Thomas Hay , M.V.O.
Thomas Hay-whose son, R. Hay , gave a talk on annuals in this series on August 6-is a member of the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society, Superintendent of the Central Royal Parks and Gardens, and Adviser to the Office of Works on the gardens of ancient monuments.
Mr. Hay's great hobby is new plants, and the numerous awards he has won for them must make his rivals turn as green as their foliage. This evening, however, he is to talk about the garden as a whole, that is to say, the finished effect, taking his examples not only from parks but from some private gardens he has seen.
