ADDRESS OF WELCOME. 



DR. PHEI.PS, MAYOR 01? VERGI^NNElS. 



Mr. President^ Members of the Vermont Horticultural Society, 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 



I notice by this program handed me that you expect an ad- 

 dress of welcome this afternoon from me. I am very sorry to 

 disappoint you, for two years ago when the people of Vergennes 

 elected their Mayor they were unfortunate in not securing a 

 public speaker. However, we are very much pleased to have the 

 annual meeting of the Vermont Horticultural Society held in 

 Vergennes, situated as we are in the Champlain Valley, one of the 

 most fertile and productive sections in the St^te of Vermont. 

 While we have not very much of interest to show you at this 

 time of the year, if you will visit us in the summer we will show 

 you some of the most beautiful farms, some of the largest and 

 most productive orchards, and the ladies can show you beautiful 

 flower beds and some of the finest gardens in Vermont. 



We are very glad to welcome you to Vergennes and hope you 

 will go away carrying with you not only many points of interest
