In addition to the above : A Silver -gilt Flora Medal was awarded to Miss 

 W. M. Buttenshaw for having passed first in the Society's Examination. 

 One hundred and eighteen Bronze Banksian Medals have also been granted 

 to Cottagers' Societies. 



5. The Society's Great Show held in May in the Inner Temple Gardens 

 (by the continued kindness of the Treasurer and Benchers) was as suc- 

 cessful as ever, and was visited by their Majesties the King and Queen. 

 It is a matter of satisfaction to the Council to find that this Meeting is 

 universally acknowledged to be the leading Horticultural Exhibition of 

 this country. 



6. The best thanks of the Society are due to the Earl of Ilchester for 

 his kindness in allowing a great Show of, and Conference on, Roses 

 to be held in his park at Holland House, Kensington, on the 24th and 

 25th of June. Financially the Show was not a conspicuous success 

 owing to the fact of the King's serious illness taking place on the 24th, 

 but from every other point of view it more than fulfilled expectations. 

 The Fellows will be pleased to know that his Lordship has consented 

 to another Show being held at Holland House in the ensuing year 

 on June 25 and 2G. Fellows are requested to inform their friends of 

 this Show, so as to make it this year a financial as well as a floral 

 success. 



7. At the request of the various Societies concerned the Council have 

 arranged as follows : — 



March 21. Special Prizes for forced Hyacinths and Tulips, offered by 



the Haarlem Royal Society of Bulb-culture. 

 April 21. National Primula and Auricula Society's Show. 

 May 19. National Tulip Society's Show.
