submit for the earnest consideration of the Council of the Society 
the desirability of concentrating the Society’s resources to the 
utmost extent upon the maintenance of the Chiswick Garden, so as 
to enable it to fulfil its mission as the national exponent of prac¬ 
tical and experimental horticulture.” (Applause.)

Dr. Masters seconded in a speech of great weight and in cogency 
of argument practically unanswerable. Messrs. Wright, Roupell 
and others supported, then Mr. Yeitch (the Chairman) rose and said, 
“ I now put this resolution to the meeting, all who are in favour of 
it will signify the same in the usual manner.” Almost before the 
words were out of his mouth up went a forest of hands. “ Now to 
the contrary. None. Carried unanimously.” Thus the last of a 
successful series of meetings closed in animation and happy harmony, 
but not before a strong vote of thanks was conveyed to the Rev. 
W. Wilks, the Secretary of the Society, for his unremitting attend¬ 
ance and active work throughout the week, and to the Chairman of 
the meeting. 
It now remains for the governing authorities to deliberate on 
the above adopted views of a large body of supporters, and 
in due time to devise a plan of action on the lines proposed. No 
one doubts the good intentions of the Council and their strong 
desire to make the Society popular and useful, and few will 
begrudge the provision of suitable rooms in London for meetings 
and administrative work, or to the holding of metropolitan shows 
occasionally that shall be large enough to command public attention 
and worthily represent high class horticulture, provided real and 
earnest action is taken in developing the resources of the garden at 
Chiswick for the purposes indicated in the resolution.
