The Inspection of Gardens belonging to Fellows is conducted by a 

 thoroughly competent Inspector from the Society, who reports and 

 advises at the following cost — viz. a fee of £3 3s. for one day (or £5 5s. 

 for two consecutive days) , together with all out-of-pocket expenses. No

 their gardens. Gardens can only be inspected at the written request 

 of the owner.
