DEPUTATION TO BIRMINGHAM. 



xxiii 



He defended the New Classification issued by the Royal Horticultural 

 Society, and urged that one flower, accompanied by a written description 

 and a fee of Is. or 2s. Qd., would be sufficient for registration purposes, 

 and secure to a raiser the right to use that particular name for that 

 particular flower. He expressed a hope that the Royal Horticultural 

 Society might become the recognized registration authority. 



With common consent the meeting did not discuss the classification 

 question, because it was under consideration by an enlarged sub-com- 

 mittee appointed by the Council of the R.H.S. 



There was, however, a general feeling that no name should be 

 registered for a Daffodil unless accompanied by at least one flower, 

 a description, and a registration fee, and that the Royal Horticultural 

 Society should deal with the matter. 



On behalf of the Council the Deputation made the following awards at 

 the exhibition : — 



Award of Merit.
