The Assistant -Secretary announced a donation of Seeds from the Japanese j
Commissioner.

The awards of the Fruit and Floral Committee having been read, the Rev.
M. J. Berkeley proceeded to explain some of the principal points of the day’s
exhibition.

The Chairman having called on Mr. J. Hungerford Pollen to introduce the
subject announced for this day’s discussion,

Mr. Pollen addressed the meeting on the artistic arrangement of Flower
and Fruit Shows.

The substance of these remarks was as follows : —

We are assailed on all sides for the ugly rubbishy state in which our exhibi¬
tions are arranged, and we are told, as in Dr. Masters’ admirable report of the
Amsterdam Exhibition, how well these things can be conducted if we only have
the gift of doing so.

Well, there seems to be some truth in the accusation, though, as Professor
Richenbach observes, flowers and fruit are the real objects of shows, and not
artistic display ; still something can and ought to be done if we want to impart
a general interest to these exhibitions, and to improve the public taste and
knowledge.

To go to the point, and try and suggest means for this object, we may gene¬
rally consider how Nature deals with her plants and flowers.

First — By the light she sheds round every object so abundantly.

Second — By the invariable .armory of leaves or foliage of some kind, in
large proportion to the colours of the flowers and fruit.

Third— By the repose which we see on the ground.

First, then, what is the best place for an exhibition ? An arcade or room is
suitable for artworks, sculpture, &c., because the delicate play of surface mould¬
ings is so brought into fine shadows, but for plants which require light all round
them, a tent is more natural and better. More light is so admitted, and it is
delightfully distributed by the medium of the canvass.

If other countries do some of these things better, no country has produced
such a tent as that constructed by the lamented Captain Fowke. No show can

compare with the rhododendron show there, where light, foliage, and earth com¬
bine to help it out.

Second. — Observing the show of to-day, we see the foliage plants ’separated
from the flowers on the opposite side of the room. If these had formed a back
ground for the others, how much would have been done by that simple expe¬
dient. Then, again, harmony of colour can be considered even though the plants
are still kept in collections for the judges.

Third. — As nature provides turf, and shows fruit and flowers so much better
on it, why should we not, as may be seen in Continental displays, grow turf in
boxes, or cut it and bring it up. These boxes could be slanted any way or
raised perpendicularly like banks. Or we might put the fruit on the turf or
grass grown in these boxes.

Another beautiful element for flower-showing is white paper, in which many
foreign markets display their plants and cut flowers. It is the same in effect as,
the brilliant white mounts we use for water-colour drawings.

In Italy they have a beautiful method, once well seen by the speaker in the
Monastery in the Apennines, where a Monk chalked out a carpet or mosaic,
laid buds of box on the chalk to make green lines of demarcation, and filled,
the spaces with petals of blue, red, and other wild flowers brought in by
children in basketsful. This might not always be possible or easy. It might,
too, be too much for the main object of the show. But to some extent or other
it could be adopted. We have in our own gardens something similar in bright'
sands and gravel; why not utilise such a system?

Of the advisability of keeping many plants and even fruits below rather than
on the level with the eye, something was to be said. No doubt, many such
objects looked their best from above, and were more agreeably seen in that
position. innigoj orfi to ysM 1<

It was not, however, the speaker's object to do more than offer suggestions
and provoke discussion.

As to admitting that English growers and gardeners were inferior to fo¬
reigners, that was all nonsense. The English gardener has better turf, and. is
second to no one in skill and inventiveness, and all that was needed was to; call'
attention to a real want, and to devise means, without interfering with the real
requirements of a show, for making it as ■attractive- as- those necessary require¬
ments would admit.

The Rev. Canon Rock arid Mr. Wilson Saunders also made some remarks
on the subject;. ■ • <■ j

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,

Tuesday, Feb. 13, 1866.

His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch in the Chair.

The minutes of the last meeting; having been .read and signed, Messrs.,
Eortune and Booth were appointed scrutineers.

The Secretary (Mr. Wilson Saunders) then read the following Report:—

Report of the Council to the General Meeting,

February 13, 1866.

1 . In accordance with the announcement made at the last annual meeting
of the Society, the accounts annexed are laid before the Fellows this year so
as to show in a simple form the financial results of the year’s working. A full
statement of the Society's accounts has also been printed, as directed by the
charter, and copies can be had on application at the offices at S. Kensington.

2. The Council have the satisfaction of announcing to the Society that the
number of its Fellows continues to increase, and that the amount of their
subscriptions, which form the least fluctuating of its sources of income,
has risen in a higher ratio than the increase in its members. The number
of Fellows on the books on the 1st of January 1866 is nine more than it was
on the 1st of January of last year ; but the subscriptions for 1865 exceed those

of 1864 by 138/. 18s. 1 d. This comparatively greater augmentation in the
amount' subscribed than in the number of Fellows is to be attributed to the
important privileges which a subscriber of four guineas now enjoys from
both his tickets being transferable.

3. It is with great sorrow that the Council refer to the heavy losses by
death which the Society has lately suffered. It has seldom, if ever, happened
in the experience of the Society that three men of eminent horticultural
attainments have passed away in one year ; and whatever the extension of the
love of gardening— however illustrious the men enrolled in the ranks of
horticulture, the decease of three such men as Dr. Lindley, Sir William
Hooker, and Sir Joseph Paxton will be regarded as a serious calamity.
The Council propose to show how much the labours of these distinguished
men were appreciated in this Society by endeavouring to obtain the co-opera¬
tion of Government, and bodies pursuing branches of science collateral with
horticulture, in obtaining a life-sized group of them. They have also voted
that a memorial be instituted, in the form of a medal, in honour of Dr.Lindley’s
exertions in carrying out the objects of the Society, to be awarded only at
the Fruit and Floral meetings which he so long and so ably supported.

4. The balance of the receipts from the public throughout the year, and the
expenditure for bands, and for prizes, &c., at exhibitions, is more favourable to
the Society than in 1864 ; and the result of the year’s working tends to show
that small and frequent exhibitions, as they are more conducive to horti¬
cultural progress, so also are they less likely to occasion pecuniary losses than
the large exhibitions of past years. The Council continue, therefore, to be of
opinion that the Society should hold one great general exhibition only in
each year; and the best time for this exhibition they consider to be the end
of May or the beginning of June.

5. The income arising from letting portions of the arcades to exhibitors of
horticultural implements and ornaments is fast increasing, and the amount
shown under this head in the accompanying accounts will, it is expected,
be nearly doubled in the next financial statement. The Council have received
also many indications that the opportunity of comparing the manufactures
of various firms, afforded by these exhibitions, is very generally appreciated
by Fellows who have desired to make purchases for their gardens. This
arrangement, therefore, works well both for the Society and for the exhibitors.
The rentals from these lettings did not, it will be remembered, originally
form part of the income of the Society, but were presented to it by H.M.’s
Commissioners for 1851. The Commissioners have now also liberally given
to the Society the payments by the contractor for the right of supplying
refreshments in the gardens.

6. A comparison of the expenditure of the Society for the years 1863,
1864, and 1865, will show that a system of retrenchment in the working
expenses has been steadily pursued; and although in future the scientific
work of the Society will be carried on, as will hereafter be explained, on a
scale necessitating an increased expenditure under this head, the Council hope
that their arrangements will leave savings on other items which will more
than counterbalance the outlay on this, the first and the special object of the
Society.

7. The number of entrance’s to the gardens at South Kensington have been —

115,521 in 1863,

185,092 in 1864,

231,599 in 1865.

Of these entrances during the latter halves of 1864 and 1865 (before July
1864 the books were not so kept as to admit of comparison in this respect),
60,705 and 83,530 respectively have been Fellows and their friends. The
numbers are exclusive of the exceptional occasions of the uncovering of
the Prince Consort’s memorial in 1864, and of the anniversaries of the
Prince Consort’s birthday in the last two years. This increasing popularity
of the gardens with the Fellows as well as with the public augurs well for
the future of the Society.

8. In their annual report in February 1864, the Council announced to the
Fellows their desire to set apart portions of the garden at South Kensington to

be planted by nurserymen and florists of eminence, desirous of exhibiting the
plants specially cultivated by them. The magnificent rhododendron exhibitions
of Messrs. Watererand Godfrey, in the Great Tent, and the brilliant display of
tulips by Messrs. Henderson, last year, have fidly justified the anticipations
formed of the interest which would be thus given to the gardens ; and to this
interest the exhibition of spring flowers by Mr. William Paul— the com¬
mencement, probably, of a series of similar exhibitions— formed no unimportant
addition. That the nurserymen making these exhibitions desire to repeat and
improve them, the Council consider to be the best criterion by which to judge
of their appreciation by the Fellows.

9. The fruit and floral committees hay? never been more constant in their
work than in the past year. The average attendance of the members has been
9 and 15, and the number of meetings 19 and 21 respectively; and the subjects
brought before them for adjudication have been of unusual interest and
importance. The committees have also carried out at Chiswick some useful
trials on bedding and other plants, and a valuable series of experiments on
peas. Reports on these subjects will be found in the last number of the Pro¬
ceedings for the year 1865.

10. The fruit and floral meetings for the Fellows, which have followed the
committee meetings, have created a very general interest amongst those specially
devoted to horticulture. They are a revival of the old Regent Street meetings,
with which, in the beauty of the objects exhibited at least, and in the actual
numbers of visitors present, they do not compare unworthily ; but, considering
the excellence and rarity of the objects exhibited, they have not created that
interest among the Fellows generally which might have been expected. The
average attendance at these meetings in the month of May was 560, and of this
number a portion only entered the Exhibition-room. There is evidence, how¬
ever, tending to show that the small attendance on these occasions has been due
rather to ignorance as to the nature of these meetings than to indifference to
the pleasure which such exhibitions are capable of affording. The steps to
be taken to render the Tuesday meetings better known to the Fellows will be
hereafter mentioned.

11. The very large attendances at the Saturday shows and promenades, as
compared with the attendances at promenades in former years, give evidence,
indeed, that the exhibition of flowers adds greatly to the attraction of such
assemblies for the whole bodv of the Fellows. In the month of Mav in 1864

I V

the average attendance of visitors on a promenade day was under 400. In 1865,
the addition of a small flower show' to the promenade raised the average
attendance at the same period of the year to upwards of 2,000, of whom
three-fourths were Fellows and their friends.

12. The produce of Chiswick has not yielded so good a return as was
expected. This was due to two causes : the strawberry crop entirely failed ;
and, although the wall-fruit was good and plentiful, the general abundance
of fruit during the past season greatly reduced the prices obtained. The
Fellows have, as usual, been the chief purchasers of the more expensive fruits,
and the Saturday shows have been instrumental in enabling Fellows to
purchase fruits also which would otherwise have been sent to market. Further
arrangements are being made for the coming season, by which Fellows, to
whom it is inconvenient to go to Chiswick, will be enabled to partake more
freely of the privilege of purchasing the fruit and flowers grown there.

13. The number of visits made to the Chiswick Gardens by Fellows
during the past year wras 1,003, and 3,672 persons w-ere admitted by Fellows’
orders. Different members of the Society have received 1.530 packets of
cuttings, principally of fruit-trees ; and the number of plants, many of them
of considerable value, distributed by ballot has been 6,265 ; packets of flower
and vegetable seeds to the number of 376,884 have also been distributed
among the Fellows.

14. The Fellows will have remarked with pleasure that progress is being
made towards the completion of the structures of the garden at South Ken¬
sington. A considerable portion of the spandrils of the arches of the Upper
Arcades has been filled with terra-cotta bas-reliefs, and a contract has been
accepted for the completion, before the out-door season commences, of the

frieze ornamental work of the same arcades. This decoration, it will he
remembered, forms a portion of the work undertaken at the commencement of
last year by H.M. Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851.

15. In their arrangements for the coming season the Council hare endea¬
voured to work out the idea of uniting science and art. The past labours
of this Society have been the source from which the other nations of Europe
have chiefly derived their knowledge of the practice of sound gardening ; and
there is everything to encourage it in the endeavour to retain and increase the
prestige it has already gained. The love of gardening is stronger than ever
in the English people ; their appreciation of good fruit and vegetables is
certainly not exceeded abroad ; and the wealthy are yearly more lavish in
their pleasure-grounds and gardens. Botanists, meanwhile, are seeking to
utilise, for the advantage of their own special studies, the appliances which
horticulturists possess for aiding them in their work ; and horticulturists are
beginning to feel how much assistance they might receive from the physiological
botanist. At the International Exhibition which will, by the consent of the
Council, partly take place this year in the Gardens of the Boyal Horticultural
Society, it is proposed that a Botanical Congress shall be held, and many
botanists of eminence are likely to visit this country on the occasion.

16. By the appointment of the Rev. 31. J. Berkeley to advise the Society on
the botanical questions 'that arise, a link has been introduced which will
tend to place horticulture in its proper relation to the general study of the
vegetable kingdom ; and by uniting with him two practical horticulturists — -
the one an eminent authority in pomology, and the other in floriculture — the
Council hope that the ideas evolved by experiments at Chiswick, through
the labours of the fruit and floral committees, and by the results of the
shows, will be carried to practical conclusions. 3Ir. Berkeley, Doctor Hogg,
and Mr. 31oore will supervise the operations and conduct the experiments at
Chiswick; they will watch and report on, for publication in the Society’s
Journal, the fruit and floral meetings, and the shows of the Society ; and
the Journal, edited by Mr. Berkeley, will, as well as the Proceedings, be
issued gratis to the Fellows. It will also be the duty of Dr. Hogg and Mr.
3Ioore (the botanical examination is conducted by the Examiner for the
Society of Arts) to examine candidates for the Society’s certificates and
diplomas, both in theoretical and practical gardening; and to advise on the
mode of instruction of the young gardeners at Chiswick. Chiswick will thus
afford to young men desirous of taking a high position in their profession the
advantage of a training in a garden where a systematic course of experiment
is being carried out.

