 show their tickets on entering the Demonstration Room. There are also 

 Special Prizes offered for Home Bottled and Preserved Fruit. Schedules 

 of the Prizes, &c., can now be obtained by sending a stamped and directed 

 foolscap envelope to the Society's Office, 117 Victoria Street, S.W. 



NEW FELLOWS. 



The Centenary of the Society in March 1904 is fast approaching, and 

 the Secretary is most anxious to double the number of Fellows before 

 that eventful date. Will every Fellow assist him by sending in the 

 name of at least one new Fellow during the present year ? 



LECTURES dc. 



Any Fellows willing to Lecture or to communicate Papers on 

 interesting subjects are requested to communicate with the Secretary. 



SUBSCRIPTIONS. 



All Subscriptions fall due on January 1 of each year. To avoid the 

 inconvenience of remembering this, Fellows can compound by the pay- 

 ment of one lump sum in lieu of all further annual payments ; or they 

 can, by applying to the Secretary, obtain a form of instruction to their 

 bankers to pay for them every January 1. Fellows whose subscriptions 

 remain unpaid are debarred from all the privileges of the Society; but 

 their subscriptions are nevertheless recoverable at law, the Society being 

 incorporated by Royal Charter. 



DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS &c. 



A list of plants to choose from was sent to every Fellow on January 

 31 (as it is every year) enclosed m the Report of the Council for last year, 

 and the ballot for order of distribution was made on March 1. All 

 Fellows participate in the yearly distribution in the March folloiuing their 

 election. No distribution can be made later in the year, though, from the 

 large number of Fellows to be served, it is often the end of April before 

 the March distribution is completed. 



DRAC/ENAS. 



The Superintendent, R.H.S. Gardens, Chiswick, W., would be greatly 

 obliged for any old plants of Dracicnas, however old and leggy they may 

 be. Please shake out all the earth from the roots and send to Chiswick.
