REPORTS OF AUXILIARY SOCIETIES. 



INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 



The publication of Mr. Lyon's ''History of Michigan Horticultare" in 



this volume, renders it necessary to abbreviate many other matters, and in 



soliciting reports from branch societies, I said that but one page could be given 



this year to each organization. The reports are consequently quite brief, and 



because this compilation is made a month earlier than usual, number of 



Bocieties have not reported in season to be here inserted. 



Secretary.