17. By these arrangements the Council hope to effect two important objects.
First, to spread a knowledge of what is being done both by the Society
and by horticulturists generally — so that a system may be worked out by
which the field of labour may be partitioned among horticulturists, and
experiments be suggested to them. Secondly, to procure the instruction,
either at Chiswick, or by the inducements held out to successful competitors
at the examinations, of as many as possible of the rising generation of gar¬
deners in those processes and methods which are likely to lead to successful
results. In some such manner only can we hope to bring together a sufficient
number of facts for arriving at safe generalisations on the effects of particular
modes of treatment on vegetable life.

18. The charge for admission to the public has been made half-a-crown for
all Tuesdays during the London season; and with the view of making the
fruit and floral meetings, which are held on the first and third Tuesday of the
month, better known to the Fellows, and as popular as they deserve to be,
the second promenade in the week during the summer months will be held on
the Tuesday. This promenade will commence at four o’clock, so as not to
interfere with the fruit and floral meetings, which take place at three. The
Fellows will retain the privilege of admitting two friends, and of using their
orders on this day.

19. It can hardly have escaped the attention of the Fellows that the number
of the Society’s contributions on the Saturday has been gradually increasing,
and the prizes offered for this year’s weekly shows will act as a further stimulus

to induce exhibitors to send such plants, flowers, and fruit as they may happen
to have in perfection at the end of the week. The Council desire to recall
to the Society that, in instituting those weekly shows, it was specially desired
to give to Fellows the opportunity of bringing to notice such beautiful objects
as would otherwise escape exhibition.

20. Wishing well to the International Exhibition before alluded to, the
Council have concluded arrangements with the Committee of Management
of the International Exhibition and Botanical Congress which will doubtless
prove satisfactory to the Fellows. Fellows and debenture-holders of the
Society are to have free admission to the whole show — both to the portion
which is within and that which is without the grounds of the Society — on the
second day of the exhibition ; and such portions of the show as maybe exhibited
in the garden will be open to Fellows and debenture-holders at all times,
excepting when the plants and fruits are being arranged and judged. The
Committee of Management of the International Exhibition have further under¬
taken to pay the Society the sum of 300/. in lieu of the receipts at the doors
for the week in which the exhibition takes place.

21. It is with pleasure that the Council announce to the Fellows that the
spacious hall for all kinds of meetings connected with the promotion of arts
and sciences is about to be erected, under the patronage of the Queen and the
presidency of the Prince of Wales, on the vacant site between the Conservatory
and Hyde Park. It will be an amphitheatre like the Colosseum at Pome,
capable of seating 6,000 persons with great comfort, and affording ample
and suitable space for flower shows and horticultural gatherings. This hall
will in many ways promote the interests of the Society's Hardens, and the
Council have felt it their duty to afford temporary accommodation for the
offices connected with it. A copy of the prospectus of the . Central Hall will
be given to any Fellow of the Society who applies for one at these offices.

22. The Council report with gratification that their appeal for subscriptions
for the late foreign collector of the Society, Mr. Weir, who wras disabled in its
service, has been liberally responded to by many of the Fellows ; but the sum
received is as yet too small for the purchase of an annuity adequate for his
maintenance, and the list still remains open. The Council do not propose, this
year, at least, to employ a foreign collector on the Society’s sole responsibility;
but two gentlemen, travelling on their own account — the one in Eastern Africa,
the other in the Brazils — have received commissions on the part of the
Society, and the Council will take every other available opportunity of
introducing new and interesting plants into their Harden. A collection of
plants made at Esperanga, in the province of Bahia, Brazil, has just been
received from Mr. E. Beed, and they will be carefully cultivated at Chiswick
for distribution among the Fellows.

23. It is with satisfaction that the Council call the attention of the Fellows
to the list of prizes offered by members of their own body, and by other
members of the Society, for special productions. These prizes are to be
awarded at the show on the 14th June next. Some of them are to encourage
the growth of tropical fruits, a branch of science of great interest to
horticulturists, and hitherto attended with many difficulties. These difficulties
will doubtless be surmounted, and the Council will be glad to aid the
endeavours now being made to overcome them in every way in their power.
As a further inducement to experiment, they are enabled through the
liberality of a Member of the Council to offer a prize of 10 guineas for the best
Essay on the Hrowth of Tropical Fruits, which may be sent to the Council
during the present year.

Sir Andrew Scott Waugh then moved the adoption of the Report.

The motion having been seconded by Mr. Blenkixs,

Mr. Hrenville rose, and requested some explanation might be given as to
the agreement between the International Horticultural Exhibition and the
Society, alluded to in the 20th paragraph of the Report.

Mr. H. Core, C.B., said that the main part of the Exhibition was not to be
held in these grounds : but if it were to be, he thought the arrangements were
still such as would give satisfaction to the Fellow's of the Society. They
would get admission as soon as the Exhibition was thrown open to the

XX PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

public. The first day was to be limited to those who are really paying the
expenses of the Exhibition, which, of course, would be very large. Such por¬
tions of the Show as may be held in the Gardens— that is, in the Society's pro¬
perty — would be open to the Fellows and Debenture-holders at all times,
excepting when the plants and fruit are being arranged and judged; besides this,
the first public day they would have free admittance to the whole Exhibition.

Mr. Grenville having expressed his entire satisfaction at the arrangements,

The Chairman put to the meeting the motion on the Report moved by Sir
A. Watigh, and seconded by Mr. Blenkins, ‘ That this Report be received and
approved of.’

The resolution was unanimously carried.

Mr. Saunders then read the Report of the Auditors.

The Chairman informed the meeting that the scrutineers had reported
the unanimous election of the Members of the Council and Officers for the
ensuing year, as follows : —

The retiring Members of the Council were Mr. Blandy, Mr. Kelk, M.P., and
Major Trevor Clarke ; in their room were elected the Viscount Sandon, the
Rt. Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., and Mr. Sigismund Rucker, F.L.S.

The following were elected Officers : — His Grace the Duke of Buceleuch, as
President; Mr. Geo. F. Wilson, F.R.S., as Treasurer; and Lieut.-Col. Scott,
R.E., as Secretary.

The Expenses Committee were Mr. Geo. F. Wilson, Lieut.-Col. Scott, R.E.,
and Mr. Henry Cole, C.B.

The Auditors — Mr. James Nicholson, Mr. Jonathan Clark, and Mr. Robert
Hudson — were reappointed.

The Assistant-Secretary read a Report from Mr. Lee, stating that the
value of the stock examined by himself and Mr. barker were at Soutli
Kensington, 3,783 1. 11s. 6r7.; at Chiswick, 2,202/. 15s.; making a total of
5,986/. 6s. 6eZ.

Mr. Walcott then called attention to the cheap admissions to the public ; at the
last annual meeting it had been agreed to try them for that year; he now asked
■what had been the success of this measure.

Lord Henry Lennox explained that financially it had been a greater
success than any other item that had come into the exchequer, but he hoped
the matter would be fully discussed.

Colonel Challoner objected to the cheap admissions — it lowered the
character of the Gardens. He would sooner have the Gardens thrown open
free on certain days than have so low a sum as id. charged for admission.

Mr. Bowring, as a representative of the Commissioners for the Exhibition of
1851, reminded the Fellows that the ground occupied by the Gardens had been
established by the proceeds of that Exhibition — so to speak, with the shillings
of the million— and therefore, to some extent, it might be considered the
property of the public at large. He felt, however, much inclined to agree with
Col. Challoner, and advocated, instead of a threepenny charge, a free day once
a week during the dull time of the year.

Lord Henry Lennox said that the subject had already been under the
consideration of the Council. Understanding that some objections would
be raised to the cheap admissions, he had come that day prepared to
propose another alternative to the meeting. The Council felt that one way or
another the gardens ought in the dull time of the year to be made available for
the amusement and recreation of artizans ; they were anxious to hear from the
meeting present what was their opinion. Should, therefore, the threepenny
admissions be continued, or should certain days in the week during the autumn
be made free? The Council had but one object, the advancement of the
interests of the Royal Horticultural Society.

After some further discussion, in which several Fellovrs took part, it was
agreed to leave the matter in the hands of the Council.

* Mr. Smith spoke in terms of praise of the manner in which the Tuesday
Floral Meetings had been conducted, and suggested that itwoidd be interesting
to many of the Fellows to have occasional elementary lectures on botam\

Mr. Bowring proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his conduct in
the chair; this being unanimously carried, the meeting separated.

Rhododendron Show.

Messrs. Waterer & Godfrey's show of rhododendrons in the great tent will
be in bloom about the end of May or beginning of June.

Ballot for Plants.

A Ballot for Plants will take place on Tuesday, May 1st, at 3 o’clock in the
afternoon. 4-Guinea Fellows, or 40-Guinea Life Members, are entitled to
name eight lots: 2-Guinea Fellows, or 20-Guinea Life Members, to name four
lots. It will be sufficient if Fellows will make a mark opposite the numbers of
the lots they select, and return their lists, with their names and addresses
written thereon, to the Assistant-Secretary, at the Offices of the Society, South
Kensington, W., on or before Tuesday, the 24th of April. After that date no
applications can be attended to. The result of the ballot will be communicated
in the “ Proceedings,” and the Plants, which the Fellows may obtain by it, as
well as those at the next ballot, will be forwarded all together at the close of
the season, unless Fellows intimate their wish to have them sooner, and in that
ease they are requested to notify how they wish them sent.

The list of plants is enclosed with this number of the “ Proceedings.”

Floral, Fruit, and General Meetings.

* .

The next General Meetings for election of Fellows and discussion of horticul¬
tural subjects will take place on Tuesday, April 3rd and 17th, and May 1st
and 15th. At these meetings the plants and fruit brought before the Floral
and Fruit Committee in the morning will be described.

Fellows and their friends are admitted to these meetings. The general public
are admitted to the Flower Show, on the termination of the meetings.

Fellows are earnestly requested to contribute towards making these meetings
instructive and attractive.

Exhibition of Spring Flowers.

The exhibition of hyacinths, roses, and other spring flowers, in the Society's
Gardens, by Mr. William Paul, Waltham Cross, commenced on the 21st of
March, and will be continued until the 3rd of April inclusive. The show, though
tine last year, is far exceeded by what Mr. Paul has accomplished this year.

Prizes for Saturday Shows of 1865.

The following are the medals gained by exhibitors at the Saturday Shows
in 1865 : —

Mr. William Bull, King’s Road, Chelsea ; 4 First Gold Banksian, 3 Second
Gold Banksian.

Messrs. J. & C. Lee, Royal Vineyard Nursery, Hammersmith ; 2 First Gold
Banksian, 1 Second Gold Banksian.

To Mr. William Bull was also awarded the Prince Consort’s Medal, for the
greatest number of marks; the Duke of Buccleuch’s Prize of 15/. for the
greatest number of first-class certificates ; and the Duke of Buccleuch's 2nd
Prize of 10/. for the greatest number of second-class certificates.

The exhibitions of Messrs. Bull & Lee were very spirited throughout the
year, and have greatly contributed to the success of the Saturday Meetings.

Mr. Bateman’s Challenge Medal for Orchids.

The accompanying table will show' the value of the awards made
during the last two years by the Floral Committee to the orchids exhibited
before it. It will be seen that Mr. Veiteli has during the years 1864-5 carried
off the greatest number of marks, and he is consequently declared to have
duly wron the Challenge Medal : —

XXIV PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Mr. Wilson Saunders’ Prize.

The Council desire to call the attention of Fellows to the concluding para¬
graph of their Yearly Report : — “ As a further inducement to experiment, they
are enabled, through the liberality of a Member of Council [Mr. W. Wilson
Saunders], to offer a prize of 10 guineas for the best Essay on the Growth of
Tropical Fruits, which may be sent to the Council during the present year.”

Imperial Agricultural Exhibition of Austria.

The Council are desirous of calling the attention of Fellows specially to the
accompanying letter from the Imperial Austrian Consul-General, and to request
them to use their best endeavours to give the letter as wide a circulation as
possible . January 26, 1866.

Sir,— The. Committee of the Imperial Agricultural Exhibition, which will take
place at Vienna in May next, is desirous that the division representing matters
pertaining :to horticulture and horticultural buildings should be well represented.

As the English management and practice of horticulture, and all its branches,
have been 'so eminently successful, and are so highly thought of, the Vienna
committee ■ would thankfully receive from the Royal Horticultural Society of
England, and other societies in this country connected with horticulture, plans,
sketches, and models hf farm-buildings, sheds, granaries, stables, and manufac¬
tories, plans for watering and drainage, and particulars connected with the
management of forests.

I trust, therefore, that you will be good enough to use your influence with
gentlemen connected with horticulture, to induce them to exhibit the above-
mentioned: objects, and as it is particularly desired that this branch of the
Vienna Exhibition should be successful, I shall be happy to receive, with a view
to communicating with them direct, the names of any other societies to which
you may consider it would be advisable to write them on this subject,

I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,

A. Rothschild,

Jersey, January 1st, 1866.

