Few of the Society's meetings thus early in the year after such an 

 unfavourable season have been brighter or more interesting than the 

 one held on this occasion. Plants were exhibited in large numbers, 

 one side of the conservatory being entirely occupied with groups of 

 Orchids, Cyclamens, Cinerarias, and miscellaneous flowering and 

 foliage plants, while in the Council Room were arranged a number 

 of rarities of considerable interest horti culturally and botanically. 

 The Fruit Committee had nothing whatever to do, for there was not 

 a single entry of fruits or vegetables.
