ticultural work. To the present students this should serve as 
an inspiration, and prove to them that the time they are 
spending at the Garden is time well spent. 
As president of the Association I am happy to have the op- 
portunity to send greetings to all members. — I beg of them a 
continuance of their loyalty and willingness to codperate with 
the officers, so that a permanent institution may be built up, 
which will in the future receive national recognition. 
In conclusion I wish to thank my fellow officers, especially 
Secretary Gross, for his splendid work and cobperation. I 
also wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Moore and the Board 
of Trustees for placing this number of the BULLETIN at our 
disposal.