Dear Sir,— If you deem the following worth communicating to the Committee
for publication, he so good as to do so. I am aware that the tank system of
heating and forcing has been practised by many in past years on a large scale.
This led me to consider how, for amusement, which watching the growth of
plants daily might afford, it might be practised in my breakfast-room. Accor¬
dingly I got made a pan of stout zinc, of the following size — twelve inches wide
at top, ten inches deep, and nine inches wide at bottom ; below' this is a false
bottom three and a-lialf inches deep, to contain boiling water. To this lower
part is affixed a short spout, to be closed by an ordinary cork, or, if preferred,
a tap. On this side of the pan is a small pipe soldered, with a wide mouth,
all of zinc, by which to pour the hot w’ater into the lower space. Within the
pan broken oyster shells or any convenient drainage is placed, two or three
inches in depth, through which the warm air from the hot water is carried
into and absorbed by the earth above it, which should be seven or eight inches
deep — any mixture of soil which the amateur may fancy.

Plants from the seeds of geraniums, camellias, acacias, liliums, and others,
besides cuttings, have been raised by me in this way; every morning at
breakfast-time letting off the cold water into a convenient vessel, corking the
spout close, then pouring in a teapotful of boiling water.

Persons residing in towrns, not having a garden but possessing a greenhouse,
would find this a cheap and entertaining mode of raising plants from seed.
They should be transplanted or potted as if grown in ordinary garden frames.

It may be added that such forcing pans may be made of any size ; I have
one three feet long.

I am, dear Sir, yours truly,

J. Le Couteur, Col.

ANNUAL GENEEAL MEETING.

Tuesday, Feb. 12, 1867.

His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch in the Chair.

The minutes of the last meeting having been read and signed, Messrs.
Fortune and Booth were appointed scrutineers.

The Assistant-Secretary (Captain Cockerell) then read the following
Eeport : —

Eeport of the Council to the General Meeting,

February 12, 1867.

1. Notwithstanding the monetary distress of the past year, the Council are
able to report to the Fellows an increase in the amount of annual subscriptions.
The sums paid by Fellows as subscriptions in 1865 amounted to 7975/. Is. 1 d.,
and, as will be seen by the annexed statement of receipt and expenditure, their
annual subscriptions rose to 8176/. 9s. 6d. in 1866.

2. The rents for the Arcade lettings to Horticultural implement-makers have
also increased more than 80 per cent, since the year 1865, and during the last
12 months 320/. have been paid to the Society under this head, in addition to
the sum of 149/. 17s. received for Her Majesty’s Commissioners of 1851 for
the stalls in the South-Eastern Arcade.

3. The sales of Garden produce from Chiswick for 1866 have likewise ex¬
ceeded those of the previous year. In 1865 these sales brought in 650/. 3s. 8<rZ. ;
in 1866 they amounted to 717/. 15s. ocl. But for the failure of a considerable
portion of the Fruit crops — a failure under which all gardens in and about
London suffered — the receipts from this source would have been considerably
greater.

4. It will be seen, therefore, that in the sources of income least liable to
fluctuation, the Society has made decided progress, and although the receipts
from exhibitions and for daily admissions have fallen considerably below the
average, the Council are of opinion that the affairs of the Society, though
requiring strict economy, are in an encoimaging position, for these deficiencies
are traceable to causes which have affected every undertaking, whilst the pro¬
gress made can only be attributable to the increasing popularity of the Society,
and to the daily increasing number of wealthy residents in the neighbourhood
of the Gardens.

c

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HO RTIC tJLTUR AL SOCIETY.

5. The falling off in the receipts for exhibitions and admissions to the
Gardens is in part also attributable to another cause which Trill not probably
be of frequent recurrence. Although a payment was made to the Society from
the funds of the International Horticultural Exhibition — and this payment was
equivalent to that which is generally cleared by the First Great Show of the
Society, the place of which it took — it by no means represented the whole
diminution which it occasioned, directly and indirectly, to the receipts of the
Society. It was proposed, when this arrangement was made, that the Inter¬
national Exhibition should be open for four days only, but at the end of the four
days its receipts fell so far short of the anticipations of its promoters that they
found it necessary to apply to the Council for an extension of the time for which
the Gardens were granted. The 'Council, in the desire of saving from heavy
loss those who had so liberally given their names as the guarantors of an
undertaking devoted to the interests of Horticulture, at once acceded to the
request, and, from the serious financial failure which it threatened to become,
the undertaking was converted into a brilliant success.

6. A further deficiency in the receipts, as compared with those of 1865, was
occasioned by the abolition of the cheap admissions, in compliance with the
wish expressed by the Eeilous at the last annual geneial meeting, and unfortu¬
nately the free admissions which were granted to the public in lieu of them was
not so successful as to induce the Council to repeat them. They were taken
advantage of less by the classes for whom the boon was intended than by those
whose presence in the Gardens the Council had no desire to encourage.

7. It may be remembered by the Fellows that the Library of the late
Hr. Findley was last year announced for sale, and a proposition was made that
the Fellows of the Society should be invited to subscribe for its purchase.
The Council, however, having been given to understand that its purchase was
contemplated by the Committee of the International Exhibition, thought it
needless to bring it before the Fellows. Pending a decision concerning the
mode in which so desirable an object was to be attained, the Council decided to
advance the money for it, and they have now reason to believe that a portion
of the surplus from the International Exhibition will be applied to the forma¬
tion of a Horticultural Library at South Kensington, commencing with the
purchase of the Lindley Collection.

3. In carrying out the scheme for the year’s arrangements, the Council
have reduced the expenditure wherever it could be clone without impeding
the effective working of the Society, and an analysis of the accounts put into
the hands of the Fellows will show that the strictest economy has been exer¬
cised. The expenditure for the maintenance and improvement of Chiswick, and
for assistance given by the scientific staff, will hereafter Held its due return in
increased produce in the garden and in reputation to the Society, whilst to
have stopped the work which is being so ably carried on would have been very
injurious to it. For full information on this head Fellows are referred to the
annexed report of the Chiswick Board. In speaking of Chiswick Gardens,
the Council think it right to call the attention of the Fellows to the fact
that Mr. Thompson has now for a period of forty-five years rendered very
valuable services to the Society, the greater part of the time as the Superinten¬
dent of the fruit and vegetable department. His great age requires that he
should now have some rest from his labours, and, pending the adoption of any
ulterior measures that may be taken for his advantage, the Council propose to
continue to pay him the full amount of his present salary, leaving it to himself
to determine what he can best do to assist the Society.

9. The Education scheme for gardeners is working with success. The exami¬
nations held this year have resulted in thirteen young men receiving certificates
either for horticulture or fruit and vegetable culture. Five of these gardeners
are employed at Chiswick, five at the Eoyal Gardens at Kew, and three were
from private establishments. Of those who presented themselves for exami¬
nation, three had previously obtained certificates or prizes from the Society of
Arts, examining on behalf of the Boyal Horticultural Society. Two also
showed themselves worthy of election as Associates.

10. In their arrangements for the present year the Council have been induced
to try the experiment of extending the duration of the First Great Show to four
days, and the principal exhibitors hare promised their support in making the
experiment a success. It is proposed to hold the greater part of the Exhibition
in the Great Tent and in some additional canvas-covered spaces. The more
delicate plants will be shown in the Conservatory.

11. Eolations have been entered into with the Boyal Agricultural Society
for holding an Autumnal Fruit and Flower Show in the provinces in connec¬
tion with their annual Agricultural Show, and arrangements have been made
with them for a conjoint Exhibition at Bury St. Edmunds in July next.
The horticulturists of that place and of the adjoining counties have entered
into the scheme with a degree of spirit which indicates that the guarantee from
loss stipulated for by the Council as a condition of holding the Show is not
likely to be called into requisition. In a very few weeks from the announce¬
ment of the Council’s intention, the contributions to the guarantee fund
amounted to double the sum named as necessary ; and, in addition to the prizes
offered by this Society, cups &c. to the value of no less than 226/. have been
offered by Towns, Counties, Flower Societies, and private gentlemen. The
Council confidently expect, therefore, that the Show at Bury will not only
exercise a beneficial influence on Horticulture, but that it will conduce also
to the reputation of the Boyal Horticultural Society.

12. It was originally the intention of the Council to publish four numbers of
the Journal annually, to be paid for by subscriptions from such Fellows as
might wish to receive a copy of the work. The additional subscription did not,
however, find sufficient favour with the Fellows to enable the Council to pub¬
lish the Journal on this footing ; and the Council, unwilling to give up a plan
which appeared to them to be so important an aid to the objects of the Horti¬
cultural Society, have determined to do what is possible towards it by bringing-
out the numbers of the work at longer intervals, and supplying them at the
expense of the Society to the whole of its members.

13. These and other proposed alterations and reductions in the expenses of
management will, it is hoped, effect all that is necessary in the way of saving
without trenching on the privileges and the pleasures of the Fellows ; but the
Council desire to impress upon every subscriber the advantage to the cause of
Horticulture of inducing his friends to take a warmer interest in the work of
the Society, and to enrol themselves amongst its Fellows. No better way of
effecting this offers itself than that of bringing them to visit the Tuesday Fruit
and Floral Exhibitions of the Society. Under this belief the Council have
given to the Fellows the fullest privileges for these Shows, and they have also
raised the payment for admission to the Gardens on these occasions, to
enhance the advantages which the Fellows’ privilege of admitting friends
enables them to confer.

14. The Council are taking steps to get the tax removed from tobacco pur¬
chased for horticultural purposes, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
signified to the Council that he is very willing to receive a deputation of the
Society on this subject. He will fix an early day for the purpose, and the
deputation will be headed by the President of the Society, His Grace the
Duke of Buccleuch. It is the intention of the Council to invite the leading
Horticulturists of the country to join in it.

Beport of the Chiswick Board to the Council of the Boyal

Horticultural Society.

The attention of the Chiswick Board of Directors has, during the past year,
been more especially directed towards restoring the Gardens to their former
state of efficiency, so that little, comparatively, has been done of a strictly
scientific nature. Some successful attempts at Hybridizing however, have been

Cll

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

effected, the success of most of which is at present uncertain ; one, however, a
cross between the Ivy-leaved Pelargonium and some of the best zoned varieties,
has been happily accomplished, and it is hoped that out of the numerous
seedlings some striking novelties may be produced.

Attempts have also been made towards the cultivation of Truffles and different
kinds of Mushrooms. The truffle bed has not yet been disturbed, but a better
result than has attended other attempts is scarcely to be hoped for. It was,
however, thought right that it should be tried on the best principles; and should
it not succeed, they will not be deterred from further attempts. So little at
present is known of the growth of truffles in the infant state, that we must be
content to work a good deal in the dark. As regards the mushrooms, it
cannot be known till next autumn whether any success has been obtained.

A valuable series of observations on Radiation, and other cognate matters,
has been made at the suggestion of Mr. Hadwen, which will shortly be published
in the Journal.

Great pains have been taken in verifying some of the doubtful plants in the
collection.

The Directors feel great pleasure in reporting the great success which has
been achieved, as regards making the Gardens a school of Horticulture, by
the employment of students in the work of the Garden. The results of the
late examination are also very encouraging, and they think it may be
advantageous, both to the Society, and to young men entering on the pro¬
fession of gardening, if the number were extended as opportunities permit.

PoMOLOGICAL SECTION.

Fruit Department. — With the view of continuing the experiments in the
comparison of the numerous varieties of fruits now in the collection at the
garden, and especially in the vast number of vines, the glazed wall was con¬
verted a few years ago into an experimental vinery, where all the varieties are
trained against the wall on the “ single rod” system, by which means no less
than 128 varieties have been planted. The last was the first season in which
any great number of these vines produced fruit, and many important observa¬
tions were made which, however, it would be premature at present to announce,
until they have been confirmed by the experience of another season. It is
believed, from what the Board have seen, that many of these so-called new
varieties will prove to be old kinds under new names, some will be found to be
entirely worthless, while not a few must become useful and permanent additions
to those already in cultivation.

Great confusion exists among the large section of grapes included under the
name of Chasselas ; and for the purpose of throwing as much light as possible
on the subject, plants of all the varieties known to belong to that section have
been propagated and grown in pots, and in the ensuing year the whole collec¬
tion will be fruited, and many points on which much doubt has hitherto pre¬
vailed will be cleared up, and this important section of the grapes will be
reduced into proper order.

Another very important subject which has engaged the attention of the Board
is the collection of figs, of which there are now 7-f varieties in the gardeni Since
the last report was made, the house in which the figs were usually grown has
been entirely re-glazed ; every alternate sash-bar has been removed from the
lights, and the small squares of dirty glass with their numerous overlaps have
been supplanted by squares of large dimensions, thereby introducing a flood of
light, which is essential to the successful perfecting of the fruit of the fig.
Considerable progress has also been made in the identification of old varieties
under new names, and in the fruiting of others that have not hitherto been
introduced to this country ; but, as in the case of all new fruits, great caution
is required in coming to any conclusions on the subject, and, therefore, before
any report is made, the Board consider it judicious to repeat their observations
another season, when, judging from the promising appearance of the trees, they

cm

expect to derive greater facilities for coming to a satisfactory conclusion than
have hitherto been afforded.

