REPORTS OF AUXILIARY SOCIETIES. 



There are 28 societies auxiliary to the State Horticultural Society. All of 

 them are entitled to a place in this volume, but all have not availed them- 

 selves of the privilege. 



It is very desirable that every branch should at least give an abstract of its 

 work for publication. It is only by this means that the parent society can get 

 at the needs of the various localities, in which it has a special reason for inter- 

 ested work. I trust that at least another year we may have a short report 

 from every one. The names of all members of branch societies, together 

 with its membership in the State society, are all given near the close of this 

 volume. Secretary.
