SATURDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1893. 
Arboriculture.— How many good Gar- 
v deners’ as well as Foresters’ mouths 
must water at the nature of the programme 
sketched out in our last issue, for the 
proposed visit of the members of the 
Scottish Arboricultural Society to the South 
of England next week, and the delight 
which must be associated with such a visit. 
It may be that England is not great in 
Forests, but at least we have in the New 
Forest, the Royal Forest at Windsor, the 
Forest of Dean, Wolmer, and others, some 
fine forestal remains, which it is of the 
utmost importance should be maintained, 
and as to which we may well hope to learn, 
whenever the report of the Society’s visit 
is issued, some very valuable criticism and 
information. 
Why England has no such Society it is 
hard to understand; but it has to be 
admitted with a good deal of pain that, 
except our Royal Agricultural Society—• 
which is a great, living, active, energetic 
body, in other matters relating to land 
culture—we are, on the south side of the 
Tweed, sadly inefficient and inactive. 
What does the Royal Horticultural Society 
do that entitles it to the respect of the 
nation, or to command national support ? 
Little or nothing. Even amongst those 
who might be expected to show some 
loyalty and respect—the gardeners of the 
community—it is held in light esteem.
