JOUENAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
on at least £100 being raised by subscription each year towards the 
Prize Fund. The Show involves the Society in a very large expenditure 
without the possibility of any financial return. The Council have there- 
fore established the rule that they will not continue it unless sufficient 
interest in it is taken by Fellow^s and their friends to provide £100 
tow^ards the Prize Fund. And this will in the coming year 1900 be even 
more important than heretofore, as the Directors of the Palace have 
signified to the Council that they feel compelled to decrease their con- 
tribution by £50. A glance at the list of subscribers will show how 
small has been the interest taken by the bulk of the Fellows. The 
Council would point out that this is not a local show with a few large 
prizes, but that a multitude of small prizes have been arranged in order 
to secure the best fruits in each section, special prizes have been allotted 
to market growers, and Counties have been grouped in such a way that 
growers should not have to compete with exhibitors from localities more 
favoured by climatic conditions. These points will be still further ex- 
tended should sufficient financial support be forthcoming. Subscrip- 
tions should be sent at once to the Secretary, 117 Victoria Street, 
Westminster.
