. The Canadian horticulturist. Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario; Fruit-culture. THE ROYALj HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 459 was granted to the society whose object is therein briefly described to be " the improve- ment of horticulture in all its branches, or- namental as well as useful." * * * In 1811, on the death of the Earl of Dart- mouth, the first president, Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq., the founder of the society, was elected president, a post he occupied for twenty-seven years, to the signal ad- vantage of the society and of horticulture generally. In 1818 and the following years an ex- perimental garden was established at Ken- sington, with a nursery at Ealing; and per- manent offices were acquired by the pur- chase of No. 1 Regent street, at a cost of £4, 200. About this time, the annual sub- scription, which had originally been £2 2s., was raised to £3 3s., a rise which seemed rather to encourage than to cheque elections, 845 new fellows having joined the society in 1891-21. In 1822 the gardens of the so- ciety were moved from Kensington and Ealing to Chiswick, where a thirty years' lease of 33 acres had been obtained from the Duke of Devonshire, the lease being re- newed in 1852 for a like period. The gar- dens of the society have continued at Chis- wick ever since, but their area has been re- duced from 33 acres to 12. A valuable feature of the society's work —one which has had a great and enduring influence on British horticulture—may well be referred to here. As early as 1818 it was recognized that, funds permitting, a horticultural society could not do be.ter than take steps to obtain from countries be- yond the borders of Europe valuable and interesting trees, shrubs, plants and seeds. The earliest arrivals came from China and from India. In this way many valuable ornamental plants were introduced into Great Britain, such as azaleas, peonies, roses, camellias, chrysanthemums, etc. One of Mr. John Reeve's introductions from China was the
