NOTICES TO FELLOWS.

5. 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. Providing Lectures with Lantern Slides. 



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

 Wisley. 



4. Sending new or rare Plants and Seeds for the Garden and 

 surplus Roots for distribution to the Fellows.* 



6. 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., 

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

 if leather-bound. 



7. THE SOCIETY'S GARDENS AT WISLEY. 



Fellows who are not aware of the wonderful beauty of the Gardens, 

 particularly at certain times of the year, may find the following 

 calendar useful. Differences of season make it impossible to give 

 more precise indications, but any Fellow who wishes to see any of the 

 undermentioned plants at their best should send an enquiry to the 

 Director accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope. 



January. — Early Narcissus, Galanthus, Leucojums, Crocus, Ericas, 

 Hamamelis, Forsythias, Orchids, &c. 



February. — Early Narcissus, Crocus, Ericas, Early Saxifrages, 

 Daphnes, Helleborus, Orchids, &c. 



March. — Early Narcissus, Crocus, Ericas, Early Rhododendrons, 

 Alpines outside and under glass, Orchids. 



April. — Primulas inside and outside, Narcissus, flowering trees 

 and shrubs, Alpines outside and under glass, Orchids.

 and shrubs, Alpines, Narcissus. 



* 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 ?
