clxx PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



3. TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAMS. 



Telephone Number : 5363 YICTORIA. 

 "HORTENSIA, SOWEST-LONDON," is sufficient address 

 for telegrams. This address counts as two words only. 



4. JOURNALS WANTED. 



The Secretary would be greatly obliged by the return to the Society 

 of ANY NUMBERS of the Journal which may be of no further use 

 to Fellows. Complete sets are occasionally applied for, but, at the 

 present moment, not even one can be supplied owing to the stock of 

 the following being exhausted : — 



VOLUME IV. Part 14. VOLUME XIV. 



VOLUME V. Part 1. VOLUME XV. Parts 2 and 3. 



VOLUME X. VOLUME XXXVIII. Part 3. 



VOLUME XIII. Part 1. 

 These are, therefore, particularly asked for. 



5. SUBSCRIPTIONS. 



All annual subscriptions are payable in advance on the 1st day of 

 January in each year. A Fellow, if elected before the 1st of July, shall 

 pay the annual subscription for the current year ; if elected after the 1st 

 of July and before the 1st of October, he shall pay half a year's subscrip- 

 tion ; if elected after the 1st of October and before the 1st of January, he 

 shall pay at the time of his election the full amount of his subscription 

 for the year commencing from the 1st day of January then next, and 

 no further subscription until the next succeeding 1st of January. To 

 avoid the inconvenience of remembering their subscriptions Fellows can 

 compound by the payment of one lump sum in lieu of all further annual 

 payments ; or they can, by applying to the Society, obtain a form of 

 instruction to their bankers to pay for them every January 1. It may 

 be a week or more before the Tickets reach the Fellows, owing to the 

 very large number (over 20,000) to be despatched within the first month 

 of the year. Fellows who have not already given an order on their 

 bankers for the payment of their subscriptions each year are requested 

 to do so, as this method of payment is preferred, and saves the Fellows 

 considerable trouble. 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. 



In paying their subscriptions, Fellows often make the mistake 

 of drawing their cheques for Pounds instead of for Guineas. Kindly 

 note that in all cases it is Guineas, and not Pounds. Cheques and 

 Postal Orders should be made payable to " The Royal Horticultural 

 Society," and crossed " London County and Westminster Bank 

 Victoria Branch, S.W."
