Most of us, though deeply interested in horticulture, are but amateurs in the work. 

 With our brief experience here you will take our opinions for what they are worth. We 

 can exhibit a large list, but it is constantly changing, and, in view of the adaptation of 

 our soil to horticultural products, we expect to give a good account of our labors in 

 future. 



The articles in the list not recommended by the Society, and not especially recom- 

 mended by us, we have passed as unknown or not adapted to our soil or climate. 



LYMAN PIKE, Corresponding Secretary.
