 Mr. Phippen, Mr. Hugh Low, Mr. H. Deverill, Mr. T. Laxton,

A scheme for the affiliation of Local Horticultural Societies 

 was put forward in 1890 ; fifty-eight Local Societies have 

 availed themselves of it. The Council express the hope that 

 Fellows will promote the affiliation of Local Horticultural and 

 Cottage Garden Societies in their own immediate neighbour- 

 hood.
