 For the Year 1834. 



By the BIRMINGHAM HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY to Mr. 

 John Willmore, for having exhibited, during- the past year, many 

 fine hybrids, of superior merits, raised from seeds at Oldford, of 

 Calceolarias, Ericas, Petunia, Willmoreana and Amaryllis Willmoreana. 



By the GLASGOW HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY to Mr. 

 William Gowans, Gardener to Mrs. Charles Stirling, of Cadder, 

 Lanarkshire, for his skill in the cultivation of the Vine, and for his 

 statement respecting its management. 



Note by the Secretary. 



The considerable reduction in the number of Medals presented to Provincial 

 Societies during the two latter years has been owing to various changes in the rules 

 adopted relative to the awarding them. After much consideration, the following 

 general Regulations were at length agreed upon last summer, and have been 

 transmitted to the different Societies, several of which have already signified their 

 intention of entering into correspondence on the proposed terms. 



Extracts from the Minutes of Council of Wth January, 183 I. 



" The Council of the Horticultural Society of London, looking to the extent to 

 which their example has been followed by the establishment of numerous Provinc ial 

 Societies, and to the interest which the>c Societies have excited among all classes of 

 persons residing in the country, cannot but feel highly gratified at the success which 

 has thus attended their endeavours to promote a pursuit of such general utility.
