clxxxii PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



PLANTS CERTIFICATED. 



A list of all the Plants, Fruits, Flowers, Vegetables, &c, certificated by 

 the Society up to January 1, 1900, has been published, price 5s., now 

 reduced to 2s. 6d. The section devoted to Orchids, interleaved with 

 lined foolscap and bound in cloth, can be obtained for Fellows by special 

 order, price 5s. 



The compilation of this volume has entailed an enormous amount of 

 labour and research, and it is hoped that many Fellows will purchase a 

 copy, not merely for the value of the information it contains, which, 

 however, is very great, but also in order to take a small share in the very 

 considerable expense necessarily incurred in the publication of such 

 a work. It can be obtained by Postal Order from the Society's Office, 

 117 Victoria Street, Westminster, S.W. 



NEW FELLOWS. 



The Centenary of the Society in March 1904 is fast approaching, and 

 the Secretary is most anxious to double the number of Fellows before 

 that eventful date. Will every Fellow assist him by sending in the 

 name of at least one new Fellow during the coming year ? 



LECTURES Ac. 



Any Fellows willing to Lecture in 1904 or to communicate Papers on 

 interesting subjects are requested to communicate with the Secretary.

 Hall, Buckingham Gate, excepting Temple Show, Holland House Show, 

 and Chiswick Show. 



It will be noticed, 1st, that by the kindness of the Earl of Ilchester the 

 Holland House Show (which last summer was so sadly marred by the 

 sudden illness of the King taking place on the very day) is to be repeated. 

 And 2ndly, that the Show of British-Grown Fruits is to be combined with 

 a Show of Vegetables, and is to be held at Chiswick instead of at the 

 Crystal Palace, where Vegetables are prohibited. Fellows are requested 

 to try and make both these Shows a success by inducing all their 

 acquaintances to attend them. 



A reminder of every Show will be sent in the week preceding to 

 any Fellow who will send to the R.H.S. Office, 117 Victoria Street, S.W., 

 a sufficient number of halfpenny cards ready addressed to himself.
