STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 283 



GRUNDY COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The Grundy CountyfHorticultural Society was organized as a separate society, January 

 14, L866. Previously Lt waa under the care of the Agricultural Society, which was styled 

 the "Grundy County Agricultural aud Eorticnltural Bociety." 



I'm- a time a deep interest seemed to be taken in the Horticultural Society, but our 

 president, George Fisher, moved to Cobden, Illiuois, and since then but little has been 

 done ; it seems difficult, in a small place, to keep up an interest in a horticultural society 

 as B Beparate society. Our Agricultural Society necessarily absorbs much that would 

 come peculiarly under the province of a Horticultural Society. 



E. SANFORD, Secretary.
