I.ITERARY SOCIE rY The Literary Society in con- riection with the United Church has arranged to hold its first meeting on Thursday, October 3rd, at 8 p. m., when the inaug- ural address will be given by Dr. E. A. Henry on "Carlyle and 'Sartor Resartus'." Carlyle and his famous book have been partially snowed und- er by a multitude of later and less masculine ivriters. It is well worth while to have his philos- (;phy of life re-stated, especially by a lecturer like Dr. Henry, who has been a student of Car- lyle for years, and whose expo- sition of the subject will be equ- ally marked by weight and pene- tration. Even though we are riot all Scots, we shall all be the better for having our interest in the great Scotsman revived and broadened. 1(EDISON COIIAIITTED lN AUTO DE ATH CASE James Remson, Devonshire A- partments, Vancouver, driver of the automobile which on the night of August 24 crashed into the railing of Sherman bridge, killing De St. Denis Duchesnay and injuring i~Iiss Helen Dalzeles and Miss Elizabeth Silbernagle of Vancouver, passengers, was committed for trial on a man- slaughter charge by Alagistrate Gordon Robson in Police Court on IVednesday morning.

I/ tl Grapes in IVest Vancouver )Vest Vancouver has an envi- able reputation for the fruit grown in its gardens. This week we were shown and tasted some Concord grapes grown by iAIr. G. Bulkley of "Dreamy Nook," 26th and Bellevue. These grapes both in size and flavor compare very favorably with any produced in the grape growing sections of Essex County and the Niagara peninsula in Ontario. This is a wonderful record for a place as far north as AVest Vancouver. Frank Cope of Net Westmin- ster was last wednesday fined $40 at the IVest Vancouver police court. J.

We are told that "procrastina- tion is the thief of time," so I would again urge our present directors of the Horticultural So- ciety and the future ones too, to get together over the ~larine north boulevards or by procras- tination they will be all grown over again. Have we no public spirited men to get together and form an old fashioned "bee" (a la prairie farmers) and by asking the help of the municipal board of works an«engineer for a couple of men once in so often to join them, have quite a ion„ piece of the north side boule- vards finished before winter sets in. This leads me to express my opinion that the one and only per- son someone named "Ray" who attempted making a decent boul- evard should have had the best prize in the show by showing his willingness to try as this is for the benefit of the whole pub- lic. Please let us have an effort made to impress our visitors with a decent entrance and con- tinuation all the way to IVhyte- cliff. As a suggestion, I would pro- pose beginning at the Cenotaph, the little piece east and west of it, or will the Board of AVorks kindly make that beginning for iis . Yours for IVest Van., M. BULKLEY. P.S.--i4lr. Bulkley is proud of the Concord grapes he has been able to grow in our own AVest Vancouver, and as a monument to his efforts he has made a re- plica of a Dutch o%ndmill of stone and cement with 4 sweeps making quite an ornament to his garden. M. B. If you have delayed trans- planting your iris, it may be suc- cessfully undertaken at this time. The common bearded iris will grow even after lying around until it is almost dried up. It is well to treat the better sorts with more consideration however If there is evidence of root rot make sure that every particle is removed with a knife before replacing. The roots should be washed with corrosive sublimate solution, and dusted with powd- ered sulphur. If the plants are badly infested it is well to re- move them to new location after treatment. Sometimes large bor- ers are found in the roots; if you lind them dig them out and kill them. Chrysanthemums should be given extra care and attention at this time to insure a full show of bloom. A teaspoonful of nitrate of soda placed near, but »ot on the roots every two weeks is beneficial. 9'ater well. Peonies may be divided and re- planted this month. Before the transplanting is done the new lo- cation should be prepared by thoroughly digging in quantities of wel] rotted manure as they re- quire a very rich soil. Spade deeply, but do not plant the crowns more than a couple of inches below the surface. It is not too early to order your bulbs. The selection will be wider rrow than later, and for midwinter bloom indoors you will want to start them next month. Gather up the leaves and dis- cnnlerl plants for the compost heap. Diseased plant material should of course be burried. Cutting. of such perennials as rock«ress, sea-thrift, pinks and snow-in-summer placed in the cold frame will be ready for spring. The pansies sown in August may be transplanted to the re- quired locations now. Phlox seeds planted this month and given a good cover- ing of litter just before frost will nearly ahvays bloom the folio¹ ing year.
