The hearty thanks of the Society are due to the Chiswick Board and 
to all the members of the standing Committees—viz., the Scientific, the 
Fruit and Vegetable, the Floral, the Orchid, and the Narcissus Com¬ 
mittees—for the most kind and patient attention which they have 
severally given to their departments ; to the exhibitors and members of 
the special Committees also, who have contributed to so great an extent 
to produce the magnificent results of the Rose, Vegetable, and Chrysan¬ 
themum Conferences. And herein the Council cannot refrain from 
thanking especially the Very Rev. the Dean of Rochester, Mr. Harry J. 
Veitch, Mr. Shirley Hibberd, Mr. Molyneux, and Mr. Mawley, together 
with all the officers of the National Rose Society, who so cordially, and 
with such kindly feeling, co-operated in the Society’s labours. 
In conjunction with the Lindley Library Trustees the Society’s 
library has received considerable attention. Several defective series 
(notably the Botanical Magaziie, now complete from its commence¬ 
ment) have been made good up to date, and a large number of untidy 
but valuable volumes have been bound. 
The best thanks of the Society are due to all those who, either at 
home or abroad, have so kindly and liberally presented books to the 
library or plants or seeds to the gardens. Special thanks are due to 
those gentlemen who have so kindly contributed Carnations in view of 
the Conference in July. A list of the donors has been prepared, and 
will appear in the next number of the Journal. 
The Council recognise as fully as anyone can the great desirability 
of securing more suitable premises than the present Drill Hall affords, 
and they are now anxiously engaged in considering a scheme for erect¬ 
ing a suitable building on the Thames Embankment, which, if ever 
accomplished, would, they hope, not only afford ample facilities for our 
own Society, but also, in time, form a centre for all kindred horticul¬ 
tural associations. But they must remind Fellows that the adoption of 
this scheme is purely a matter of funds, and would entail a very large 
outlay, and until they can see their way to provide this they fear that 
no better place than the Drill Hall can, under the circumstances, be 
readily found. 
The Council have the sad duty of recording the death of forty of the 
Fellows of the Society during the past year. Amongst them they regret 
tD find the names Reichenbach, Boscawen, and Berkeley. 
Besides the losses from death the Council deeply grieve to have to 
record the loss of thirty-nine Fellows by resignation. The Society has 
been struggling bravely for the last two years in the face of many 
adverse circumstances, and with the burden, financially speaking, of a 
large number of life Fellows—from whom it derives no income what¬ 
ever—bequeathed to it by a former generation ; and the Council had 
hoped that, with the evidence which even this report gives of renewed 
life and vigour and usefulness, the Society would have retained the 
goodwill and support, and for a lime the forbearance of all who had 
joined it. They have, however, the pleasure of adding that a greater 
number have joined the Society than have left it. Still, as they said in 
another paragraph, they wish to impress very strongly the fact that the 
Society needs a large augmentation before it will be financially possible 
to embrace the many opportunities of usefulness opening before it. The 
following tabular statement will show the relations of increase and 
decrease during the year, both in the number of Fellows and the income 
arising therefrom :—

LUPINUS ARBOREUS. 
I WAS very pleased to see this border plant spoken so well of by Mr*’ 
S. Arnott on page 92. It well de.serves all the praise there accorded it' 
I have found it one of the best plants for cutting purposes in June’ 
July, and August. From a plant 5 to G feet in height I have twice a 
week cut large handfuls for those three months, and anyone having to 
provide a mixed supply of flowers would do well to purchase seed this 
spring. It should be sown as soon as possible, and the seedlings planted 
out in a sunny position at the end of May, hardening them off in the 
same way as a bedding plant. Eight years ago I purchased from 
a well-known London seed firm a packet of seed, and the following year 
and ever since I have had plants for cutting from in the above named 
months. Only one plant was then placed out, and the flowers proved a. 
bright yellow colour. The foliage, like most of the Lupins, is bright.
