NOTICES TO FELLOWS. 



cclxv 



Visitors should in all cases be careful to state the trains they intend 

 to arrive by and leave by. Carriages can also be obtained at Weybridge 

 for 8s. by writing to Mr. Trembling, New Road, Weybridge. Excellent 

 accommodation and refreshments can be had at the Hut Hotel, close to 

 the Gardens, and also at the Hautboy at Ockham. 



The motor route from London to Wisley will be found in the " Book 

 of Arrangements," p. 123. 



14. ROCK GARDEN AT WISLEY. 



In consequence of the rapidly increasing interest taken in what are 

 popularly called "Alpine Plants," "Alpines," or "Rock Plants," the 

 Council have constructed a Rock Garden at Wisley on a somewhat exten- 

 sive scale. The idea is to obtain the best possible positions and soils for 

 the different plants to grow in, the growth and well-being of the plants 

 being considered to be of even greater importance than the artistic effect 

 of the rockwork. In a Horticultural Society's Garden every single detail 

 should teach something, so that Fellows visiting it may be able to take 

 away an idea of how best to do this or that or where best to plant this or 

 that. The construction of the Rock Garden is completed, and the plant- 

 ing is proceeding, but it will be two, or possibly three, years or more 

 before the plants on it can be seen at their best. 



15. NEW BOTHY AT WISLEY. 



The Council have always been anxious to promote the welfare of their 

 gardeners, and with this object in view they have recently completed a 

 new bothy, which they hope may prove of use far and wide as establish- 

 ing the desirable via media between extravagance on the one hand and 

 disregard of the men's comfort on the other. It may well serve as a 

 model for the construction of bothies elsewhere.
