The course proved highly satisfactory, and the average attend- 

 ance was 12-4, considerably larger than that of recent years. The 

 papers presented at these meetings have been published in full in 

 the Transactions for 1907 Part I. 



The committee considers these annual courses of lectures on 

 horticultural subjects as important aids in the work of the Society, 

 and it should be remembered that a much larger audience is reached 

 through their publication than is present at the hearing of them.
