Royal Horticultural and Arboricultural 

 Society of Ireland, 



The monthly meeting of the Council was held at 

 the offices, 5 Molosworth Street, Dublin.- on the 

 9th ult., Mr. F. V. Westby, D.L., presiding. 

 ■) udges were nominated for the Show to be held 

 on tlie 11th and 12th inst., in conjiniction with 

 the Royal Dublin Society's Show at Ballsbridge, 

 entries for which close on the 4th inst. The 

 schedule as now issued, with its liberal prize list, 

 warrants the Council in anticipating a display 

 creditable to the Society, in spite of the time 

 being not what might be termed the best for it, 

 but classes have been si)ecially framed to catch 

 the best things of mid-June. A letter was read 

 from Mr. G. Watson resigning his seat on the 

 Comicil through ill-health, and it was decided in 

 view of Mr. Watson's long and valued services to 

 the Society to ask him to postpone the matter for 

 three months. Quite a display was made for the 

 Council's insi.)ection by Mr. F. Streeter, from 

 Straffan Gardens, Co. Kildare, a silver medal 

 being awarded to him for a collection of vegetables, 

 each kind named and bearing dates of sowing;, 

 a Cultural Certificate being awarded to him for a 

 group of Schizanthus, which, with a group of 

 well-grown Cinerarias^ contributed to the interest 

 of the meeting.
