36. RECOGNITION OF DILIGENT INTEREST 



IN PLANTS. 



The Council have founded a card of " Kecognition of Diligent Interest 

 in Plants." Issued in response to frequent applications by school 

 authorities for some token of encouragement of work with plants amongst 

 scholars, it is to be awarded to the boy or girl (or both) who, in the 

 yearly school competitions in plant cultivation, or garden plot keeping, 

 or Nature study, has secured the first prize. The cards are 12 inches 

 by 8 inches, and may be had on application to the Secretary, R.H.S., 

 Vincent Square, London, S.W. (price 6d. each). The application should 

 contain information as to (a) the nature of the competition, (b) the number 

 of competitors, (c) the judges, (d) the number of prizes awarded in the 

 competition, (e) the full name of the first prize winner, and should be 

 signed by the head teacher and a member of the education authority 

 concerned. The Council of the R.H.S. will at their own absolute dis- 

 cretion grant or withhold this "recognition." 



37. MS. FOR JOURNAL. 



The Editor is always glad to receive suitable articles for issue in the 

 JouENAL from corresponding and other Fellows of the Society. It is 

 thought that much more might be done in this direction to disseminate 

 valuable botanical and horticultural information, and to publish 

 records of work and research conducted by other than actual official 

 members of the Society. The Journal is received by the best libraries 

 in the world, and is regularly sent to all the 12,000 Fellows of the 

 Society. 



38. ADVERTISEMENTS. 



Fellows are reminded that the more they can place their orders with 

 those who advertise in the Society's Publications the more likely others 

 are to advertise also, and in this way the. Society may be indirectly 

 benefited.
