vi PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



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

 Fellows, are bound in with every number of the Joubnal and the 

 " Book of Arrangements," each year (see pp. i, ii above), and just a 

 line addressed to the Secretary, R.H.S., Vincent Square, Westminster, 

 containing the name and address of the proposed new Fellow, will 

 suffice. Should it be preferred, the Secretary will, upon receipt of a 

 postcard or letter giving the names and addresses of any persons likely to 

 join the Society, write direct and invite them to allow their names to be 

 proposed for election. 



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 helping to provide a 

 properly equipped Horticultural Research Station at the Wisley Garden. 



A photographic outfit is also wanted at Wisley, and new or rare 

 plants for the Garden ; books, too, are required to fill the gaps in the 

 Library. Thus there is plenty for all to do according to their individual 

 liking : personal effort in obtaining new Fellows, money, plants, books, 

 are all alike needed. 



11. THE SOCIETY'S GARDEN AT WISLEY. 



(NOT OPEN ON SUNDAYS.) 



The Garden is open daily to Fellows and others showing Fellows' 

 Transferable Tickets from 9 a.m. till sunset, except on Sundays, Good 

 Friday, and Christmas Day. Each Fellow's ticket admits three to the 

 Garden. The public are not admitted. There is much of interest to be 

 seen at Wisley throughout the year. The late Mr. G. F. Wilson's garden 

 included a wild wood-garden, a bank of flowering shrubs, a series of 

 ponds and pools, and a fine collection of Japanese Iris, Primulas, Lilies, 

 Rhododendrons, &c. The Society has added a complete set of the best 

 varieties of hardy fruit trees and bushes, and of Roses and other ornamental 

 trees and flowering shrubs, for the most part kindly given by the leading 

 nurserymen. A very large sum of money has also been spent in the 

 erection of a fine series of glass-houses; of a dwelling-house for the 

 Superintendent ; a cottage for the Fruit Foreman ; and in establishing 

 a complete system of water supply and drainage works, and in road- 

 making. 



The Gardens are situated about 2 miles from Ripley ; and about 3| 

 miles from Horsley and 5^ miles from Weybridge, both stations on the 

 South-Western Railway, with frequent trains from Waterloo and Clapham 

 Junction. Carriages to convey four persons can be obtained by writing 

 to Mr. White, fly proprietor, Ripley, Surrey ; the charge being, to and 

 from Weybridge 10s., or to and from Horsley 7s. Excellent accommoda- 

 tion and refreshments can be had at the Hut Hotel, close to the Garden, 

 and also at the Hautboy at Ockham.
