of plants at an}^ later time in the year. Ail Fellows can participate in 

 the annual distribution following their election. 



The Society does not pay the cost of packing and carnage. The 

 charge for this will be collected by the carriers on delivery of the 

 plants, which will be addressed exactly as given by each Fellow on his 

 appUcation form. It is impracticable to send plants by post, owing to 

 the lack of Post Office facilities for despatch without prepayment of 

 postage. 



Fellows residing beyond a radius of thirty-five miles from London 

 are permitted to choose double the number of plants to which they are 

 otherwise entitled. 



Plants cannot be sent to Fellows residing outside the United King- 

 dom, owing either to length of time in transit or to vexatious regulations 

 in some foreign countries ; but the Council will at any time endeavour 

 to obtain for Fellows living abroad any unusual or rare seeds which they 

 may have been unable to procure in their own country. 



No plants will be sent to Fellows whose subscriptions are in arrear, 

 or who do not fill up their forms properly.
