THE 



RULES AND REGULATIONS 



OF A 



FLORISTS' SOCIETY. 



I HERE beg to present the reader, by way of Appen- 

 dix,, with the substance at least of the Rules and 

 Regulations of two Societies of Florists, which were 

 some years ago instituted at Islington and Chelsea, 

 for encouraging the cultivation of Auriculas, Pinks, 

 and Carnations. I do this in the hope that the 

 same will not be unacceptable to the majority of my 

 readers, to the young Florists in particular, who may 

 be unacquainted with the nature of such institutions, 

 and therefore desirous of obtaining some information 

 respecting them ; they will also serve as a ready pre- 

 cedent to refer to for the establishing of rules for any 

 new society elsewhere. 



There are several others of the same description.
