33. V.M.H. — It is always a great regret to the Council to hear of the death 
of any holders of the Victoria Medal of Honour, though at the same time it 
affords them the opportunity of honouring others. To fill the vacancies caused 
by the above-mentioned deaths they have appointed Mr. J. W. McHattie, 
Superintendent of the Edinburgh Parks and Gardens ; Mr. Edward White, 
the well-known British Landscape Gardener, and Honorary Secretary of the 
International Horticultural Exhibition 1912 ; and Mr. S. T. Wright, who for 
the past twenty-three years has been Superintendent of the Society's Gardens 
and Shows. 
34. Lawrence Medal. — The Lawrence Medal for the year has been awarded 
to Mr. John A. Nix for two superb Educational Exhibits of Fruits showing 
how much can be done without heated glass-houses.

36. Committees, etc. — Again the thanks of the Council are extended to the 
members of the various Committees of the Society and to the Board of 
Examiners for the valuable work they have done. The Council take this 
opportunity of thanking the Committees for the patience with which they 
have borne the inconveniences unavoidably attached to their Meetings in the 
Drill Hall, and hope that these inconveniences will only linger in their memory 
sufficiently to make them value the more the comfortable conditions afforded 
in the Society's own premises. 
The Council wish to thank most cordially the Territorial Force Association 
for lessening the difficulties of the Society's situation by placing the London 
Scottish Drill Hall at the Society's service during the war, and also to thank 
Captain Scott and his staff for the kindly consideration and assistance so willingly 
and so often extended. 
And, lastly, the Council desire to thank the various members of their own 
staff for the work they have so loyally done during the year, and the Press 
* In the Report for 191 8 this figure was given as 14,632. This included 
1718 Fellows who had during the War ceased to subscribe tut who had not 
formally resigned. The names of all such lapsed Fellows have now been removed 
and the figures brought into exact correspondence with the facts. — W. W.
