The Secretary reported that the period had arrived when it 

 was necessary to consider the reconstruction of the Committee. 

 He proposed as an outline of the plan, that the Committee should 

 consist of representatives of all horticultural interests, and should 

 embrace individuals chosen from Amateurs, Professional Gar- 

 deners, Nurserymen, Seedsmen, Market Gardeners, and Fruit- 

 erers ; that it should he selected from these classes resident in 

 or near London, so as to secure a good attendance at the meet- 

 ings ; and that it should not be confined to Fellows of the 

 Society only. A Sub-Committee was appointed to consider the 

 subject, and report thereon. 



The following presentations to the Experimental Department 

 at Chiswick, were announced : — 



Messrs. Adams & Co., Acton Green— 4 sorts of Plums, 1 Cherry.
