22. SPRING AND SUMMER SHOWS, 1913. 



(a) Spring Shoiu. 



It is with reluctance that the Council have found it necessary to change 

 the site of the Spring Show. For some five-and-twenty years past the 

 Society have enjoyed the hospitality of the Treasurer and Benchers of the 

 Inner Temple, in whose gardens a series of wonderful Flower Shows have 

 been held. The increasing attendance and consequent overcrowding in 

 recent years have, however, compelled the Council to seek for a larger 

 site ; they have, therefore, accepted the invitation of the Governors of the 

 Royal Hospital, Chelsea, to hold the Spring Shows in future on the same 

 site as the recent International Horticultural Exhibition. 



(b) Summer Shoio. 



The Summer Show will be held at Holland House as usual, the dates 

 being July 1, 2, and 3. 



Details of both Exhibitions will be published in due course, and 

 Fellows are asked to make them widely known and to do their utmost to 

 induce the attendance of their friends. 



23. EXHIBITS OF HORTICULTURAL 

 SUNDRIES. 



Owing to the lack of space it has hitherto been impossible to accept 

 exhibits of Horticultural Sundries at the Spring Show. Abundant 

 accommodation is, however, provided in close proximity to the floral 

 exhibits in the arrangement of the show ground at Chelsea, which 

 Sundriesmen will doubtless be glad to occupy. Plans of positions, &c., 

 are now ready for issue. 



24. RHODODENDRON SHOW, MAY 27-30, 1913. 



Messrs. John Waterer and Sons, of Bagshot, have arranged to hold 

 another Exhibition of Rhododendrons in the Royal Horticultural Hall 

 from May 27-30, 1913. Fellows' Tickets will admit.
