Ixxxii PROCEEDINGS OF THE KOYAL HORTICULTUBAL SOCIETY. 



7. PRIVILEGES OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 



Instructions are contained at page 84 in the "Book of Arrange- 

 ments," 1912. 



8. LIST OF FELLOWS. 



A list of all the Fellows of the Society is sent out in January. 

 Fellows are requested to look at their own names in it, and if in any way 

 these are incorrect, or the address insufficient, they are requested to inform 

 the Secretary at once. Forms of Nomination, and of the Privileges of 

 Fellows, are bound in with every number of the Journal (Advt. pp. 32, 33) 

 and the " Book of Arrangements." 



9. NEW FELLOWS. 



The President and Council fully appreciate how much the prosperity 

 of the Society and its present large number of Fellows are due to the 

 efforts of Fellows to enlist the sympathy of their friends ; and the 

 steady advance during recent years indicates the increasing recognition 

 of the Society's work and usefulness. But it must not be supposed that 

 a maximum has yet been reached. There is ample room for a great 

 increase of Fellows, especially in America and the Colonies. 



10. AN APPEAL. 



What has been accomplished for the Society since 1887 is largely due 

 to the unwearied assistance afforded by a small proportion of the Fellows ; 

 but as all belong to the same Society, so it behoves each one to do what 

 he or she can to further its interests, especially by : — 



1. Increasing the number of Fellows. 



2. Helping to swell the General Prize Fund started by Mr. A. W. 

 Sutton, V.M.H., for providing Prizes for the Students at Wisley. 



3. Providing lectures with lantern slides. 



4. Presenting books to fill the gaps in the Library both at Vincent 

 Square and at Wisley. j 



5. Sending new and rare Plants and Seeds for the Garden and surplus \ 

 Roots for distribution to the Fellows. 



6. Sending Plants for the New Bock Garden at Wisley. 



Thus there is plenty for all to do according to their individual liking : 

 personal effort, money, plants, books, are all alike needed. The Secretary 

 asks those who read these lines to help in the ways above indicated. 



Mr. C. Herman Senn, the Honorary Secretary of the Cookery and 1 

 Food Association, has offered a Prize of £1 Is. to the Students at Wisley 

 for the best essay on " How best to keep up through the year a continuous 

 supply of Vegetables suitable to a private garden." 



11. R.H.S. GARDENERS' DIARY. 



The Shropshire Horticultural Society's Show appears in the Gardeners' 

 Diary under the dates August 22 and 23. The correct dates are August \ 

 21 and 22. Will Fellows please alter their Diaries accordingly ?
