PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



received (about £2,067) compares favourably with the year 1907, especially 

 when it is remembered that the former year had two lettings of a value 

 of =£700, which have not recurred. The awning over the main entrance, 

 and the kitchen constructed in the basement during the past twelve 

 months, still further improve the comfort of the lessees. Bronze Standard 

 Lamps are also to be erected at the main entrance. There are but few 

 vacant dates left in the year 1909, and a good financial return is again 

 anticipated. 



Committees, &C. —The hearty thanks of the Society are again due 

 to the Members of the Committees, the Judges, the Writers of Papers for 

 the Journal, the Compilers of Abstracts, the Eeviewers, the several 

 Examiners, and to the many others who, during the past twelve months, 

 have done so much to contribute to the success of the Society's work, and 

 to help maintain the high reputation it holds among the practical and 

 scientific Societies of the World.
