bers, and to attach a greater importance to a "central position" 

 — a position " in town," than such an advantage (?) is worth. 

 In the first place the " crowds " do not flock to special shows 

 of a horticultural nature. It has never yet been proclaimed 

 from the housetops that the National Rose Show at St. James's 

 Hall was a "brilliant Euccess " — not more successful, indeed, 

 than the Rose Shows at "the Palaces." The Auricula Show 

 at the Crystal Palace was well attended, perhaps better than 

 any other special show of the year, but has it resulted in an 

 accession of members to the Auricula Society ? The Carnation 

 Show at the Aquarium was worthy of far more of publiopatronage 

 than it received, for although Roses were there also, visitors 

 were scant; and the same maybe said of the Potato Show; 

 and this, in addition, may be said in regard to the Aquarium 

 — and few impartial observers can deny it — that a horticultural 

 Bhow cannot be enjoyed there during the afternoon, the only 

 time when many visitors can attend. 



It appears to me as one interested in horticulture, yet having 

 no particular connection with any one society — that is, having 

 no bias towards one over the other either large or small, but 

 desirous of seeing all prosper, that the first condition to secure 

 in a horticultural society is a horticultural status. A mere 

 11 company " alliance will not secure this, because the chief 

 objects and sympathies of the two are foreign in their nature. 

 What will secure it and promote what so many are desirous of 

 seeing — -true horticultural progress? I prefer putting the 

 matter in the form of questions. Would it not be desirable for 

 special and purely horticultural societies to be regarded as 

 branches of a central head having branch — subsidiary — shows 

 in alliance with that head ? If it is desirable, is it practicable.
