NOTICES TO FELLOWS. 



CC1X 



The following Form of Bequest may be of service to some : — 

 I give and bequeath to the Treasurer for the time being of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society, London, the sum of £ , to be paid out of 



such part of my personal estate as I can lawfully charge with the payment 

 of such legacy, and to be paid free of legacy duty, within six months of 

 my decease ; the receipt of such Treasurer to be a sufficient discharge 

 for the same. And I declare that the said legacy shall be applied towards 

 [the general purposes of the Society].* 



8. PRIVILEGES OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 



Instructions are contained at p. ccxxii, and fuller ones at page 10 in 

 the "Book of Arrangements." 



9. LIST OF FELLOWS. 



A list of all the Fellows of the Society is sent out in January. 

 Fellows are requested to look at their own names in it, and if in any way 

 these are incorrect, or the addresses insufficient, they are requested to inform 

 the Secretary at once. Another use which all Fellows might make of this 

 list is to consult it with reference to their friends' names, and if any of 

 them are not found recorded therein they might endeavour to enlist their 

 sympathies with the Society, and obtain their consent to propose them as 

 Fellows forthwith. Forms of Nomination, and of the Privileges of 

 Fellows, are bound in with every number of the .Journal (see pp. ccv, 

 ccvi above) and with the " Book of Arrangements," each year. 



10. AN APPEAL. 



What has been accomplished for the Society since 1887 is largely due 

 to the unwearied assistance afforded by a small proportion of the Fellows ; 

 but as all belong to the same Society, so it behoves each one to do what 

 he or she can to further its interests, especially in 



1. Providing a properly equipped Horticultural Research Station at 

 the >Yisley Garden. 



The Council have already got out the plans for the building, and are 

 ready at any moment to begin operations, but the initial cost of the 

 Laboratory and other buildings, and of the necessary instruments, can 

 hardly be far short of £1,500 or £2,000, and the annual expense for salaries 

 and general upkeep would involve at least £500 a year. Mr. Arthur W. 

 Sutton, F.L.S., V.M.H., has most kindly offered £.100 towards starting 

 a fund for the Laboratory buildings, and ice hope that others will now 

 be ready to follow so good a lead without further delay, so that the 

 students being trained in the Gardens may thus have the additional 

 advantage of an insight into the methods of modern scientific research. 



2. A photographic outfit is wanted at Wisley ; and 



3. Books are required to fill the gaps in the Library. 



* Any special directions or conditions which the testator may wish to be attached 

 to the bequest may be substituted for the words in brackets.
