Published under the Direction of The Royal Horticultural Society, 

 Vincent Square, Westminster. 



The Daffodil Year Books of the Royal Horticultural Society are 

 amongst the most interesting volumes of the garden world. The first 

 issue (1913) was sold out within a month of publication. Double the 

 quantity of the 1914 Year Book were printed, but of these only a few 

 copies remain unsold. The Year Book for 1915 is now ready and 

 contains 135 pages of letterpress, with 33 illustrations, of clear, reliable 

 and directive information. It is well worthy of a place in every 

 Fellow's Librar} 7 , alongside the useful R. H.S. Journals.
