Narcissus and Tulip Committee, March 31, 1908. 

 Mr. H. B. May in the Chair, and twenty-five members present. 



On the motion of the Eev, J. Jacob, seconded by Mr, P. B. Barr, the 

 following recommendation to the Council was unanimously agreed upon : 

 " That this Committee respectfully requests the Council to arrange, on an 

 early Tuesday in the year, a show which shall be especially devoted to 

 forced Daffodils and Tulips, as they consider this branch of floriculture 

 has a wide interest." 



The first week in March was suggested as a suitable time for such an 

 exhibition, as the Committee desired to see gentle forcing, rather than 

 hard forcing, encouraged. 



The Council subsequently agreed to issue invitations welcoming 

 exhibits of forced bulbs for the last meeting in February or the early 

 one in March ; and, though they could not grant the exclusive use of the 

 Hall for such a display, the Council hoped sufficient prominence would 

 be thus given to forced bulbs to meet all reasonable requirements. 



Award Recommended:— 



Silver Banksian Medal. 



To Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Blakebrook, Kidderminster, for 

 early Daffodils, including a few new varieties, notably * Mervyn,' which 

 the Committee expressed a wish to see again when grown out of doors.
