There having been much published in the Bulletin concerning Intern A- 
the affiHation of the Gaeden Club of America with the Royal tional 
Horticultural Society, the Committee on International Relations will Relations 
simply report, through me, the resolutions passed by the Royal Committee 
Horticultural Society at the meeting of its Council in November, 1920: 
" I . That the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society recognizes 
that nothing is better calculated to foster a cordial understanding 
between the citizens of this country and those of the United States 
than that they should meet on the common ground of interest in 
horticulture and love of gardens. It, therefore, welcomes the sugges- 
tion that it should allow duly accredited Members of the Garden 
Club of America, when on a visit to this country, to attend the 
meetings of the Society and to have free admission to the Society's 
Garden at Wisley. 
"2. That the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society authorizes 
the Secretary to do his best to introduce the members of the Garden 
Club to the owners of those gardens in this country which they 
have a special interest in visiting. 
"3. That the Council will gladly allow the Garden Club to repro- 
duce in their publication, so far as the copyright laws of the two 
countries allow, occasional papers from the Journal of the Royal 
Horticultural ' Society, making due acknowledgment of the source 
from which they are taken. 
"4. That the Council reahzes that much good may result from 
fostering personal relations between the two Societies and would 
welcome any opportunity for an exchange of visits by their ofi&cial 
members. " 
The Committee have been unable to find any Society in either 
France or Italy with which they can affihate. There seems to be no 
Society in either country corresponding to the Royal Horticultural 
Society or the Garden Club of America, therefore, their aim is to 
hear of individual gardens which may be open to us, and they count 
upon and urge every individual member of the Garden Club of 
America to consider herself an agent appointed by this Committee 
and to gain for us entrance to gardens, or any information leading to 
such an end, until we have built up a list of many gardens possible 
to visit in both of these countries. 
In requesting permission to avail oneself of the privileges the 
Royal Horticultural Society are offering us, please apply to the 
Chairman of the Committee on International Relations through the 
President of your Club ; and I beg all Presidents to be most particular 
that their candidate is a true garden lover, to state fully all possible 
information as to the applicant's knowledge, particular interest, etc., 
and not to make many applications in the same year — that we may 
not abuse the hospitahty of the Royal Horticultural Society.
