HORTICULTURE AND ACCLIMATISATION.
To the Editor of the Hbbaid. Sib,—A letter appeared in your contemporary about a fortnight ago, signed " Horticulturist." Th» professed object of the wrifer appeared to Iβ t;> resuscitate the late Horticultural Society, but whose real object undoubtedly was to put money into the purse of the Acclimatisation Society. Last week another Mter appeared, signed, " Hortus Hiceus." This writer, no doubt a member of ths Ac-limatisa-tion Society, seems surprised that the £9 18s 7d remaining ir. the hands of the treasurer of the Horticultural Society has not been handed over to the treasurer of the Acclimatisation Society, nnd cunningly remarks that Mr. T. Afacfarlane was chairman ; thinking, no doubt, that that centleman would immediately place the £9 IBj 74 to t-he credit of the Acclimatisation Society. But Sir. T. Macfarlane has no moro power to do eo than the writer of these lines, without a general meeting cf the Societj, and such a meeting should have been called long since.—Yours, &c, A Meubxk ot the A. H. S.