For the last few seasons repeated attempts have been made to investigate
the collection of strawberries, but without effect ; the plantation which existed
in the garden having, in common with others throughout the country, suffered
from the successive effects of late spring frosts and summer droughts, it became
necessary to form an entirely new collection, including in it all the varieties
that were known to exist either in this country or the continent. Through the
liberality which always characterises the nursery trade in its relations to the
Society, the directors have the pleasure to report that the new plantation, which
has been formed on a newly-prepared piece of ground, now includes no less than
286 varieties ; and it is hoped that in the year 1868, should no untoward event
arise, a rare opportunity will be afforded to the Fellows of the Society and those
interested in the subject to study this extensive collection.

It has been found that the old collection of apples on paradise stocks which
occupies the borders of the orchard and kitchen garden, and which is coeval
with the existence of the garden, is rapidly falling into decay, and although by
certain treatment the trees might be renovated and rendered healthy and
fruitful, the expense and labour that would be incurred in arriving at this
result are so great that steps are being taken to gradually remove these old
trees and to form a new collection with others of a younger and more healthy
growth. Another and perhaps the greatest objection to the continuance of
these trees is the fact that most of them are grafted with several distinct
varieties, which in many instances have been double worked, and the evil
results that arise from this circumstance, where so many applications for grafts
are furnished to the Fellows from these trees, are in themselves sufficient
to justify the course which the Board propose to carry out. Every care
has been taken to preserve the full collection, and, in anticipation of the
destruction of the old trees, scions have been taken from them and worked upon
stocks which have now grown into handsome young trees ready to take the
place of their predecessors.

During the past season the plum and cherry crops have been an entire
failure, and for all practical purposes have been productive of no useful result.
The great uncertainty there is in securing a crop of cherries, whether from the
damage done to the bloom by late spring frosts, or by birds when a crop has
been obtained, has induced the Board to institute a course of experimental
examinations by growing the trees in pots and cultivating them under protec¬
tion. This appears to be the only alternative where a large collection has to
be dealt with, and wrhere it is impossible to protect every individual tree when
out of doors. The Board, therefore, propose in future to grow all new varieties
that may be received in pots, and to add to them when young trees can be
obtained all the old varieties in the garden, so that future experiments may be
carried out with some reasonable prospect of success.

Every opportunity is taken of securing the novelties which are announced,
and it is the object of the directors to render the collection of fruits in the
Chiswick Garden as complete as it is possible to be, so that it may become a
centre of reference upon all subjects relating to fruits and to fruit tree culture.
It is with much pleasure that they have to record the great liberality of
the Bev. John Huyshe, of Clysthydon, near Exeter, who has been the success¬
ful originator of several valuable varieties of pear bearing his name. Among
these varieties was one of unusual size and excellence, which has been named
Huyshe’s Prince Consort, and the entire stock of that variety Mr. Huyshe has
placed at the disposal of tho Society. Upwards of 100 young trees have been
propagated of it in the garden, and these, along with 200 or 300 scions sent by
Mr. Huyshe, have been distributed in the first ballot of this year.

It is gratifying to see the unabated interest which the nursery trade and others
connected with the pursuit of horticulture in the country manifest in the mainten¬
ance and success of the operations at the garden, as exemplified in the liberal
donations of any novelties they may possess, and the desire that the Society
should have an opportunity of comparing, examining, and proving the various

C1Y

subjects of horticultural interest. It is also an encouraging sign, and an
evidence of the important services the Society can render to hortictdture, to find
so many applications from so many of the professional as veil as amateur
Fellows of the Society for scions and seeds of fruit and ornamental trees, either
for the augmentation of their collections or for the careful preservation of the
nomenclature of the subjects of which these collections are composed.

Vegetable Departaiext. — In the vegetable department the experiments in
proving the varieties of new vegetables and comparing them with the old have
been continued. In the past season the Board resolved to investigate the
varieties of garden peas, and with this view obtained, through the liberality of
the nursery and seed trade, the seeds of considerably upwards of 100 sorts, all
of which were sown on ground skilfully and carefully prepared. Unfortunately,
however, the ravages of slugs and of other predatory insects, which resisted
every means adopted to exterminate them, were such as to entirely destroy the
whole crop, and this having occurred a second time with a crop sown after the
destruction of the first, the desired result was not obtained. The attempt will
be made again this season, when it is hoped that better fortune will attend our
labours.

The crops of which successful examinations have been made are onions, beet,
and celery, and of these the reports will be published in the journal of the
Society in due course.

Floral Sectiox.

As regards the Uloral Department, while the supply of Bedding plants for
South Kensington, as well as of Flowering and other Ornamental plants for
the decoration of the conservatory, has been maintained, other plants of interest
have from time to time, so far as the glass accommodation has permitted, been
sent from Chiswick to the Tuesday meetings and Saturday' Promenades. A
new lean-to house has now been erected, and a second house is in course of
removal from Kensington, for the purpose of more fully carrying out this latter
object. These additions, and some modifications with respect to the older
erections, will not only much facilitate the keeping up of these several supplies,
but will also give, to some extent, the increased facilities that were necessary
for experimental cultivation, and for supplying plants for the ballot dis¬
tributions.

The cultivation of Xew Flowers for examination by the Floral Committee has
been carried on as usual. In the course of the season, the trial beds have not
only proved attractive to those who visited the Garden, but have afforded valu¬
able information, to many persons who sought it, as to the habits, qualities,
and colours of the different plants. To the trial beds of former years was
added, during the past year, a series of beds for the growth of examples of the
now fashionable group of Sub-tropical Plants so much used for summer garden
decoration, and a very interesting collection of these was brought together.
The thanks of the Fellows are due to those gentlemen who were good enough
to contribute these various subjects, intended either for experimental culture or
for purposes of public reference.

A considerable space of ground, which had been previously prepared for the
purpose, was during the past season planted with a choice collection of Conifers
presented to the Society by Messrs. Teitch & Sons, hlessrs. Materer 6c Godfrey,
Messrs. Lee, Messrs. Osborn 6c Sons. Mr. Dancer, Mr. Standish, and Mr. TT.
Paul. "When established, these will afford useful information to those gentle¬
men who may wish to make selections for ornamental planting. A collection of
Boses was also contributed by Mr. TT. Paul, Mr. C. Turner, Messrs. Bivers &
Son. and Messrs. Mood 6c Son.

It is yet too early to ascertain the amount of damage occasioned by the
excessive cold to which the Chiswick Garden was exposed during the frosts of
January 1867, but it is to be feared that half-hardy subjects will have suffered
severely. -

The Bev. Geo. Cheere moved that the Beport be adopted.

Mr. Harry Chester and Mir. Edgar A. Bowring then made some observations

The Society has to record the loss by death last 37ear of the undermentioned
Fellows : —

Robert Verschoyle, Esq., of 116 Eaton Square, S.W., aged 73.

Edward Haynes, Esq., of 24 South Molton Street, Oxford Street, W.

John Loveday, Esq., of Williamscot, Banbury, Oxfordshire.

J. Fergus, Esq., of 1 Queen’s Gate Gardens, Hyde Park, AV.

Miss I. C. Thomson, of Ellerslie Lodge, Campden Hill, W.

General IIigginson, of 9 AVilton Crescent, Belgrave Square, S.AV.

23rd February. — Mr. Robert Osborn, of The Nursery, King's Road, Fulham,
aged 84. He first suggested to the late Mr. Loudon the want of a book of
instruction for young gardeners, and assisted in the compilation of a small
wurk called “ The Young Gardener’s Assistant.” Born in the North Riding of
Yorkshire, he was employed some time in the gardens of Aske Hall, near Rich¬
mond, in the same county. Coming to London, still very young, he was
received into the nursery of the Messrs. Gray, at Brompton ; but was shortly
introduced as gardener to the late John Penn, Esq., of Stoke Park, near
AVindsor — a gentleman of exquisite taste, and then remodelling his grounds — •

to whom Mr. Osborn proved a most valuable assistant. Paying much attention
to landscape gardening — being a good draughtsman, well acquainted with
mathematics and mechanics, and having a thorough knowledge of land-survey¬
ing, with other requisites for a first-class steward — he was soon promoted to
that office, and retained it to the time of his patron’s death. Having been
some years a sleeping partner in a nursery establishment, he, on the death of
Mr. Penn, decided upon making it his business, and removed to Fulham, joining
the old firm of Whitley, Brames & Milne, the two latter partners retiring.
He, however, still retained the agency to the Penn family up to the time
of his decease ; and he had been more than thirty years Steward of the
Manor of Eton. He became a member of the Horticultural .Society in 1834,
and although he never appeared prominently before the public as a cultivator
or botanist, he had a good general knowledge of his profession ; and the
manner in which he conducted his business invariably ensured him the con¬
fidence and esteem of all who had any connection with him.

3rd March. — Mr. Francis Dickson, of 106 East Gate Street, Chester, aged
73. An intimate friend of Loudon’s, and wais much consulted by him in many
of his works, and quoted by him also. Was an earnest enthusiast in his pro¬
fession (nurseryman), and brought together at one time perhaps the finest
collection of hardy trees and plants in the kingdom — more particularly rare
herbaceous and Alpine plants, his collection of which was considered unique.
Delighted in cultivating plants the most difficult and critical of management, by
studying their natural habitats and their peculiarities; also coniferae, of which
he had a very fine collection, in addition to the above. Was born in Edinburgh,
and vTas the youngest son of — Dickson, who established the celebrated nurseries
there bearing his name. Came to Chester in 1/19, and established the well-
known nurseries there. W as much and universally respected. A man of sterling
integrity, kind and genial disposition, delighted in the society of men who
loved their profession, and was considered by those best able to judge to be
about the cleverest nurseryman of his day.

and Curator of tlie Herbarium to the University of Dublin, Professor of Botany
to the Museum of Irish Industry, Member of the Royal Irish Academy, Member
of the Royal Dublin Society, Honorary Member of the Horticultural Society
and of several foreign scientific associations. The following are the literal-
works which he has published, or with which he was connected : — “ Phycologia
Britannica,” “The Manual of British Algae,” “Xereis Australis,” “The Sea¬
side Book.” “Phycologia Australica,” “ Flora Capensis,” “Xereis Boreale
Americana,” “ Index Generum Algorum ;” numerous contributions to “Hooker's
•Journal of Botany,” the Linnean Society, Royal Irish Academy, Dublin Xatural
Historv Soeietv, and other scientific societies. As Professor of Botanv to the
University of Dublin he took much interest in its botanic garden; and, filling a
like office to the Royal Dublin Society, he took much interest also in the fine
botanic gardens belonging to this society. Though an ardent inquirer in the
general field of botany, his speciality was in the study and illustration of marine
botany, and as an algologist he had no superior. From an early period of life
he was an enthusiastic student in natural history, but especially in the botanical
department. In its pursuit he made a voyage round the world. He also visited
the United States of America and Canada, and three times visited the Cape of
Good Hope, where he spent several years. In his tour round the globe he
visited Ceylon, the various colonies in Australia, Tan Diemen’s Land, Xew
Zealand, the islands in the South Pacific Ocean, Cliili, and home to Europe by
the Isthmus of Panama.

29th May. — Jonathan Clark, Esq., of The Mall, Chiswick, W., aged 76;
for many years one of the auditors of this society.

31st May. — George John Warren, fifth Baron Vernon, of Ivinderton, aged
62. Seat, Sudbury Hall, Derby. Corresponding Member of the Society della
Crusea. He published the four first editions of Dante in parallel columns, and
was engaged for many years in the preparation of anillustrated and paraphrased
edition of the works of Dante, which will shortly be published. His garden is
extensive, and was originally laid out by Gilpin in 1837, at which date many
varieties of coniferous and evergreen trees and shrubs were planted, and amongst
others he introduced the Berberis, which has now become so general. Before
selling the property he possessed in that town, he gave, in 1850, a public park
to the people of Stockport, which town adjoins his colliery property in Cheshire.
He was an enthusiast about rifle shooting. Many years before that subject
occupied the attention of the British public, he contended annually at the various
Tirs in Switzerland — on one occasion winning the first prize at the Tir Xational,
and on another occasion the second. On the establishment of the Volunteer
force in this country he was one of its warmest and earliest supporters, and
erected in his park at Sudbury a butt with twelve targets, on the Swiss
principle, with the view of proving, as he did conclusively, that that system
ensured greater rapidity of firing, greater accuracy of marking, and greater
safety than any other which is followed in this country.

2nd June. — Matthew Clark, Esq., of 26 Pembridge Square, Hyde Park, W,
aged 81.

3rd June. — J. D. Mullens, Esq., of 16 Cambridge Square, Hyde Park, W.

21st June.— Colonel Hugh Balllie, of 65 Rutland Gate, S.W., aged 90.

23rd June. — Mrs. Beyis E. Green, of 5 Kensington Palace Gardens, W.

26th June. — Richard Garrett, Esq., of Carlton Hall, Saxmundham, Suffolk,
aged 60. Among the public movements which first enlisted Mr. Garrett’s
interest was the Royal Agricultural Society of England. In its earliest days
he was one of the first exhibitors at its annual meetings, and afterwards he was
elected, for many years in succession, one of the members of the Council, and
none took a more active part in its useful operations. The Smithfield Club also
found him a most earnest supporter, and he was among the first who promoted
and supported its exhibition of agricultural machinery. When its increasing

popularity and success required a more commodious building, lie with others
projected the Agricultural Hall in Islington, and shared the general exultation
at the rise of a building which is not more remarkable for its adaptation for
an immense gathering of men and things, than as an instance of a new and
large scale of utilitarian architecture.

