SATURDAY, JANUARY 28 th, 1893 . 
|ur Gardening Charities. —Only last 
week we reported the annual election 
of pensioners to the Gardeners’ Royal 
Benevolent Institution. That matter, so 
far as relates to benefits of the institution, 
is closed for the year, and the disappointed 
applicants must wait yet another twelve 
months ere they can get a chance of elec¬ 
tion again. We have heard it urged that 
having regard to the very large number of 
candidates yet unelected, and all of whom 
start well in advance of new ones, it would 
be well on the part of the executive to 
refuse all new applications for one year, in 
the hope that through various causes the 
list of present candidates might be cleared, 
and thus leave few or none disappointed 
ones.
