35. INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL 

 EXHIBITION, MAY 22-30, 1912. 



Most of the Fellows of the Society will have already heard with 

 pleasure that an Association has been formed to organize an International 

 Flower Show in London in the spring of 1912, as the outcome of a 

 suggestion made by the Secretary of the Society that such a courtesy 

 on the part of Great Britain was due (or indeed overdue) to the Continent 

 and to America for the many similar hospitalities which foreign countries 

 have offered to British horticulturists. 



The Executive Committse now consists of prominent people of various 

 professions and callings (including several leading gardeners), in whom 

 every confidence may be placed to bring the proposal to a satisfactory 

 conclusion on points of organization, exhibits, and finance. A large 

 number of noblemen and gentlemen have lent their names to the scheme, 

 together with many men of position and renown in science. 



It must be fully understood and constantly borne in mind that the 

 Royal Horticultural Society is not organizing the Exhibition, and that 

 for many excellent reasons. Fellows are, therefore, asked from the very 

 beginning to recognize the Exhibition as being absolutely distinct from 

 the Society, being, in fact, an entirely separate and independent organiza- 

 tion. The Society has, however, most warmly welcomed the proposal 

 that such an International Exhibition should be held, and it will render 

 the Association every assistance in its power.
