DEPUTATION TO THE INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL 

 SHOW AT PARIS. 



May 20, 1905. 



The Society was represented at the great International Horticultural 

 Show at Paris in May, 1905, by Sir Albert Rollit, Bart., M.P., Major 

 Holford, CLE., C.V.O., Mr. J. Gurney Fowler, Mr. Harry J. Veitch, 

 F.L.S., and the Rev. W. Wilks, M.A. (Secretary), who were empowered 

 by the Council to award the Society's medals to exhibits of conspicuous 

 excellence. It is needless to say that the members of the deputation 

 were welcomed with all the enthusiastic vivacity for which our friends 

 over the Channel are so universally renowned ; everything they could do 

 to promote the geniality and friendly feeling of the meeting was done ; 

 and as a slight acknowledgment of the gracious reception accorded to 

 the deputation by the President of the Republic and Madame Loubet, the 

 Council presented him with the Society's Flora Medal in gold, suitably 

 inscribed, with which Monsieur Loubet expressed himself as being much 

 gratified.
