STATE HOKTICULTCJRAL SOCIETY. e 



Although the year has not been as favorable for horticultural work 

 and success as we could wish, yet upon the whole we have cause for 

 encouragement rather than despondency, as there is an evident general 

 advancement in modes of culture and improvement in varieties of fruits 

 and trees. 



The great need of our Society at present seems to be the enlistment 

 of intelligent, energetic young men to swell our ranks and be prepared to 

 take the places of those who are older and whose work will soon be com- 

 pleted. If we constitute ourselves recruiting officers for this purpose it 

 will soon be accomplished.
