HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
APPEAL TO AMATEUR GARDENERS,
MORE MEMBERS-OR EXTINCTION,
An invitation to amateur garden- ers, particularly those at Homuntin and Kowloon Tong to take part in The anifual flower show, conducted by the Hong Kong Horticulturni Society was given by the Chairman of the Society, Mr. Ho Leung, when its annual meeting was held yester day in the Board Room of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. -
Besides the Chairman, there were present: Mr. J. A. H. Plummer, Mr. H. Green, Lieut.-Col. T. A.'Robert. son, Mr. Andrew Tse, Mrs. F. C. Hall and Mrs. R. M. Dyer.
THE CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH.
„Addressing the meeting the Chair- man said:
Ladies and Gentlemen,-A detail- ed review of the financial position of the Society and of its activities during the past year appears to me to be unnecessary. You will have perused the leaflet issued by the Committee which contains their re- port and the statement of accounts. The latter are presented in such detail by the Society's hon. trea surer (Mr. J. A. H. Plummer), that no effort is needed to trace every cent that has been expended by the | Society during the period June, 1928, to May, 1999. There is one item of $21.70 outstanding since 1928, which certain members of the Com- mittee have generously settled.
Dwindling Membership.
The dwindling membership is cause for sincere regret. A drop of 40 in a roll of 200 is sufficiently serious to compel an urgent and an carnest appeal from the outgoing Committee to residents of Hong Kong and Kowloon to come to the aid of the Society by joining the Society. Without the enthusiastic support of ladies and gentlemen, despite every effort of the Com- mittee, it will be impossible to keep the Sagicty going. I hate to be pessimistic. but my colleagues agree with me that a warning note should now he sounded. Without a
tger membership, the Hong Kong Horticultural Society, is foredoomed to extinction. It will be a serious reflection on this community ns being totally indifferent to the aesthetic amenities of nature if they permit the unselfish labours and dis- interested efforts of enthusiastic workers of the past to become sterile in the inglorious passing of the Horticultural Society, which has been responsible, for many years, for the annual public display, of the best and loveliest products from the private gardens of the Colony..
A Real Loss,
When I speak of the valuable assistance of those Indies and gen- tlemen who had rendered possible the annual show, the name that comes uppermost in my mind is that of Mr. Lawrence Gibb, who had neted in the capacity of president, hon. secretary, and hon, treasurer, successfully, for many years. You will agree with me that Mr. Gibba' departure from the Colony is a real loss to the "Society.
An old resident of the Colong informed me that, as long ago as in the early 80's of the last century, exhibits for the annual Flower Show were received in Hong Kong from amateur gardeners at Yaumati and Kowloon. I am told that the joint owners of Delmer "-wlio, ala, are no longer amongst us-at Yaumati and from the private gar dens at Trimshatsui, on the main- land, as well as from those of West Point, where King's College 'now stands, and from Pokfulam on the Island, a large collection of exhibits for the Flower Show came from our Portuguese and Chinese fellow citizens. These examples of the past ought surely to be emulated.