27th dime. — Alderman Sir Henry Muggeridge, of St. Andrew’s Hill, E.C.,
aged 51.

30th June.— Frederick Philips, Esq., of Phual, Mold, Flintshire.

contributor of collections of Pelargoniums that were shown at the Horticultural
Society’s exhibitions at Chiswick, and for many years the most successful
grower. He was also an early exhibitor of Balsams and Coxcombs, and of these
he was a successful cultivator; in fact, Balsams have not, since he ceased to
grow them, been seen so large and fine as he showed them. He was a true
lover of gardening and flowers, and his great aim was to grow them better than
anyone else, and in this he was eminently successful.

5th July. — Heart Petty F itzmatjrice, Marquis of Laxsdowxe, of Berkeley
Square, Tv. ; and Bowood, Caine, Wilts, aged 50. He patronised gardening
generally, and his garden contains a good collection of Conifers. His grounds
are noted for fine specimens of rare trees planted. (1770 — 1780) by the first
Marquis. The short time which he held the family estates did not allow of his
indulging much in gardening ; but, had he lived, he would midoubteclly have
done much to encorn’age a taste for the old French style of gardening (La Loire's)
— of which he was a great admirer, and about which he possessed great taste and
judgment — as well as of the Italian style, as exhibited in the old gardens near
and around Borne. In this department of art his judgment and taste were
certainly unique.

Fair, W. ; Lanesborough Lodge, Belturbet, Co. Cavan ; and Swithland Hall,

stake in it, and was Chairman and Managing Director at the time of his death.

3rd September. — John Jackson Bland y, Esq., of Highgrove, Beading, aged
72. Mr. Blandiy’s name was long known in connection with the Boyal Horti¬
cultural Society. He was for many years a prominent member of the Comieil,
and was also a Vice-President of the Society till within a few months of his
death, when he retired by rotation from the Council as being the oldest member.
He exhibited at the usual great London Shows and at the principal Horti¬
cultural Shows within a radius of forty miles of Beading. He kept up his own
gardens and grounds in the best style. The Bhododendron Blandianum

CXXV111 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

REGULATIONS.

1. All persons, whether Fellows of the Society or not. are invited to exhibit
at the Floral Meetings, and to contribute to the formation of the Collections at
Chiswick.

2. The subjects for the consideration of the Committee are to be delivered at
the Council Room, South Kensington, not later than 10.30 a.m., so as to be
entered in the books before 11 o’clock.

3. The necessary particulars respecting each subject exhibited are to be com¬
municated in writing to the Secretary of the Committee.

Note.— The name and post address of the Exhibitor ; the name of the flower, if a seedling,
and that of the native country if an importation, will be considered necessary particulars.
Exhibitors are invited to communicate in writing such further details of the origin and intro¬
duction or peculiarities of their flowers as they may think interesting for publication. If
these are legibly written on cards sent with the plants, it will greatly add to the interest
which will be felt in such exhibition, by the Fellows who attend to inspect the plants at the
conclusion of the Floral meeting.

4. The merits of the subjects exhibited shall not be discussed or decided on
in the presence of the owners, or of persons interested in them.

5. Sufficient examples of every subject exhibited to enable the Committee to
form a fair opinion of its qualities must be produced. In all practicable cases,
the growing plant will be required. Each kind will have to be separately
entered.

Note. — Exhibitors of seedling florists' flowers, and others, will facilitate the working of
the Committee by the production of specimens and collections of known varieties to serve as
references, and for comparison vTith novelties.

To save expenses of carriage, and to facilitate exhibitions by amateur growers, cut speci¬
mens, if sufficiently ample, will be admissible in cases where the habit of the plant is well
known, as, for example, in many newly-imported varieties of cultivated species of Orchids.

f 6. All Seedling Flowers must be named, as a means of future recogni¬
tion ; if not named, they will be passed over.

7. Newly imported, or other new species of plants, not florists’ varieties,
will have to be submitted to the Botanical Director, that they may be correctly
named.

Note. — Exhibitors of this class of plants will greatly facilitate the operations of the Com¬
mittee by forwarding, whenever practicable , previous to the days of meeting, materials for
examination, and it will be regarded as an indispensable condition of their being examined,
that the countries from which they may have been imported shall be correctly stated. These
materials are to be sent to the Society’s offices, addressed to “ The Botanical Director.”

8. The Committee will exercise the power of examining with the necessary
minuteness all subjects submitted for its opinion.

9. First-Class, Second-Class, and Special Certificates and Commenda¬
tion will be awarded, at the discretion of the majority of the members
present, to such of the novelties exhibited as may be thought sufficiently
deserving.

10. Medals will be awarded by the Council for subjects recommended by
the Committee as evincing meritorious cultivation, but which are not exhibited
as novelties.

11. All packages of plants or flowers must be delivered Carriage Free , and
must be forwarded at the risk of the sender.

12. No award will be made to yearling seedlings of Cinerarias or Pelargo¬
niums, nor will any judicial opinion be passed upon their merits ; but they
may be staged for inspection.

13. If the subjects, whether plants or cut flowers, are left for the night, it
will be at the risk of the senders, but all ordinary care will be used to protect
them from injury.

14. All plants or flowers sent to the Garden for trial shall be submitted for
the opinion of the Committee ; and no official opinion on the merits of such
plants or flowers shall be given by any paid officer of the Society.

CXXX1

SCHEDULES FOE THE GEAND SUMMER EXHIBITION
TO BE HEED AT BUET ST. EDMUNDS,

16th to 19th JULY 1867.

- »o» -

X.B. — The tents will be ready for the reception of plants on Monday, Judy loth ,
and it is hoped that all who can will bring them in on that day.

Keguiations for the Exhibition.

I. The prizes offered in the accompanying Schedule are open to all competi¬
tors complying with these Eules.

II. Exhibitors must give at least fourteen clear days' notice in writing of the
class or classes in which they intend to compete, and of the average diameter
of the plants to be exhibited.

This is to be done by filling up and forwarding to the Superintendent at
South Kensington the printed forms provided for the purpose.

III. Cards corresponding with the entries will be furnished on the morning
of the Exhibition at the entrance to the Tents.

Exhibitors will be responsible for the proper placing of these cards, and
they are requested to satisfy themselves that the cards correctly describe the
objects exhibited.

The Society cannot correct, or be responsible for, mistakes arising from the
non-observance of this or any other Buie.

IV. No specimens will be received after half-past eight o’clock on the morn¬
ing of the Exhibition.

The Superintendent has instructions to refuse all exhibitions which he con¬
siders unworthy of being shown.

V. Officers of the Society will direct the placing of all specimens.

It is necessary that all flowers or plants be carefully labelled with their
scientific names, and, where practicable, with the name of the country whence
introduced. Florists’ flowers and fruits must bear their customary names.

VI. Only bond fide exhibitors, and such assistants as may be absolutely
required for the arrangement of their specimens, will be admitted before the
doors are closed at half-past eight a.m. ; after this hour no person will be
allowed to enter, and all persons must retire before ten a.m., except such as may
be officially retained by the Society.

VII. A clear passage-way to the stands and tables must be preserved during
the hours of arrangement, and all persons obstructing it will be subject to im¬
mediate removal from the Tents.

The Judges will proceed to make their awards at 10 a.m., before which hour
the exhibitors’ arrangements must be completed.

CXXX11 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

VIII. One prize only can be awarded to any exhibitor in any class, except
those for Miscellaneous Subjects and Xew Plants.

The Judges hare the right of withholding the prize where specimens may be
considered unworthy of it, in order to prevent an inferior collection obtaining
an award.

The Judges will be at liberty to add to the number of prizes specified, in
cases of very decided merit, so long as they do not exceed the total amount
offered in each class.

IX. All specimens must be the Iona fide property of the exhibitor or his
master, or they will not be eligible to compete for the prizes. At least one
month’s previous possession will be considered requisite to constitute ownership,
except in well-ascertained cases of plants newly imported.

X. The decision of the Judges is final. Any prize fraudulently obtained
will be forfeited, and will be awarded to the prize-holder immediately suc¬
ceeding in the class.

Seedling Flowers exhibited as novelties must be named.

_ XI. Exhibitors’ pass-tickets will be furnished as follows : —

Classes containing 9 plants and upwards ; for first collection, 3 passes, and
1 for each additional collection.

Classes containing 6 plants and upwards; for first collection, 2 passes,
and 1 for each additional collection.

X.B. — In classes where the plants are small, the numbers of tickets given
will be reduced, and no ticket will be given for a single Specimen Plant,
or a single dish of Fruit.

Xo exhibitor can take more than 6 passes.

Breakfast Tickets will be issued in equal numbers with the passes.

XII. The Exhibition will close at five o’clock on the 19th July, after which
time all specimens will be given up to their owners, or to such persons as
may be authorized to receive them.

Danube. He was on his way to the scene of his labours and adventures and
botanical researches of 37 years, for the last time, in high health and spirits.
His kind and generous nature took him on board the Danube (ten days and
more after he had safely left that ill-fated ship), to inquire after the health of
the captain. The taint of the fatal fever set upon him ; he died the third day.
If he had lived to return to England, he would have accomplished his 40th
voyage across the Atlantic Ocean !

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ROBERT THOMPSON,

Of the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens, Chiswick.

The retirement of Mr. Robert Thompson from active duty in the service of
the Royal Horticultural Society has been thought, by his numerous friends, to
offer a fitting occasion on which to present him with a substantial Testimonial,
expressive of their cordial sympathy with him in his declining years and indi¬
cating also their high appreciation of the many services which he has rendered
to Pomology and Meteorology during a long and active life.

The Council of the Royal Horticultural Society, acting as the exponents of
the wishes which have been expressed, that Mr. Thompson’s services should be
publicly recognised in this way, have taken the initiative, by inviting several
gentlemen connected with horticulture to attend a preliminary meeting, at
which a committee was named, to carry out the proposed object.

The many services rendered by Mr. Thompson, both to Horticultural and
Meteorological Science, are well known to those who are actively engaged in
these pursuits, but it may be proper, on such an occasion as the present, to
briefly recapitulate them. For upwards of forty years, then, he has held a
prominent position in the working stall of the Royal Horticultural Society.
He entered the Society’s service in 1824, the second year after the establish¬
ment of the garden at Chiswick, and in 1826 was appointed to the charge of
the Fruit Department, which then contained the finest and most extensive col¬
lection of fruits in Europe. At that time comparatively few of the varieties
were known in this country, and the whole nomenclature was in a state of
confusion, requiring unwearied application and perseverance to clear it up, so
that the riches of the collection might be made available to the Fellows of the
Society and to the country. In 1831 a descriptive catalogue of these fruits
was published, from memoranda taken at Chiswick; and in this valuable Avoik
Mr. Thompson, with great success, succeeded in carrying out his design of
indicating the good and the bad sorts, together with their synonyms, and such

B

brief characteristics as it was thought would be most generally useful. By
means of this catalogue a knowledge of tho superior kinds of fruit was much
more rapidly spread throughout the country than it could have been by any
other available means. The distribution of scions of new fruits was conse-
quently carried on with assiduity, much consideration being bestowed in
endeavouring to select such kinds as were most likely to succeed in the localities
for which they were destined.

While this important work was year after year being carried out, Mr.
Thompson was engaged in making experiments both in the Fruit and Kitchen
Garden departments, carefully reporting the results ; in taking descriptions of
new varieties of fruits as they came into bearing ; and in preparing another
edition of the Fruit Catalogue, which was published in 1842, and a Supplement
in 1853. These descriptions and records have been of the greatest practical
utility. Upwards of 2,000 pages of the Society’s various publications have
been written by Mr. Thompson, but the Fruit Catalogue claims prominence, as
having been the standard of fruit nomenclature in this country; while his
“ Gardeners’ Assistant,” a work not connected with the Society, may be charac¬
terised as the best and most scientific of compendious treatises on modern
gardening.

For a nearly similar period Mr. Thompson has devoted much attention to
meteorology. The “ Meteorological Journal” of the Society, which was com¬
menced in 1826, and which has been carried on by him since 1830, gives the
readings of the barometer (corrected for temperature, &c. morning, noon, and
night), of the thermometer, maximum and minimum, in sun and shade, and of
the hygrometer ; comparatively with averages of forty years deduced from
219,000 observations of the various instruments. Such broad averages afford
what must be considered as true means with which extremes may be compared
as regards heat, pressure, and moisture. The observations of sixteen years
have been translated from the Transactions of the Horticultural Society into
those of the Boyal Ihilosophical Society of Berlin ; and up to the present
time a weekly return has been published in the “Gardeners’ Chronicle.”
Among other papers from Mr. Thompson’s hand, connected with this branch of
science, is a Table of Temperatures for the use of Gardeners, published in the
Journal of the Horticultural Society, which furnishes an idea of the climate of
some 900 places, situated in different latitudes.

