from the public, unless they had a very different pro¬ 
gramme. They had catered for the fashionable world, 
and had had lawn tennis, fashionable gardens, and the 
like, but it was not horticulture. To speak plainly, 
the game was up, and they must stick to their last and 
try to impress upon the public their earnestness by 
doing good work in the future. 
After some further discussion the foregoing resolutions 
were embodied in a resolution moved by Dr. Masters, 
to the effect that the council carry out the suggestions 
in pars. 6 and 8 of the “Appeal,” and “That this 
meeting requests the council to consider the desirability 
of obtaining a supplemental charter, and meanwhile 
requests them to vary the byelaws in such a manner as 
to insure the full control of the Fellows over the election 
of officers and council of the society at the annual 
general meeting.” The following gentlemen were also 
nominated by the same resolution as a committee :— 
Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M. P., Baron Schroder, 
G. F. "Wilson, Professor Foster, A. H. Smee, H. J. 
Pearson, H. J. Veitch, Shirley Hibberd, George Paul, 
and Dr. Masters. The motion was seconded and carried 
with four dissentients.
