THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



All orchards planted will be suitably marked with the donor's 

 name, and, as far as possible, the orchards belonging to one vil- 

 lage will all be planted with trees paid for by the donation of a 

 garden club or society and marked with the club's or society's 

 name. The donations of members of the Horticultural Society of 

 New York, if possible, will all be put in one commune or county. 



Mrs. Forest has kindly offered to send frequent reports on the 

 conditions and progress of the work for our Journ.\l. 



On behalf of the Horticultural Society, and in fulfillment of 

 its part in the agreement, the treasurer has sent a draft, for the 

 amount of the fund at present, of $3,612.48 to Morgan Harjes & 

 Company, Paris, to be placed to the credit of the Paris depot of 

 the American Fund for French Wounded. The committee has 

 further agreed to send future donations to the Fund in the same 

 manner. 



The committee are greatly indebted to both ^Irs. Lathrop and