With a modesty peculiarly his own, and with a degree of plodding persever¬
ance which cannot be too highly recommended as an example to the rising
generation of horticulturists, Mr. Thompson has worked on at these, his
favourite pursuits, with zeal and assiduity, setting before himself the object of
rendering service to science rather than that of personal gain ; and now, after
a long and useful career, when his physical powers begin to fail him, it has
been thought that an expression of public sympathy, in acknowledgment of his
life-long labours, would serve to gladden and solace the remaining years of his
life.

original subscribers to the Royal Botanic Society. Sir Benjamin was a great
lover of flowers, and laid out his own gardens at Llanoyer, which are remarkable
for the immense profusion of flowers out of doors. He never had a green¬
house, but was most successful in preserving thousands of cuttings in pits for
planting out in the spring. He was very fond of the Fir-tree tribe, the
Heodara, Wellingtonia, and Araucaria especially flourishing in his grounds,
as well as other evergreens. He personally superintended the cultivation
of his Roses, of which he had separate plantations. He also was very
partial to Magnolias, and had many fine varieties growing at Llanover.
Also Paulonias and the scarlet-berried elder (from the Black Forest in
Germany), reared from seed sent by Frances Baroness de Bunsen, of which
tree the late Sir William Hooker said it was most rare to see it flourish
in Great Britain, and that it never succeeded at Kew. It is luxuriant at Llan¬
over, bearing profusely clusters of resplendent berries, the colour of scarlet
sealing-wax. Lord LlanovePs gardens have numberless shrubs and trees
raised from the seed brought by himself and Lady Llanover from Italy, Swit¬
zerland, and Germany. Among these there are Virginian Creepers and varieties
of nuts. These gardens are remarkable for the combination of woodland
scenery and native forest trees, especially the Holly, entwined with climbing
Roses, and many flowering shrubs, with wide walks amidst scenes of sylvan
beauty, intermingled with abundance of water — rapid brooks, pools, fountains,
and numerous wells.

him, more especially the Flower Garden, which was designed by him. During
the spring and autumn, which seasons he generally spent at Formant oil, the

Scientific Horticulture.

The following resolutions were passed at a recent meeting of the Council.
Further information will be communicated in the next number of the “ Pro¬
ceedings.”

1. The Fruit and Floral Committees of the Royal Horticultural Society have
for their objects the encouragement of the production of new and improved
varieties of fruits and vegetables, plants and flowers, and the examination of
the pomological and floral subj ects submitted at the meetings, or grown in the
Society’s Garden, at Chiswick ; and these committees have dealt with the
results of Horticultural practice brought under their notice in a manner which
leaves little to be desired. The Fruit Committee have also disseminated
reliable information respecting the adaptability of particular kinds of fruits to
the varied conditions of soil, locality, &c., throughout the United Kingdom.

2. At the general meetings of the Society, the objects of scientific interest
which have appeared before the Fruit and Floral Committee meetings, together
with other points bearing on physiology and the culture of plants and trees,
have been regularly brought forward and occasionally discussed.

3. The Council now consider it advisable to invite the co-operation of
physiological botanists and of chemists in the formation of a Committee, whose
special functions shall be to promote and encourage the application of physiology
and botany to purposes of practical culture, whether of plants, or trees and
shrubs, and to originate experiments which may assist in the elucidation of
such questions.

4. The Committee shall consist of a chairman, who shall be a member of
Council, three vice-chairmen, and any number of gentlemen, whether Fellows
or not, interested in vegetable plrysiology and horticultural chemistry. The
three Horticultural Directors are to be considered ex-ofiicio members of the
Committee.

5. The Committee shall sit on the days fixed for the general meetings of the
Society, or at such times and places as may be found convenient.

6. The foregoing resolutions shall, as a preliminary step, be communicated
to botanists, physiologists and chemists of distinction, with a request for their
co-operation as members of the Committee, or as corresponding members.

Examination of Gardeners.

The Council, on the report of the Examiners of the Society, have much
pleasure in announcing the result of the examination on 17th December
last, and the following certificates have been conferred : —

Chiswick Students.

The Council is glad to have to state that the Chiswick Board of Directors
report that the two senior students — those who have continued at the (Garden
since the movement was first organised two years since — are now eligible to
enter on situations of trust. They have both highly distinguished themselves
at the examinations, and are reported by the Superintendent to be persever¬
ing young men, well grounded in the art and practice of gardening.

Baixot for Plants.

A Ballot for Plants will take place on Tuesday April 21st, at 3 o’clock in the
afternoon. 4-Guinea Fellows, or 40-Guinea Life Members, are entitled to
name eight lots ; 2-Guinea Fellows, or 20-Guinea Life Members, to name four
lots. It will be sufficient if Fellows will make a mark opposite the numbers
of the lots they select, and return their lists, with their names and addresses
written thereon, to the Assistant-Secretary (James Richards), at the Offices
of the Society, South Kensington, W., on or before Tuesday, the 7th
April. After that date no applications can be attended to. The result of the
ballot will be communicated in the “Proceedings and the plants which the
Fellows may obtain by it, together with those gained at the ballot 18th
February, will be forwarded together at the close of the season, unless Fellows
intimate their wish to have them sooner, and in that case they are requested to
notify how they wish them sent.

The list of plants is enclosed with this number of the “ Proceedings.”

N.B.— The result of the ballot on 18th February last is also published with
this number of the “ Proceedings.”

Garden Superintendent.

The Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have to announce that they
have arranged with the Garden Superintendent, Mr. George Eyles, that he
shall give to Fellows of the Society his advice and assistance in the laying-out
and management of their gardens, at the rate of one guinea per visit, with
travelling expenses.

Thompson Testimonial.

Attention was called in the last number cf the “ Proceedings,” page clxix.,
to a Testimonial in favour of Mr. Robert Thompson, of the Royal Horticul¬
tural Society’s Garden, Chiswick, and a list of the subscribers thereto was pub¬
lished. The following additional names have since been added to the list : —

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,

Tuesday, Feb. 11, 1868.

Mr. W. Wilson Saunders, F.R.S. in the Chair.

Th6 minutes of the last Annual Meeting having been read and signed,
Messrs. Geo. E. Blenkins and Robert Fortune were appointed scrutineers.

The Assistant-Secretary (James Richards) then read the following
Report.

Report of the Council to the General Meeting.

11th February 1868.

1. The Council is happy to be able to make, on the whole, a satisfactory
Report to the Fellows of the present state and future prospects of the Society.
The subscriptions received from Fellows during the past year amount to
£8,027, as compared with £8,176 in 1866, £7,975 in 1865, and £7,8!0 in
186-1. One gratifying sign of growing confidence in the future of the Society
is the fact of twenty-live old Fellows of the Society, who had resigned, having
again become members.

2. A new and most legitimate and promising source of future income has
also been opened, while a wider sphere has at the same time been given to the
operations of the Society. The Exhibition at Bury St. Edmunds, which was
announced in last year’s Report, has more than answered the most sanguine
expectations of its promoters. In spite of unpropitious weather, it proved not
only eminently successful as an Horticultural Exhibition, but also as a finan¬
cial speculation. The Council confidently anticipates a still more decided
success from the Show which it is proposed to hold this year at Leicester ; for
there is no reason to doubt that the interest, great as it was, which was taken
in the success of their Show by the horticulturists of Bury St. Edmunds and its
neighbourhood will be at least equalled at Leicester, while the population of
the latter town is very much greater. The deputation which was sent by the
Society to make the necessary arrangements there met, moreover, with the
most gratifying assurances of support ; a guarantee fund was raised in the
town without any difficulty, and special prizes to a large amount have already
been promised. The Autumnal Provincial Shows thus bid fair to become one
of the most effectual and popular means of furthering the objects for Avhich the
Society is incorporated ; and, while they may be expected to add considerably
to the funds of the Society, will tend to encourage and promote the study and
love of Horticulture throughout the country.

3. The Council refer also with the most lively satisfaction to another evi¬
dence of the increasing usefulness and spreading influence of the Society.
There are now no less than 52 Florieultural and Horticultural Societies in
union, and of these 24 joined during the p>ast year.

4. The accounts of the Society, which have been placed in the hands of the
Fellows, will further show that the Council did not take too hopeful a view
of the affairs of the Society when at this time last year they expressed the
opinion that, though requiring strict economy, its affairs were in an encoura¬
ging position ; notwithstanding all the drawbacks arising from the serious
monetary depression of the last two years, it will be seen that its revenue for 1867
has considerably exceeded the outlay necessary to carry on its work. The
only items on which the Council have permitted any increase of expenditure
over that of former years are those relating to Chiswick Garden, and the
Fellows will observe that the Chiswick Board state in the annexed Report that,
even with this increase, more funds are wanted to bring the Society’s working
at that place into full efficiency. The Council, therefore, in the belief that a
judicious outlay in the manner suggested in the Report alluded to will result
in increased produce, as well as increase of general usefulness, have made some
further additions to the Chiswick labour item for this year.

5. The labours at Chiswick during the past season have met with much
success. M. Bause, the foreman of the Floral Department, has succeeded in

CCV1

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

the production of an entirely new race of golden-leaved Caladiums ; and in the
Pomological Department many interesting trials of varieties of fruits and vege¬
tables have been carried out, including one of a valuable collection of figs.
The Fellows are referred to the Report of the Chiswick Board of Direction for
fuller information on these subjects, and their attention is particularly called
to the request of the Board that any Fellows of the Society who may possess
uncommon and attractive species of hardy herbaceous perennials will aid the
Chiswick collection of plants of this character by contributions of such as they
can spare, or by gifts of seeds.

6. The Council call attention to the annexed Report of the Examinations in
Horticulture for the past year. The success of the Chiswick students is parti¬
cularly gratifying ; and the Council have now, in compliance with the recom¬
mendation of the Horticultural Directors, arranged for providing a few Lectures
and Demonstrations in aid of the practical studies of these young men,

7. The Meetings of the Fruit and Floral Committees have been, as usual,
very well attended during the past season, and the Council have reason to
believe that the valuable labours of the gentlemen composing these Committees
greatly influence the progress of Horticulture throughout the country. The
Afternoon General Meetings, also, which follow the Committee Meetings, have
been most successful, both as respects the appreciation of them by the Fellows
and the subjects which have been jdiscussed. The results of the various
Meetings and Exhibitions of the Society will appear in the forthcoming number
of the Journal, edited by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley.

8. The four days’ Show of June last, held in the Great Tent, was a great
success in a Horticultural point of view. Various opinions for and against the
continuance of a Show beyond the first or second day have been offered ; but as
yet the Council see no reason to regret that they have made the experiment,
and they propose to repeat it this year. The Exhibition of June last wras
indeed continued for a whole week, the greater number of the Exhibitors
having at once (in many cases at considerable inconvenience) acceded to the
Council’s wish to have it kept open on the Whit-Monday. The Council have
also added a second day to the Special Prize Show. The only other alteration
of the last year’s programme is the breaking up of the two Spring Shows into
three, with a slight addition to the total amount offered in prizes. The
charming fortnight’s Show of Spring Flowers will be repeated on an increased
scale. The Society is under great obligations to Mr. W. Paid for the spirit
and energy he displayed in this Exhibition, which has now become so prized a
feature of the Society’s yearly arrangements. Messrs. Lane & Son, Berkhamp-
stead, will also make an Exhibition in the Arcades of their Plants and Flowers
during the month of April; and Messrs. Wat erer & Godfrey’s Exhibition of
Rhododendrons, discontinued last year in consequence of the damage done by
the severe frosts, will, the Council hope, again be counted this year among the
attractions of the Gardens.

9. The Council have, in former Reports, made known to the Fellows that
the Exhibitions of the Society are no longer a source of income as for¬
merly, but now involve a considerable loss. Each season renders a recovery
from this condition of things more unlikely. The expenditure on last
year's Exhibitions was £1,727 18s. 3<f. ; the receipts only £1,402 7s. 6cl. It
is manifest, therefore, that the Society must proceed with caution in again
attempting any increase in their number. Nevertheless, the Council think
very well of the proposition that has been made to them to add to their
Programme some small Shows of special subjects, which would otherwise escape
competition, owing to their time of flowering not coinciding with the London
season ; and they will be quite prepared to give facilities for holding such
minor Shows as may appear to have interest for a sufficient number of culti¬
vators and admirers to give a probability of success. The best test of such
interest would be a proposition on the part of Horticulturists to make
special Shows, as has already been done by the cultivators and admirers of
Zonal Pelargoniums. The Zonal Pelargonium Show of last season will this
year have grown into a very important Exhibition.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ' CCvii

10. The Committee of the International Horticultural Exhibition have gene¬
rously applied the whole of their remaining surplus funds to the acquisition of
a Library, to be held in trust for the use of the Society. The only condition
annexed is one which the Council are very glad to accede to, viz., that the
Library, under proper restrictions, shall be open for consultation to all
Horticulturists and Students who may wfeh to refer to it. The Trustees con¬
sist of three officers of the Committee and three officers of the Council, who
are to appoint a seventh member to be President. The arrangements of the
Board include the purchase from the Society of the Lindley Library. This
Library, and also a collection of works the property of the Society, will
shortly be placed in the Council Boom.

11. In their Report, presented in the year 1866, the Council made allusion
to the contemplated erection of the Eoyal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences, as
likely to add an additional attraction to the gardens of the Society. During
the past year the foundation-stone of the building was laid by Her Host
Gracious Majesty the Queen, and its walls are now fast rising. The Council
are making arrangements with the Provisional Committee of that undertaking,
from which mutual advantages will be derived. These arrangements will
include convenient access to the Hall from the Society’s Conservatory.

12. In conclusion, the Council have pleasure in announcing that the claim
put forward by them for the recognition of the important services to Horti¬
culture of the old and valued officer of the Society, Mr. Thompson, has
resulted in a subscription which at present amounts to 360/. Some account of
his labours, and a list of the subscribers, were given in the Proceedings of the
Society issued last month.

