SATURDAY , DECEMBER ioth, 1892. 
Whe Royal Horticultural Society’s 
^ Committees. —The meetings of these 
bodies, which will be held in the Drill Hall, 
Westminster, on Tuesday next, will be the 
last of the year. Whilst the Fruit and 
Moral Committees will then have met 
some twenty-two times each at fixed dates, 
and some three or four times more at 
irregular intervals, the Orchid, Narcissus, 
and Scientific Committees will have met 
less often, but no doubt nearly one hundred 
meetings at least will have been held 
during the year. That should in any case 
exhibit good work. Very few persons have 
perhaps taken the trouble to ascertain that 
at least 188 names appear on the Society’s 
Committee lists as being members of those 
bodies, and of these fully 180 are distinct 
personages, a large number to remind 
monthly of their obligations, and giving 
certainly a powerful force of knowledge and 
capacity placed at the disposal of the 
Society. 
We could wish that the Council would 
now and then invite ail this body to take 
part in some social function, just to recog¬ 
nise the value of the work performed. 
Obviously many members cannot make 
very regular attendances, as distance forms 
insurmountable barriers, and to many 
others the travelling expenses are a heavy 
tax. For that reason changes amongst 
country members are more frequent than 
they are amongst those residing nearer to 
London, who can put in a very good record. 
On the other hand, it is understood that 
some of the country selections of members 
from year to year must of necessity be 
complimentary, because of the distance
