CCXXVlll PKOCEEDINGS OF THE EOYAL HORTICULTUKAL SOCIETY. 
NEW FELLOWS. 
The Centenary of the Society in March 1904 is fast approaching, and 
the Secretary is most anxious to double the number of Fellows before 
that eventful date. Will every Fellow assist him by sending in the 
name of at least one new Fellow during the present year ? 
LECTURES, &c. 
Any Fellows willing to Lecture or to communicate Papers on 
interesting subjects are requested to communicate with the Secretary. 
DRAC/ENAS. 
The Superintendent, E.H.S. Gardens, Chiswick, W., would be greatly 
obliged for any old plants of Dracaenas, however old and long. Please 
shake out all the earth from the roots and send direct to Chiswick. 
SUBSCRIPTIONS. 
All Subscriptions fall due on January 1 of each year. To avoid the 
inconvenience of remembering this. Fellows can compound by the pay- 
ment of one lump sum in lieu of all further annual payments ; or they 
can, by applying to the Society, obtain a form of instruction to their 
bankers to pay for them every January 1. Fellows whose subscriptions 
remain unpaid are debarred from all the privileges of the Society; but 
their subscriptions are nevertheless recoverable at law, the Society being 
incorporated by Eoyal Charter. 
DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS, &C. 
A list of plants to choose from was sent to every Fellow on January 81 
(as it is every year), enclosed in the " Beyort of the Council " for the last 
year, and the ballot for order of distribution was made on March 1. All 
Fellows participate in the yearly distribution in the March following 
their election. No distribution can be made later in the year, though 
from the large number of Fellows to be served it is often the end of 
April before the March distribution can be completed.