REPORT TO THE COHKCIL PROM THE CHISWICK BOARD

OE DIRECTORS.

Dec. 1867.

1. The Directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the Chiswick Garden
has been thoroughly utilised during the past season, and that the cultural
rescdts, under the efficient superintendence of Mr. Barron, have been fully
equal to those of former years. They would have desired to have effected some¬
thing more than has been found possible in regard to the keeping of certain
portions of the garden, but the labour rate at their disposal has proved insuf¬
ficient- for the purpose, and they therefore recommend a slight increase of
expenditure under this head.

2. The experiment which has been made with reference to the employment
of Students for the performance of a portion of the work of the garden has,
so far, fairly answered the expectations of its promoters ; and the Directors,
but for the outlay involved, would willingly extend it so as to offer its advan¬
tages to a larger number of young men anxious to use the best means of
advancing themselves in their profession. They, however, having past
experience in view, think it would be advantageous to provide for the entry of
somewhat younger men than the present regulations will admit. They also
think that a few Lectures and Demonstrations in aid of the practical studies of
these young men, such as were originally contemplated, would now prove a
valuable aid to them.

3. The Directors trust that the Society may rely on a continuance of the aid
which has been so generously and efficiently afforded to the Chiswick collection
by those gentlemen who have obligingly contributed novelties for the various
trial collections, since they believe that these experimental trials have more
effectually and widely diffused a correct knowledge of the recent acquisitions
for the Elower, Fruit, and Vegetable gardens than could have been brought
about by any other ready means. They are highly gratified to be able to state
that these trial collections, and the standard sorts grown for comparison with
them, are sought for with much interest by numerous visitors at the proper
season.

CCVlll PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

4. As regards the Floral Department, some new houses have been completed,
and others efficiently repaired., so that the Superintendent has now better
accommodation than formerly for growing flowering plants, the chief demand
for which is to aid in the decoration of the conservatory at Kensington
throughout the year. With this latter object in view, various additions have
been made to the collections of stove ‘and greenhouse plants.

5. During the past year, 5,371 plants have been grown for distribution to
the Fellows by ballot, and 125,512 packets of vegetable and flower seeds have
been also made up and distributed; besides 1,714 plants and 12,512 packets
of seeds which have been sent out to the various Societies in union.

6. The provision of materials for the decoration of the garden at South
Kensington has been greatly extended, and has correspondingly increased the
expenditure at this establishment, both as regards labour and glass accommo¬
dation. Xo less than 45,227 plants thus reared have been contributed by
Chiswick for this purpose during the present year.

7. In addition to the plants referred to in the foregoing paragraphs, 927
varieties of plants, old and new, such as pelargoniums, verbenas, tropseolums,
calceolarias, &c. have been grown for judicial examination by the Floral
Committee. The groups of the older kinds, grown as standards for comparison,
were very attractive in their season ; but the newer varieties have been less
successful, owing chiefly to two causes — the late date and weakly condition in
which, in too many cases, the plants are received, and the unpropitious
weather of the past summer. It is hoped that in future the plants may be
obtained earlier in the season, in better condition, and that more extended and
useful results may be obtained.

8. Attention has been given to Hybridising, and the rearing of novelties for
the use of the Fellows; and the Directors are highly gratified to be able to
report that 31. Bause, the foreman of the Floral Department, has won for him¬
self the credit of having produced an entirely new race of golden-leaved cala-
diums. A very large number of hybridised caladiums has been reared, showing
great variety in the colouring and marking of the leaves, and including
amongst them several highly ornamental novelties ; but the production of the
golden-leaved forms (which include some three or four distinct variations) has
been the most marked instance of success. Besides these, some promising
variegated zonal pelargoniums have been obtained; as well as a crop of
hybridised forms of coleus, and of some other plants, which, however, are not
as yet sufficiently developed to show whether any improvement has been
gained.

9. Sympathising heartily with the expressions of regret which are frequently
heard as to the neglect into which hardy herbaceous perennials have been
allowed to fall, to the curtailment of the beauty and interest of English flower
gardens, the Directors have set about the formation of a collection of these
plants, with the view to revive the taste for them, by facilitating the selection
of those best adapted for particular seasons and particular situations. To
this end, they hope to secure examples of all the more ornamental and really
interesting species. As plants of this character are frequently preserved in
country gardens after they disappear from general cultivation, and thus become
difficult of access, the Directors trust that the Council will urge upon any
Fellows of the Society who may possess uncommon and attractive species the
advisability of adding to the Chiswick collection by contributing plants or
seeds of any such which they can spare. The Directors anticipate that much
interest will be excited by this collection, and that it may induce many Fellows
to introduce into these Gardens that- much-maligned institution, 4i the mixed
border,” from which, however, they feel satisfied that a large amount of interest
may be derived by the lovers of flowers.

10. A collection of subtropical plants has been brought together, and during
summer forms a very interesting feature along one of the principal walks in
the garden.

11. In the Pomological Department, the Board have to report that, by the
removal of the house from South Kensington to Chiswick last spring, the

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

CC1X

valuable collection of figs has been properly accommodated, and almost
the whole of the varieties are in full bearing. During the past season
several new and excellent varieties have been discovered, and numerous
synonymes have been detected. A report on the varieties which have fruited
is in preparation.

The collection of strawberries, to which reference was made in last year’s
report, as having recently been acquired and planted, is now in a most satis¬
factory condition. Last summer the greater number of the varieties produced
fruit ; but as it is anticipated that from the vigorous condition of the plants,
and the encouraging prospects for next summer, the whole will then be in
bearing, it will be better to make a report on the whole after comparing them
with each other and ascertaining their relative qualities and merits.

12. During the past year the Board instituted a trial of all the varieties of
grapes that are included under the group of Chasselas. These were grown in
pots in a heated pit, but the experiment was not sufficiently successful to
warrant a report being made on the various varieties forming the collection. It
is, however, intended to repeat the experiment next summer.

13. A trial of all the varieties of garden peas was highly successful, and
tended to the acquisition of much valuable information relating to the different
varieties, and especially to those of recent introduction. The same success
attended the trials of tomatoes and lettuce. On all of these subjects, complete
reports have been prepared.

14. Another of the most important functions of the Chiswick Garden has
been liberally worked in the distribution of grafts of fruit trees, of which no
less than 1,500 parcels have been received by Fellows of the Society during the
past season.

15. The demolition of the old and diseased fruit trees which occupied
some of the belts in the kitchen garden having been attended with beneficial
results to the garden, the Board would suggest to the Council that the
greater portion of the old orchard of unproductive standard trees should be
trenched over ; and the ground appropriated to the reception of the young
trees raised from scions of those which had been destroyed, along wTith
others forming a numerous collection which have been obtained at various
times from the pomologists of the continent of Europe and the United States
of America. These old orchard trees, as they at present exist, are perfectly
worthless, and occupy a large extent of ground, which is thereby rendered un¬
productive. If this were done, not only would there be room for the young
plantation of pyramidal and bush fruit trees, but space available also for the
production of vegetables and the more common fruits for which there is an
increasing demand by the Fellows ; w'hile there is less enquiry for grapes and
the higher class of fruits.

16. The peach wall, which at one time was the pride of the garden, has for
some years been gradually losing its interest; the trees, many of which are
coeval with the wall itself, having fallen into the decrepitude of age, and
occupy space which might be more serviceably employed. The Board would
suggest that these old trees be removed, and their places filled with young
trees of choice varieties, which will serve not only as a source of income by
the sale of the fruit, but as examples of the different methods of training and
the most approved modes of pruning wall-fruit trees. As the trees at present
exist, they afford no instruction in this latter respect, and it is most important
in an establishment like the garden of the Society, in which experimental and
educational purposes form so important a feature, that the training and pruning
of fruit trees should be on the most approved and modern principles.

Extkact from the Beport of the Pomological Examiner.

The examinations of gardeners as candidates for the Society’s certificates,
which were commenced in 1866, have been continued during the past year with
most satisfactory results. One of these took place at Midsummer last, when

ccx

seven candidates presented themselves, sis of them being students at the
Society’s garden at Chiswick, and one from Battersea Park. Of the former,
three took second class in fruit and vegetable culture, one a third, and two
were unsuccessful.

At the examination in December last the number who presented themselves
had risen to fifteen, and this shows the growing popularity of these examina¬
tions. In this case six of the candidates were Chiswick students, four were from
Kew, and the remaining five from various gardens throughout the country.
Of these, two (Chiswick students) took first-class in fruit and vegetable culture,
five took extra seconds, three seconds, three thirds, while the remaining two did
not pass.

The marked improvement that the Chiswick students exhibit at the successive
examinations shows that, as a school for horticulture, Chiswick supplies all the
requirements necessary for that purpose ; and the steady progress that the
young men have made who entered the school when it was instituted is an
evidence of the earnestness of purpose with which they are actuated, as well
as a proof that the instruction communicated is of such a character as to enable
the young men to take a high position in the gardening world.

I have to observe with pleasure that the great National establishment at Kew
has sent up so large a proportion of the candidates at the last examination,
and that the endeavour of the Society to establish a sound horticultural educa¬
tion is so well seconded by the authorities of that establishment. It is very
desirable that not only in all public, but in all private establishments where
young men show indications of ability and a desire to distinguish themselves,
the heads will use their influence to induce the young men to prepare for these
examinations, thereby affording them a stimulus which cannot fail to operate for
their advantage. The establishments from which the other young men have
come up are, the gardens of the Royal Botanic Society, Regent’s Park ; Battersea
Park ; Earl of Abergavenny’s, at Eridge Castle ; Benham Park, Xewbury ; and
Court Yard, Eltham, Kent.

Extract from the Report of the Examiner in Ploriceltere.

In the department of Floriculture the students have shown that they possess
a very satisfactory amount of practical information. Their answers generally
indicate an intelligent, and in seme cases a thorough and intimate, acquaintance
with the subject propounded, especially if it be of a practical nature. Expe¬
rience has shown that questions on practical subjects are more fully and clearly
responded to than those which have a more scientific bearing. Thus, for
example, it is found that a more complete answer will be given as to the mode
of treating any particular plant or family than when the question relates to
such points as an enumeration of the species of that particular family, or the
popular features of difference between them. While it is thus gratifying to be
able to report that these young men are acquiring a good practical knowledge
of this branch of their profession, which will fit them hereafter to occupy
situations where such knowledge would be called into active exercise, it is to
be observed that it would be well for them also in their youth to master as
far as possible the elements of theoretical horticulture.

Mr. Saunders moved that the Report just read be received and adopted ;
and Mr. Liggins having seconded the motion, it was carried unanimously.

The scrutineers then delivered in the ballot papers, and the chairman
informed the meeting that the votes were unanimous in favour of the following
members of council and officers for the ensuing year : — -

The retiring members of the Council were Viscount Sandon, Mr. Wentworth
W. Buller. and the Rev. Joshua Dix. In their room were elected Mr. John

SCHEDULES FOR THE SPRING AND SUMMER

EXHIBITIONS,

TO BE HELD AT THE GARDENS, SOUTH KENSINGTON, W.

EEGULATIONS FOR THE EXHIBITIONS.

I. The Prizes offered in the accompanying Schedules are open to all competi-
ors complying with these Regulations.

II. Exhibitors must give at least five clear days' notice in writing of the Class
or Classes in which they intend to compete, and of the average diameter of the
plants to be exhibited.

This is to be done by filling up and forwarding to the Superintendent at
South Kensington the printed forms provided for the purpose.

III. Cards corresponding with the entries will be furnished on the morning
of the Exhibition at the Superintendent’s office.

Exhibitors will be responsible for the proper placing of these cards, and they
are requested to satisfy themselves that the cards correctly describe the objects
exhibited.

The Society cannot correct , or be responsible for, mistakes arising from the non-
observance of this or any other Regulation .

IV. No specimens will be received after half past 8 o’clock on the morning of
the Exhibition.

The Superintendent has instructions to refuse cdl exhibitions which he considers
unworthy of being shown.

V. Officers of the Society will direct the placing of all specimens.

It is necessary that all Flowers or Plants be carefully labelled with their scien¬
tific names, and, where practicable, with the name of the country whence intro¬
duced. Florists’ Flowers must bear their customary names.

Seedling Flowers exhibited as novelties must be named.

VI. Only bond fide exhibitors, and such assistants as may be absolutely
required for the arrangement of their specimens, will be admitted before the
doors are closed at half past 8 a.h. ; after this hour no person will be allowed
to enter, and all persons must retire before 10 a.h., except such as may be
officially retained by the Society.

VII. A clear passage-way to the stands and tables must be preserved during
the hours of arrangement, and all persons obstructing it will be subject to imme¬

the exhibitors’ arrangements must be completed.

VIII. One prize only can be awarded to an exhibitor in any class, except

CCXXV111 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

in the Miscellaneous Class, and in the case of Certificates granted to Xew
Plants and Seedlings.

The Judges have the right of withholding the prize where specimens may
be considered unworthy of it, in order to prevent an inferior collection obtain¬
ing an award.

The Judges will be at liberty to add to the number of prizes specified, in cases
of very decided merit, so long as they do not exceed the total amount offered in
each class.

IX. All specimens must be the bond fide property of the exhibitor or his
master, or they will not be eligible to compete for the prizes. At least one
month’s previous possession will be considered requisite to constitute owner¬
ship, except in well-ascertained cases of plants newly imported.

