THE “CHARLES COLLINS” FUND. 
At a meeting of representatives of the Horticultural Press 
held at the Hotel Windsor, Victoria Street, S.W., on January 
nth, the following resolution was unanimously passed : 
“ In consideration of the services rendered to horticulture 
in his journalistic work by the late Charles Collins, of the high 
respect in which he was universally held, and of the fact that 
owing to the long-continued ill-health of himself and his wile 
he was unable to make adequate provision for his family, who 
are in deep distress, a fund be opened for their benefit. 
On the same occasion a General Committee, comprising a 
number of horticultural journalists, together with the following 
gentlemen who form the Executive Committee, were elected 
to carry the above resolution into effect, viz,: 
Maxwei.l T. Masters, M.D., F.R.S. (Chairman), 
41, Wellington Street, Strand, W.C. 
Brian Wynne (Vice-Chairman), 
i, Clement's Inn, Strand, W.C. 
George Gordon, F.R.H.S, (Treasurer), 
Endersleigh, Priory Road, Kew. 
T. W. Sanders, F.R.H.S. (Hon. Secretary), _ 
5?, Cressingham Road, Lewisham, S.E. 
For the information of those who are not fully acquainted 
with the facts of this sad case, it may be briefly stated that the 
late Charles Collins was for some few years engaged on the 
editorial staff of the Journal of Horticulture, and prior to that 
filled similar positions on the Gardeners' Chronicle and 
Amateur Gardening. He was returning home on the evening 
of December 26th from a visit to some friends at Forest Gate, 
and, just as he was about to enter the train, was suddenly 
taken ill and expired almost immediately. He leaves a widow 
and two little girls, aged three and four years respectively. 
Mr. Collins, having only attained the age of thirty years, 
had been unable to make adequate provision for the support 
of his wife and family, and hence the Committee and 
Executive have resolved to make an earnest appeal to those 
who knew him to subscribe to the above fund, and thus enable 
them to alleviate in some measure the pressing needs of the 
widow and family. 
Subscriptions may be sent to either 01 the gentlemen 
named above; or to the editors of the various gardening 
journals. The amounts received will be duly acknowledged 
in the Gardening Press.
