a. Income. 
The Income of the Society during the year 1870 reached 
the large total of £23,257 13s. 9d., showing an increase 
over the Income of the preceding year of £488 15s. 5d. 
As will be seen by the subjoined Table, in which a com- 
parison of the receipts of the two years is given, the main 
items of increase are from admissions to the Society’s 
Gardens and from Garden Sales, while the only head 
under which any noticeable decrease has taken place is 
that of admission-fees, arising from the smaller number of 
Fellows elected in 1870 than in 1869.
