W. C. Flagg, Secretary, read the following report : 



A. M. Brows, President of the Illinois State Horticultural Society: I submit herewith 

 a statement of my doings and expenses, as Secretary, for the year 18G8. 



'I'll' 1 first work of the year was the printing of our report for 1807. Being more than 

 double the size of any report before issued, (289 pages,) it was not ready until the end 

 of March, and cost for 1000 copies, (750 in paper and 250 bound in muslin,) $1134.57. 



The Society also assumed the expense of printing the first annual report, of the 

 State Entomologist, which waa done at a cost of $407.44 additional. This latter sum 

 should be repaid us by the State. 



The reports as soon as ready, were sent by express, partially prepaid to members, and 



r cover copies mailed to newspapers and correspondents. The surplus copies have 



been mostly sent to persons residing in the State, who sent money to prepay postage. 



This action I considered justified by the fact that we were aided by the State, and 



ought to Bome extent do a missionary work among those who would hear as. 



I hadlOOcopiiv- of the tables of fruits, &c, printed separately, and distributed them 

 and a circular, asking for the correction and revision of the lists, for insertion in our re- 

 port forls>N. 



On the 4th of September, I received 200 copies of the Illinois State Agricultural 

 Society Trans., Vol. VI. I sent to each member by express a copy of Vols. IV and VI.,
