NOTICES TO FELLOWS.

that the Exhibition may render as complete a service as possible to 

 amateurs, horticulturists, gardeners, and the great and wide-spread 

 garden-loving public. Of those interested in gardening, a very large pro- 

 portion have never seen the Shows of the Society because, first, they have 

 been open only during business hours ; and, secondly, the expense a visit 

 entails is, for distant country dwellers, too considerable. 



The Olympia Show will correct the first difficulty, as on two eveniDgs 

 it will remain open until 10 p.m. On the third day it must close at six 

 o'clock to permit exhibits to be cleared within the time circumscribed by 

 other engagements at the Hall. 



The Eailway Companies have, moreover, been asked to ran excursion 

 trains to London for July 4th, 5th, and 6th, and the majority have 

 assented. The Eailway Companies will issue their usual notices of 

 excursions ten days before the Show. Enquiries should be addressed to 

 the Companies direct and not to Vincent Square. Attention is called to 

 the footnotes on pp. 56 and 67 of the " Book of Arrangements." 



The" Show will be widely advertised amongst the Fellows of the 

 Society, the greater outside public, and every daughter Society in the 

 Country. Posters have been prepared for display throughout the Country, 

 and Picture Post Cards, giving particulars of the Show, may be had free 

 on application to the Secretary of the Society, Vincent Square, S.W., 

 for Fellows to send to their friends who are not yet Fellows. The Hoi- 

 ticultuual Trade may purchase these Picture Post Cards at cost price. 

 Fellows and Members of Societies represent only the nucleus of lovers of 

 flowers, and it is hoped that by thus making the Show well knowD, and 

 by the facilities for reaching London being made financially easier, a wide 

 and lasting benefit may be secured. 



Abundant accommodation for sundries has been provided surrounding 

 the walls of the Main Hall. The spaces and rents apportioned are indi- 

 cated on a plan to be obtained from the office. A rebate of 10 per cent, 

 on these rents will be allowed to exhibitors who are also Fellows of the 

 Society. Spaces should be booked at once. 



intimations from Affiliated Societies have already been received that 

 it is their intention to make a visit to the Olympia Show the " Summer 

 Outing " of their Societies.

are asked to observe the special admission fee of Is. during the second 

 day at Olympia for those of their Members who are bond fide Gardeners 

 (see p. 58, " Book of Arrangements "). 



To assist those who are unfamihar with the Eailway connexions with 

 Olympia, it has been arranged with Messrs. Tilling, Ltd., Peckham, 

 London, S.E., that Omnibuses be sent to meet parties of twelve or more, 

 and they will be conveyed at specially low rates to Olympia, the amount 

 of which rate will depend on the number of applications made. Those 

 intending to avail themselves of this convenience should communicaic 

 direct with Messrs. Tilling ('please do not write to the Secretary of the
