The chapters have not sent in recent reports of their work, but they 

 are operating on the lines best adapted to their individual localities. 

 Some method of providing funds for the chapters' use is under con- 

 sideration. 



ENROLLMENT. 

 The Society is now constituted as follows : Patrons, 3 ; fellows, 8 ; 

 members, 354. One year ago we had 167 members. 



FINANCES. 



The report of the Treasurer is subjoined. The Secretary acts merely 

 as the agent of the latter, and turns over all membership dues, for which 

 he holds the Treasurer's receipts as vouchers. As all expenditures are 

 made by the Treasurer, her report shows the financial condition of the 

 Society with reasonable completeness.

In submitting this report to the members, the Board earnestly desires 

 the advice and assistance of every one who has given thought to this im- 

 portant subject of plant protection, and who feels that our method of 

 work can be improved in any particular. It furthermore makes an 

 appeal for more strentious endeavor and active canvassing among the 

 thousands to whom the movement is yet unknown. With greater re- 

 sources come greater opportunities, and in direct ratio follow greater 

 results.
