital of Ontario, Walkerton has proved itself a place well worthy of the trouble and expense of an annual meeting. Promptly at 8 o'clock, on Monday even- ing, Dec. 2nd, President G. C. Caston called he meeting to order, and after welcome addresses from local gentlemen, gave his annual address, in which he summed up the history of our Association, and indicated work for the future. Addresses were also given by Mr. R. M. Palmer, Horticulturist, of British Columbia, Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Toronto, and Prof. Hutt, of the O. A. C, Guelph. THE FRUIT TABLES. At our Walkerton meeting the fruit ex- hibit was a special feature. The tables were placed in the basement of the Town Hall, where the air was cool, and attracted many visitors.

Pettit, of Winona, showed an immense specimen of the Northern Spy. Please note that these imag
