THE  ROYAL  HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIET  Y— CHANGES. 
yERY  natHral,  and,  in  itself  pleasant,  was 
what  may  be  termed  the  parting  incident 
relative  to  Mr.  Barron’s  retirement  from  the 
Secretaryship  of  the  Fruit  Committee  on  Tuesday 
last.  Our  friend  received,  as  he  deserved,  the 
unanimous  thanks  of  the  Committee  for  efficient 
services  rendered  during  a  very  long  period, 
coupled  with  sincere  wishes  for  his  future 
welfare  and  usefulness.  He  was  also  congratu¬ 
lated  on  the  distinction  conferred  on  him  by 
the  Council,  in  virtue  of  which  he  becomes  an 
honorary  Fellow  of  the  Society,  with  a  seat  on 
the  Committee,  with  which  he  has  been  officially 
connected  for  a  longer  time  than  has  any 
member  of  it,  except  Dr.  Hogg,  who  was  its 
originator  and  also  the  secretary  in  its  early 
days.  It  is  the  oldest  Committee  of  the  Society, 
having  about  two  years  seniority  over  the  Floral 
Committee,  and  it  is  appropriate,  therefore,  that 
Mr.  Barron,  the  oldest  servant  of  the  Society, 
should  be  associated  with  it  in  his  retirement. 
Dr.  Hogg  resigned  his  position  in  1865,  Mr. 
Barron  undertaking  the  duty  in  January,  1866, 
or  just  thirty  years  ago  to  a  meeting.  He 
entered  the  Gardens  in  1857. 
That  Mr.  Barron  will  be  useful  on  this  Com¬ 
mittee  every  member  admits,  and  hence,  also  as 
a  mark  of  personal  respect,  the  special  welcome 
that  was  given  to  him  ;  but  he  will  be  useful 
also  over  a  wider  field .  He  will  be  free  to  act  as 
a  practical  adviser  in  gardening.  Of  landscape 
gardeners  there  is  no  lack  ;  men  of  ability  and 
taste  in  that  line  are  well  known  ;  but  as  an 
adviser  on  gardening  in  its  more  utilitarian 
aspects  ;  on  points  referring  to  cultivation,  on 
the  selection  of  fruits,  and  methods  of  planting 
and  pruning  ;  on  the  preparation  and  renovation 
of  gardens  ;  on  tho  profitable  or  satisfactory 
employment  of  glass  structares,  Mr.  Barron, 
if  he  has  views  in  that  direction,  must  of 
necessity  occupy  a  commanding  position  ;  and 
there  must  always  be  owners  of  land  or  gardens 
who  will  be  glad  from  time  to  time  to  avail 
themselves  of  his  services.  Then  as  a  jadge  of 
garden  produce  at  shows  who  has  had  greater 
experience  than  he  ?  He  will  be  at  liberty 
now  to  accept  all  such  congenial  employment, 
and  we  hope  and  suspect  that  the  period  of

NEW  GHRYSANTHEMUM. 
MRS;  CHARLES  BLICK.— New  Pure  White. 
This  variety  has  received  a  First  Glass  Certificate,  National  Ohrysanthemum  Society,  October  23rd,  1895  ;  First  Class 
Certificate,  Birmingham,  November  13th,  1895  ;  First  Class  Certificate,  Cardiff,  November  13th,  1895  ;  an  Award  of  Merit, 
Royal  Horticultural  Society,  October  29th,  1895.  It  was  raised  from  seed  by  Mr.  0.  BUck,  gardener  to  Martin  Smith,  Esq., 
The  Warren,  Hayes,  Kent,  the  whole  stock  of  which  has  been  secured  by  ourselves.  It  is,  without  doubt,  the  finest  pure  white 
Japanese  yet  introduced,  the  flower  is  made  up  of  a  deep,  dense,  but  graceful  spreading  mass  of  long  florets,  which  incurve 
slightly  at  their  tips.  The  habit  is  very  compact  and  dwarf,  the  foliage  being  an  extraordinary  size,  indicating  that  the  plant 
is  very  robust.  All  who  have  seen  the  variety  pronounce  it  to  be  a  grand  acquisition  and  a  fine  exhibition  variety.
