At the Harvey Tercentenary celebrations in April, severs.! of 

 our members attended the Hajrvey Memorial lectures at the Leas 

 Cliff Hall, Some of us v/ere thus able to hear and meet some 

 f amour British and foreign doctors, 



Dr, W.A.M, Smart of Golders G-reen, asked for a specimen of 

 Scurvy Grass^ Living and pressed specimens of Cochlearia 

 danica L, were sent, and in his letter of thanks he stated that 

 they have been put in the hospital museum in an upright panel 

 alongside a facsimile of the front page of Lord's book on 

 S c orbutus ( 1 754) • 



At the Folkestone Plov/er Show we v/ere awarded a bronze medal; 

 this viras all the more gratifying as, ov/ing to the prolonged 

 drought, material was very difficult to obtain, and further we 

 were allotted an awk^/vard shaped stand. 



We also exhibited at the Kent Produce Show at the IvILarine 

 Gardens Pavilion in September, where we were able to stage a more 

 varied and colourful show than in the summer, A basket of native 

 everlastings attracted a good deal of attention, and the wild 

 ordginals of garden vegetables made an amusing contrast to the 

 giant celery, outsize cabbages and yard long parsnips staged 

 nearby. We received a letter of appreciation for the very- 

 efficient work of the stewardSo At the same shov;- our President 

 was awarded the EoRo Bugg^ Challenge Trophy for nine varieties of 

 hardy fruit from trees planted as a result of one of our Society's 

 lectiires. 



Miss G. Fellows, with the help of IVIrSo Walton, has 

 maintained the Cheriton exhibit, which h^s been much appreciated, 

 A notice of thanks to those responsible for the mid flower 

 exhibits has been received from the toT-vn,, Charles Rowlands, of 

 Dover, has painted the Kentish orchids and presented the paintings 

 to the Library. 



An eventful year.
