X PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



1902, or they can be obtained from the Society's Office, 117 Victoria 

 Street, S.W. The Council express the hope that Fellows will now actively 

 promote the affiliation of Local Horticultural or Cottage Garden Societies 

 in their own immediate neighbourhood. 



31. On the kind invitation of the Earl and Countess Ilchester the 

 Council have decided to hold a Conference on and Exhibition of Roses at 

 Holland House, Kensington, in connection with one of the ordinary fort- 

 nightly Meetings of the Society. This Conference and Show will take 

 place on Tuesday, June 24. The Exhibition of Flowers will be continued 

 on Wednesday 25 unless it should be found impracticable on account of 

 the arrangements for His Majesty's Coronation, in which case due notice 

 will be given. A special Schedule of Prizes has been prepared with the 

 kind co-operation of the National Rose Society, and will be found incor- 

 porated with the Arrangements, 1902. Fellows are particularly 

 requested to correct the dates given for this Conference on their tickets, 

 most of which had been printed before the date of the Coronation was 

 announced. 



32. At the request of some of the Fellows, the Council have arranged 

 to send (in the week preceding it) a reminder of every Show to any Fellow 

 who will send to the R.H.S. Office, 117 Victoria Street, Westminster, 

 twenty-four Halfpenny Post Cards, fully addressed to himself, or to 

 whomsoever he wishes the reminder sent. 



33. The Programme for the ensuing year will be found in the 

 Arrangements for the year 1902, lately issued to all Fellows. 



34. Subjoined is the usual Revenue and Expenditure Account, with 

 the Balance Sheet for the year ending December 31, 1901.
