CCXXX PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



Fellows forthwith. Forms of Nomination, and of the Privileges of 

 Fellows, are bound in with every number of the Journal and the " Book 

 of Arrangements," each year. (See pp. ccxxv, ccxxvi above.) 



10. NEW FELLOWS. 



On March 6 next the Society completes its 102nd year, and before 

 that day arrives will all the Fellows do their best to extend the 

 usefulness of the Society by enlisting the sympathy of all their friends 

 and persuading them to join the ranks of the Society ? A list of the 

 privileges of Fellows w T ill be found at page ccxxvi above, and just a line 

 addressed to the Secretary, E.H.S., Vincent Square, Westminster, 

 containing the name and address of the proposed new Fellow, will 

 suffice. Should it be preferred, the Secretary will, upon receipt of a 

 postcard or letter giving the names and addresses of any persons likely to 

 join the Society, write direct and invite them to allow their names to be 

 proposed for election. 



11. AN APPEAL. 



What has been accomplished for the Society since 1887 (see page 247) 

 is largely due to the unwearied assistance afforded by a small proportion 

 of the Fellows ; but as all belong to the same Society, so it behoves each 

 one to do what he or she can to further its interests, especially in — 



1. Increasing the number of Fellows ; 



2. Extinguishing the debt on the Hall, £10,000 ; 



8. Providing a properly equipped Horticultural Research Station at 

 the Wisley Garden. 



A photographic outfit and plants are wanted at Wisley ; and books 

 are required to fill the gaps in the Library. Thus there is plenty for 

 all to do according to their individual liking : personal effort, money, 

 plants, books, are all alike needed. The Secretary, therefore, asks those 

 who read these lines to do their best to help in any of the manners above 

 indicated. (See p. 697.) 



12. THE SOCIETY'S GARDEN AT WISLEY. 



The Garden is open daily to Fellows and others showing Fellows' 

 Transferable Tickets from 9 a.m. till sunset, except on Sundays, Good 

 Friday, and Christmas Day. Each Fellow's ticket admits three to the 

 Garden. The public are not admitted. There is much of interest to be 

 seen at Wisley throughout the year. The late Mr. G. F. Wilson's garden 

 included a wild wood-garden, a bank of flowering shrubs, a series of 

 ponds and pools, and a fine collection of Japanese Iris, Primulas, Lilies, 

 Rhododendrons, The Society has added a fine collection of the best 

 varieties of hardy fruit trees and bushes, and of ornamental trees and 

 flowering Bhrubs, for the most part kindly given by the leading nursery- 

 n mil A very large sum of money has also been spent in the erection of 

 a line scries of glass-houses; of a dwelling-house for the Superintendent;
