CURRENT TOPICS. 
J^onours to Plant Collectors.— Our es- 
teemed contemporary, The. Gardeners’ 
Chronicle, is somewhat exercised because the 
memories of the various eminent botanists and 
others who have been industrious plant 
collectors, are neither honoured nor perpetuated. 
Posthumous honours are of little value to any 
man. Just as the immortal soul of an artist 
may find poor consolation in knowing that 
pictures sold in life for very moderate sums, 
now fetch thousands of pounds in the open 
market; in the same way it would hardly 
serve to rejoice the dead Robert Fortune, that a 
statue or other memorial were now raised to 
his memory. All the same it is not possible to 
think of the labours and hardships undergone 
by illustrious plant collectors—hardships and 
dangers which in many cases brought their lives 
to an untimely end, without a strong sense of 
respect for them, and of some feeling also that 
their labours in life deserved higher and more 
lucrative appreciation. 
Of course they undertook the labours and 
hardships for- a livelihood, and not with the 
hope that they would be made heroes and gods, 
as some of the more fortunate explorers of to¬ 
day are. If the lives and labours of enthusiastic 
collectors teach anything, it is that what of 
honour' as well as of reward can he given, 
should bebestowedwhilsttheylive to enjoy them. 
Bo far as honours are concerned, we have not 
in horticulture happily been appreciably steeped 
in the vice of toadying for what of titles and 
ribands the State can give. AYe trust we never’ 
may. That no greater honour should be paid 
to services to horticulture, or any other science, 
than is given to some wealthy trader whose 
only virtue is that he is wealthy, is, indeed, 
honour which is debasing. After all, who 
can claim such honours, either in life or death, 
as are found in the trees, plants, and shrubs 
which adorn our woods and gardens, carrying 
the names of illustrious collectors 1 The names
