NOTICES TO FELLOWS.

will be addressed exactly as given by each Fellow on his application 

 form. It has been found impracticable to despatch plants by post owing 

 to the lack of Post Office facilities at Wisley and Kipley. 



Fellows residing beyond a radius of thirty-five miles from London 

 are permitted to choose double the number of plants to which they are 

 otherwise entitled. 



Plants cannot be sent to Fellows residing outside the United King- 

 dom, owing either to length of time in transit or to vexatious regulations 

 in some foreign countries ; but the Council will at any time endeavour to 

 obtain for Fellows living abroad any unusual or rare seeds which they 

 may have been unable to procure in their own country. 



15. POPPY SEED. 



The Secretary will be pleased to send a packet of his 1907 crop of 

 Shirley Poppy Seed to any Fellows who like to send to Rev. W. Wiles. 

 Shirley Vicarage, Croydon, a stamped envelope ready addressed to them- 

 selves. The seed should be sown as early as possible in March. This 

 is an offer made by the Secretary in his private capacity, and it causes 

 much inconvenience when requests for seed are mixed up with letters 

 sent to the office in London instead of as above directed. 



16. THE SOCIETY'S HALL AND OFFICES. 



The Royal Horticultural Hall and Offices are situated in Vincent 

 Square, which lies straight through Ashley Gardens from Victoria Street, 

 Westminster, and is about five minutes' walk from the Victoria and St. 

 James's Park Stations. 



17. LETTING OF HALL. 



Fellows are earnestly requested to make known among their friends 

 and among other institutions that the Royal Hoeticultukal Hall is 

 available, twelve days in each fortnight, for Meetings, Shows, Exhibitions, 

 Concerts, Conferences, Lectures, Balls, Banquets, Bazaars, Receptions, 

 and other similar purposes. The Hall has a floor surface of 13,000 square 

 feet. It is cool in summer and warm in winter. For a Concert it will 

 seat 1,500, or for a public meeting 1,800. It is undoubtedly the lightest 

 Hall in London, and its acoustic properties are pronounced excellent 

 by some of our greatest authorities. The charges, which are very 

 moderate, include lighting, warming in winter or cooling the air in 

 summer, seating, and the use of trestle-tabling and platform. The first 

 floor, consisting of four fine rooms, may also be hired for similar pur-, 

 poses, either together with or separately from the Great Hall. This accom- 

 modation can also be divided up if desired. Ample cloakrooms for ladies 

 and for gentlemen are available. In fact, the Hall is not only the most 

 suitable Hall in London for special Shows of a high-class character, but 

 it is also second only to the Queen's Hall and the Royal Albert Hall for 

 the purposes of Concerts and Meetings. Reduction is made to Charities,
