Irish Forestry Society. 



Fhe Executive Committee met at the offices, 12 



'liege Green, Dublin, on Tuesday evening last, 

 -oih April, 191 1, at 5 o'clock p.m., the members 

 present being Mr. William Dick (in the Chair), O. H. 

 Braddell, LS.O., A. E. Moeran, W. F. Bunn, Mr. 

 Charles Dawson (Joint Hon. Secretary), and A. H. 

 Walkey, Secretar}'. 



The Secretary read the following resolution received 

 from the Ballymena Rural District Council : — " That 

 this Rural Council consider that the Irish Forestry 

 Society ought to have a bye-law to enable an auxiliary 

 branch of that Society to be established in each county 

 in Ireland. 



"That each County Council should appoint a sub- 

 committee of their Agricultural Committee to take 

 action and give advice on all matters concerning the 

 duties and powers of the Council in relation to the 

 acquisition of land for afforestation or tree-planting." 

 The questions raised are under the careful consideration 

 of the Committee. V^arious correspondence was also 

 dealt with. 



In view of the large number of persons who, although 

 they have no practical knowledge of forestry or sylvi- 

 culture, take considerable interest in the objects and 

 aims of the Society, the rules and bye-laws have been 

 amended by providing for a class of "Associate" 

 Members (ladies or gentlemen) at a subscription of 5s. 

 per annum. 



Novelty in the Flower Garden 



IN these days the keen amateur is always on the look-out for some- 

 thing different from anything possessed hy his neighbours. We 

 have no objection to that. On the contrary, it is our business to hunt 

 up all the best and newest things in plants and seeds from all parts 

 of the world. A perusal of our New Seed Catalogue, which contains 

 12 pages of descriptions of novelties, will reveal many choice things 

 not to be found in any other list. Latest novelties in Sweet Peas, 

 hardy perennials, annuals, and miscellaneous seeds. These will mostly 

 be found priced lower than by any other first-class house, especially 

 the Sweet Peas, of which we are large growers.
