After thirty-one years of continuous serv- 

 ice William P. Rich has resigned as secre- 

 tary of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Societ}-. Edward I. Farrington has been 

 chosen to succeed him. 



Mr. Rich, who is now seventy years old, 

 has seen many changes in the Society dur- 

 ing his long tenure of office. In that time 

 the library, which is housed on the top floor 

 of Horticultural Hall, has become the tinest 

 and most complete horticultural library in 

 America. Indeed, it is often called the best 

 library of the kind in the world. It contains 

 25,000 books and is particularly rich in rare 

 volumes of the sixteenth and seventeenth 

 centuries. Mr. Rich will continue with the 

 Society as an assistant in the library. 



Mr. Farrington, the new secretary, is well 

 know-n as a lecturer and magazine w'riter on 

 horticultural subjects. For some years he 

 has conducted the Boston Sunday Globe's 

 garden column. Mr. Farrington was for- 

 merly associated with Suburban Life and 

 for the past four years has managed Hor- 

 ticulture. 



The Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 has also taken another very important step 

 in acquiring Horticulture which will be 

 continued as its official organ. This paper 

 was established by the late William J. 

 Stewart in 1904. By having an organ of 

 this kind the Society will be able to greatly 

 widen the scope and extent of its work.
