4 were life members, resignation, ii ; dropped on account of non- 

 payment of dues, 4; total, 26. This leaves a net gain for the year 

 of 153 : 4 patrons, 2)^ life members, and 113 annual members. 



One annual member, Mrs. J. B. Trevor, became a patron by the 

 payment of the fee of $250.00. 



An invitation was extended to the American Sweet Pea Society 

 to hold its summer exhibition with us this year. This invitation 

 was accepted, and the exhibition will be held at the American 

 Museum of Natural History on the last Saturday and Sunday in 

 June, the 27th and 28th. 



One of the important occurrences of the year was the establish- 

 ment of the first special fund of the society. This was established 

 by Mrs. Wm. Barr, of West Orange, N. J., in memory of her 

 husband, who was a great lover of flowers, giving freely of his 

 influence and ability to promote the welfare of horticulture. It 

 is known as the William Barr Fund. The interest is to be used in 

 defraying prizes for flowers. 



A list of the membership, and also a report of the treasurer are 

 appended to this report.
