This deficiency will be somewhat lessened by the sale of the few remaining 

 copies. It would have been greater but for some generous donations, which it is 

 very pleasant to record. Mr. Arthur Hutchinson has given donations as the parts 

 appeared, amounting together to £30; and Mr. Thos. Walker, F.L.S., of Tun- 

 bridge Wells, sent a cheque for £20 with the kind request "that he mi'-ht assist 

 the Woolhope Club by contributing towards a work of such national importance." 

 These thoughtful gifts have been highly esteemed, quite apart from their value, 

 since they show so kind and generous an appreciation of the work itself. 



The Herefordshire Pomona has been printed by Messrs. Jakeman and Carver, 

 of Hereford, under the immediate superintendence of the Committee. The num- 

 ber of copies has been confined to six hundred, and the low price at which they 

 have been issued, when compared with the cost of production, has not left much 

 margin for the usual trade profits. The Woolhope Club are therefore the more 

 indebted to the Editors of the Gardeners' Chronicle, Journal of Horticulture, 

 The Gardeners' Maoazine, and other horticultural publications for their early and 

 repeated notices of the work, which have from the first, been unanimous in its 

 praise. For greater reasons still, the Club is deeply indebted to the Editors of 

 the Saturday Review, Blackwood's Magazine, and the Edinburgh Quarterh, Heview, 

 for the very full and generous notices they have given of the work, which have 

 not only greatly encouraged the Committee, but have aided materially in the sale 

 of the Pomona.
