TRIALS PROPOSED AT CHISWICK, 1897. 



215 



A Catalogue prepared by Mr. John Weathers is now ready for 

 the press, and certain sums have been received towards the, 

 expenses of its publication ; but, as these are quite inadequate for 

 the purpose, further donations are earnestly solicited. 



The annual income at the disposal of the Trustees is very 

 small, and only sufficient to enable them to purchase and bind 

 the current periodicals and a few standard books. 



Donations of books and illustrations of horticultural and 

 botanical interest, as well as of funds for the maintenance and 

 development of the Library, will be thankfully received by the 

 Trustees, 



W. Carruthers, Esq., F.R.S. 



Dr. Robert Hogg, LL.D. 



Dr. Maxwell T. Masters, F.R.S. 



Harry J. Veitch, Esq., F.L.S. 



Philip Crowley, Esq., F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



Rev. W. Wilks, M.A.
