Narcissus and Tulip Committee, April ii, 1917. 
Mr. E. A. Bowles, V.M.H., in the Chair, and eight members present. 
Owing to the extreme lateness of the season, and various difficulties 
incidental to war time, the question of holding the London Daffodil 
Show was discussed. Members of Committee and other Fellows had 
written, some urging the postponement of the Show and others sug- 
gesting its abandonment. On the motion of the Rev. G. H. Engle- 
heart and Mr. Peter R. Barr, the following resolution was adopted 
unanimously : — " That the Narcissus and Tulip Committee request 
the Secretary, Rev. W. Wilks, to advise the Council to abandon the 
Daffodil Show fixed for April 17." To this the Council agreed. 
* Concerning Mr. J. K. Ramsbottom's lecture on " Investigations 
in the Daffodil Disease," arranged to be given during the afternoon of 
the Daffodil Show, the Hon. Sec. was requested to endeavour to arrange 
for the lecture to be delivered at the Horticultural Club, as it was of 
great importance that the latest information should be made public as 
early as possible.
