PLANT PROTECTION.

rro TEE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sus.,—We have already received the kind support and co-operation of the Press when putting forward a plea for plant protection. The first part of our scheme was to enlist the sympathy of the educational authorities throughout the country, and we have met with the heartiest response to our suggestion that they should distribute our special leaflets to school masters and mistresses, and put up a card of advice to children in their schools. As a matter of fact many thousand copies have been asked for, and as the Council of the Selborne Society has authorized the Plant Protection Section to apply any funds which it may receive to the furtherance of its own work, we now make a definite appeal to all those who would fain see something done to preserve the British flora to send in subscriptions and helpful information to the Secretary of the Selborne • Society at 42 Bloomsbury Square, London, W.C.—We are, Sir, &c., AvxBnxr,

President of the Selborne Society. A. B. RENDLE,

Chairman of the Plant Protection Society.