X. The decision of the Judges is final. Any prize fraudulently obtained will
be forfeited, and will be awarded to the competitor immediately succeeding in
the same class ; and the exhibitor proved, before a Committee of Exhibitors
named by the Council, to have acted fraudulently, will be excluded from future
Shows.

XI. For the Spring Exhibitions, exhibitors’ pass-tickets will be furnished
as follows : —

For collections of 9 plants and upwards, 2 passes for 1st collection, and
1 for each additional collection.

the Council Room, South Kensington, not later than 10.30 a.m., so as to be
entered and ready for examination by 11 o’clock.

3. The necessary particulars respecting each subject exhibited are to be com¬
municated in writing to the Secretary of the Committee.

Note. — The name and post address of the Exhibitor ; the name of the flower, if a seedling,
and that of the native country if an importation, will be considered necessary particulars.
Exhibitors are invited to communicate in writing such further details of the origin and intro¬
duction or peculiarities of their flowers as they may think interesting for publication. If
these are legibly written on cards sent with the plants, it Avill greatly add to the interest
which will be felt in such exhibition, by the Fellows who attend to inspect the plants at the
conclusion of the Floral meeting.

4. The merits of the subjects exhibited shall not be discussed or decided on
in the presence of the owners, or of persons interested in them.

5. Sufficient examples of every subject exhibited to enable the Committee to
form a fair opinion of its qualities must be produced. In all practicable cases,
the growing plant will be required. Each kind will have to be separately
entered.

Note. — Exhibitors of seedling florists’ flowers, and others, will facilitate the "working of
the Committee by the production of specimens and collections of known varieties to serve as
references, and for comparison with novelties.

To save expenses of carriage, and to facilitate exhibitions by amateur growers, cut speci¬
mens, if sufficiently ample, will be admissible in cases where the habit of the plant is well
known, as, for example, in many newly-imported varieties of cultivated species of Orchids.

6. Ann Seedling Flowers must be named, as a means of future recogni¬
tion ; if not named, they will be passed over.

7. Newly imported, or other new species of plants, not florists’ varieties,
will have to be submitted to the Botanical Director, that they may be correctly
named.

Note. — Exhibitors of this class of plants will greatly facilitate the operations of the Com¬
mittee by forwarding, whenever practicable, previous to the days of meeting, materials for
examination, and it will be regarded as an indispensable condition of their being examined,
that the countries from which they may have been imported shall be correctly stated. These
materials are to be sent to the Society's offices, addressed to ‘ The Botanical Director.’

8. The Committee will exercise the power of examining with the necessary
minuteness all subjects submitted for its opinion.

9. First-Ceass, Second-Class, and Speciae Certificates, and Commenda¬
tions will be awarded, at the discretion of the majority of the members
present, to such of the novelties exhibited as may be thought sufficiently
deserving.

10. Medals will be awarded by the Council for subjects recommended by
the Committee as evincing meritorious cultivation, but which are not exhibited
as novelties.

11. All packages of plants or flowers must be addressed to the Secretary to
the Committee ; they must be delivered Carriage Free, and must be forwarded
at the risk of the sender.

12. No award will be made to yearling seedlings of Cinerarias or Pelargo¬
niums, nor will any judicial opinion be passed upon their merits ; but they
may be staged for inspection.

13. If the subjects, whether plants or cut flowers, are left for the night, it
will be at the risk of the senders, but all ordinary care will be used to protect
them from injury.

14. All plants or flowers sent to the Garden for trial shall be submitted for
the opinion of the Committee ; and no official opinion on the merits of such
plants or flowers shall be given by any paid officer of the Society.

magnificent display of these favourite plants, which have been in profuse flower ;
the ground under the great tent has been entirely re-arranged, the effect being

Library.

Notice is hereby given that, the Committee of the International Horticul¬
tural Exhibition having offered to invest the balance of the profits realised by
that Exhibition (over 1,850/., after presenting 1,000/. to the Gardeners’ Bene¬
volent Institution) in the purchase of books to form a Library in connection
with the Boyal Horticultural Society, and to be called the “ Lindley Library,”
in testimony of the respect in which the late Dr. Lindley’s memory is held, on
the condition that the books so purchased, and any others which might here¬
after be presented, should be vested in seven Trustees, and that the books
should, under rules, be available for the use of the Fellows of the Society and
other horticultural students, — the Council agreed with pleasure to accept the
offer, and appointed W. Wilson Saunders, Esq., a Vice-President of the K.H.S.,
John Clutton, Esq., the Hon. Treasurer of the B.H.S., and Lieut.-Col. H. Y. D.
Scott, B.E., the Hon. Secretary of the B.H.S., as their three Trustees ; and the

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Wentworth Dilke, Bart., M.P., as the seventh, and the Trust-Deed has this
day (May 5, 1868) been signed.

The first purchase made by the Trustees is Dr. Lindley’s Botanical and
Horticultural Library, at a cost of £600, and steps are being taken to make
the Library available. As the Trustees are unanimously of opinion that the
addition of such a Library to the Horticultural Society would be a great boon
to students of Horticulture and Botany, and also materially promote the best
interests of the Boyal Horticultural Society, and as the Trustees wish to make
it as perfect as possible, they think it right to call upon the Bellows of the Boyal
Horticultural Society to aid them with funds and presents of books, to extend
the usefulness of the Library which has thus been commenced.

v The Trustees have the gratification of being able to announce that Her
Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to present to the Lindley
Library a botanical work of the value of twenty-five guineas.

The Trustees are also happy to be able to state that already several Bellows
of the Society and other Gentlemen have promised valuable assistance ;

The first meeting of the above Committee was held on Tuesday the 20th April,
and there were present — Mr. Wilson Saunders in the chair, Messrs. Murray, Gil¬
bert, Scott, Moore, Abel, Masters, Welwitsch, Fortune, Marshall, Yoelcker,
Hogg, Wilson, Thomson, Clarke, De la Rue, and Berkeley ; and the following
address by the Secretary, the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, was read, viz. : —

“ As this is the first meeting of the Scientific Committee of the Horticultural
Society, it seems advisable that the Secretary should offer some observations on
its objects, and the best means of carrying them out effectually. It is above
all things necessary that we should perfectly understand the position in which
we are placed as a Committee, and the more especially as its members are not
necessarily Fellows of the Society.

“ The Society, it must be remembered, is not exactly in the same position as
most other learned Societies, with the exception perhaps of the Zoological So¬
ciety. Though the income is large, it is not simply available, as in other
scientific bodies, for purely scientific objects. The funds applicable to publica¬
tion are necessarily limited, and it is to this cause especially that the discon¬
tinuance of the first series of the Journal, and the occasional appearance of the
new series, are attributable, and not to any lukewarmness or narrowness of
views on the part of the Society. If the history of learned Societies were to be
accurately traced, we should find that the appearance of their Transactions has
for the most part been irregular, and, in consequence, the publication of important
papers has frequently been seriously delayed ; and for this, amongst other reasons,
the ‘ Comptes Rendus ’ of the meetings of the French Institute w*as projected, to
enable authors of valuable memoirs to register their discoveries, or, in other
words, ‘ pour prendre date.’ It must not therefore be assumed that our Journal
can be published oftener than once or twice a year, or, under the most favourable
circumstances, more frequently than once a quarter, but as reports will undoubt¬
edly appear in our leading horticultural papers, no unwillingness on the part
of authors to present memoirs at our meetings need on this score be anticipated.

“ The object of our meetings, as stated in the number of the ‘ Proceedings’
just published, is to promote and encourage the application of Physiology and
Botany to purposes of practical culture, whether of plants or trees or shrubs,
and to originate experiments which may assist in the elucidation of such ques¬
tions. The terms, it is clear, are sufficiently large to include everything which
can come within the scope of a Botanical Committee, and are by no means to
be confined to what may strictly be termed physiology or biology. Morphology
as well as vital action will occasionally come before us, questions of correct
nomenclature, information of general horticultural or more purely botanical
interest, botanical geography, in short, everything which does not fairly come
within the compass of the Floral or Fruit Committees. The several Botanical
Directors will naturally bring before us any matter of interest which may occur
in the fruit or floral departments, or which may suggest itself at Chiswick, such
as have usually been laid before the Society at its Tuesday meetings ; doubtful
plants will be presented to us for determination, subjects which require eluci¬
dation will be mooted, and occasional papers read in accordance with the especial
objects of the Committee. Not only is it hoped that individual members of the
Committee will help us, but the co-operation of the Fellows of the Society in
general, and indeed of men of science, whether members or not, is earnestly
invited.

“ As regards purely physiological matters, it is highly necessary that we
should set out with a distinct tinderstanding. It is easy to suggest experiments*,
but we must at the same time appreciate the difficulties which attend them*.

cclviii PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Any expectation that the Society itself can at once enter upon a large series of
delicate experiments would only meet with disappointment. We ourselves
cannot fail to appreciate at once the difficulties of the subject, but it is necessary
also that the members of the Society, and the horticultural world in general,
should equally realise the true state of the case. The successful conduct of
purely physiological experiments requires an innate love of the necessary re¬
search, unwearied labour in the pursuit, uninterrupted leisure, and a rare com¬
bination of tact and talent, patient of failure, yet confident of ultimate success,
at once free from prejudice, and ardent in the pursuit of the especial object of
research. It must be a labour of love, or it will lead to nothing. The Society
trusts that the establishment of this Committee may inspire some of its mem¬
bers with the requisite zeal ; but it must at once be clearly understood that it
would be impossible for it as a preliminary step to organise a staff purely for
such a purpose. It would be almost hopeless at the present moment to find a
person competent for the leader of such a staff, even at a large salary ; several
assistants would be requisite, perfect instruments and a chemical laboratory,
while the person who might be great in one direction would be almost useless
in another. Such investigations must to a great extent be carried out in the
first instance at least by private individuals, but the Society would not be back¬
ward in giving pecuniary assistance where there was a reasonable prospect of
important results. Minor experiments would indeed immediately come within
the scope of the Society, as the reciprocal influence of stock and graft, the
modifications produced by different stocks, varieties in the mode of culture, the
influence of different kinds of manure, and indeed a host of other matters
meteorological, physiological, and practical, which may tend to the promotion
of scientific Horticulture.

“There is also another direction in which the Committee might be extremely
useful, and which would at once be acceptable to all our members, and to all
lovers of horticulture. It is frequently a complaint that plants in collections are
so badly named, and that the correct appreciation of what may be called their
botanical attributes, in contradistinction to those which are simply floricultural,
is at present so very imperfect. This arises in great measure from the want of
useful manuals, from which the necessary information can be obtained. When
the number of plants under cultivation was comparatively small, the Hortus
Kewensis was available for the more scientific gardeners; but though there are
some praiseworthy exceptions, such as Loudon’s Arboretum, the cultivator is
for the most part compelled to pore over mere catalogues, which can give him
only an empirical knowledge, while as frequently he will fall into error. It is
believed that the publication of a series of manuals, judiciously selected, would
be highly calculated to promote a general love of scientific botany where there
is at present mere floricultural knowledge, and the more so as the desire of
mere display seems on the wane, while an appreciation of elegance of form and
foliage, and delicacy and variety of structure, is daily increasing. Each volume
might be complete in itself, while, if the plan were well carried out, a series of
publications would be produced, highly honourable to the Society and of great
importance to horticulture. The suggestion I would observe originated with a
member of our Committee, who has the power and the will at once to aid in
the realisation of such a scheme ; and when I mention Dr. Hooker as its origi¬
nator, it will assuredly be evident how materially it might be promoted by the
staff at the Herbarium and the superintendents of the different departments in
the Gardens at Kew. Suppose, for instance, we were to undertake a volume on
Conifers, for which Gordon’s manual is now quite insufficient; another on
Herbaceous plants more usually cultivated ; another on rock and Alpine plants ;
or, to descend to especial genera, one illustrating Dendrobium, Epidendrum,
and Oncidium. What a boon would such volumes be to our members ! The
scheme, moreover, with the aid which has been promised, might be carried out
at a comparatively small expense, and with a degree of speed and correctness
which would be quite out of the power of any individual.

“ The Committee will of course be prepared to receive suggestions as to any
other plans or modes of action which may be thought advisable; but it is abso-

lutely necessary that such suggestions should be submitted in writing, that the
terms may be distinctly understood. Their ultimate adoption will of course
rest with the Council.”

1. It was moved and seconded that the meetings should take place at South
Kensington, on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month, from March to
October ; on the third Tuesday in the four winter months, and on the trial
days at Chiswick.

2. That a chemical sub-committee should be appointed, consisting of the
following members, with power to add to the number: —

F. A. Abel, F.R.S. Dr. J. H. Gilbert, F.R.S.

Warren De la Rue, F.R.S. Dr. Voelcker

Prof. E. Frankland G. F. Wilson, F.R.S.

and that Dr. Voelcker should be Secretary.

3. That the names of some of our leading zoologists should be added to the
Committee, and that an invitation to this intent should be sent to

H. T. Stainton Prof. Westwood

Sir J. Lubbock, Part. Dr. Bastian.

4. That a paper should be sent to each member of the Committee to be filled
up with suggestions as to subjects for discussion or investigation, and that one
or more should be selected at each meeting for consideration at the subsequent
Committee.

5. That the subjects for consideration on May 5 should be: 1. Spot in
Orchids; 2. Nomenclature of Hybrids.
