LAPEER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



REPORT BY H. W. DAVIS, SECRETARY. 



The Lapeer County Horticultural Society was organized February 10, 1883, 

 with fifty promised charter members. Some of these have moved away, and 

 others failed to come in as agreed, but enough new ones have been obtained to 

 bring our membership up to 50. 



Our officers are : 



President— F. McElroy. 



Vice President — Henry Lee. 



Secretary — H. W. JJavis. 



Treasurer — John Abbott. 



We have had two meetings since organization; one in April, the other in 

 November. Our topics were "Best varieties of apples for Lapeer county,'* 

 and *' Black Knot," respectively. Otherwise than this we have ingloriously 

 done nothing. 



We are now preparing to get on the working harness, and hope the present 

 season will find us meeting once each month, with profit to us all.
