NOTICES TO FELLOWS.

5. FORM OF BEQUEST. 



I give and bequeath to the Treasurer for the time being of the Royal 



Horticultural Society, London, the sum of £ , to be paid out 



of such part of my personal estate as I can lawfully charge with the 

 payment of such legacy, and to be paid free of legacy duty, within six 

 months of my decease ; the receipt of such Treasurer to be a sufficient 

 discharge for the same. And I declare that the said legacy shall be 

 applied towards [the general purposes of the Society].* 



6. NEW FELLOWS. 



The increasing number of Fellows shows plainly the useful work 

 the Society is doing, and its value to all lovers of the Garden. The 

 President and Council hope that existing Fellows will enlist the 

 sympathy of all their friends, as it is now more important than ever 

 to fill the places of those who are taken from us. 



7. AN APPEAL. 



What has been accomplished for the Society since 1887 is largely 

 due to the unwearied assistance afforded by the Fellows themselves, 

 and as all belong to the same Society, so it behoves each one to 

 do what he or she can to further its interests, especially by : — 



1. Increasing the Number of Fellows. 



2. Help towards the Wisley Endowment. 



3. Providing Lectures with Lantern Slides. 



4. Presenting Books for the Library at Vincent Square and at 

 Wisley. 



5. Sending new or rare Plants and Seeds for the Garden, Sedums 

 and Mossy Saxifrages for nomenclature purposes, and surplus Roots 

 for distribution to the Fellows. 



8. R.H.S. GARDENERS' DIARY. 



The R.H.S. Gardeners' Diary for 1916 contains a considerable 

 quantity of new information, and is compiled more especially for the 

 single-handed gardener. Fellows may obtain it post free, is. 2\d. t 

 from the R.H.S. Office, Vincent Square, London, S.W. ; or 2s. 2\d. 

 if leather-bound. 



* Any special directions or conditions which the testator may wish to be 

 attached to the bequest may be substituted for the words in brackets. 



The attention of Fellows is specially called to the Wisley Gardens Endow- 

 ment Trust Fund, the object of which is to make the Gardens self-supporting 

 for ever, so that the important work to which they are devoted may go on uninter- 

 rupted by any fluctuation in the Society's finances. To do this ^100,000 is 

 required. In 1914 the Council voted £25,000 towards it as a nucleus. Will not 

 Fellows help to make up this sum ?
