The Rev. W. WILKS, M.A., writing on December 11, 1918, said :— 
* Itis with no little pleasure that I am able to write at the request 
of the President and Council, to tell you that the Lawrence Medal 
has been awarded to your firm for the excellent quality and great 
educational value of your frequent exhibits of Summer-sown 
Vegetables at the Society's Meetings held since war broke out. The 
ethibits themselves have shown such a high standard of cultivation, 
and have been so widely influential in increasing the food produc- 
tion of gardens during the years of the war, by demonstrating 
what could be done along the lines of this new system of 
cultivation, that the Council feel that the least they can do, now 
that the war has been brought to a happy termination, is to place 
with you this high mark of their high appreciation. As I think 
you know, the Lawrence Medal represents the highest award of the 
Society, and it is one which is never given more than once yearly.”
