lxxxiv PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Exhibition and Meeting is held practically every fortnight throughout 

 the year, and a short lecture on some subject connected with Horticulture 

 is delivered during the afternoon. 



A reminder of every Show will be sent in the week preceding to any 

 Fellow who will send to the R.H.S. Offices, Vincent Square, S.W., a 

 sufficient number (32) of halfpenny cards ready addressed to himself. 



19. ERROR IN FELLOWS' TICKETS. 



The entry of a Show on December 21 which appears on the Fellows' 

 Tickets is an error. There will be no Show on that date, as it is found 



to be too near to Christmas. 



20. BRITISH-GROWN FRUIT. 



In consideration of the facts (1) that the annual Autumn Show of 

 British-grown Fruits is every year practically a repetition of that of the 

 previous year ; (2) that many British-grown fruits cannot be shown in 

 perfection at one Show ; and (3) that vegetables have been somewhat 

 neglected, the Council have decided to omit the great Autumn Show for 

 one year, and in 1909 to substitute a series of prizes spread over twelve 

 months, so that every fruit may have a chance of being seen at its best. 

 A schedule of prizes will be found in the " Book of Arrangements " for 

 1909, and also in " The Book of Schedules " (see below). 



21. AFFILIATED SOCIETIES' CHALLENGE CUP. 



The Council offer a Challenge Cup to be competed for annually by 

 the Affiliated Societies, subject to certain conditions (for which see 

 " The Book of Schedules," 1909, price 6d.). The winners will hold the 

 Cup for one year, and will also receive a Silver-gilt Knightian Medal, 

 together with a set of their Publications and Charts presented to the 

 Society by the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers. 



22. "BOOK OF SCHEDULES." 



The 1909 "Book of Schedules," containing revised Eules and Eegula- 

 tions for Exhibitors, &c, and full details of the Temple, Holland House, 

 Colonial Fruit, and Bottled Fruit Shows, and a complete Schedule with 

 Regulations for the Special Fruit and Vegetable Competitions at the 

 Fortnightly Meetings, was issued on Thursday, February 25, price 6d., 

 and on receipt of this amount a copy will be forwarded by post imme- 

 diately. »
