THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORIv 



hers will avail themselves of the opportunity thus begun, to unite 

 their efforts in making additions to the library. Books of ref- 

 erence and of historical interest in floriculture, etc., are particularly 

 desired at this time. 



A BUREAU OF INFORMATION has been established with 

 the object of putting at the service of the membership at large 

 the special knowledge of the expert horticulturists in the organiza- 

 tion. This service will be handled through the Society's office 

 liy mail and it is hoped that it will become a valuable feature of 

 the Society's work, in rendering practical aid to those members 

 who desire special information in any particular detail of the ac- 

 tivities of the garden or greenhouse. 



THE growing activities of the Society and our steadily increas- 

 ing membership having called for better facilities in the offices 

 at 598 Madison Ave., New York City, arrangements have been 

 made for increased space where the interests of the membership 

 may be better served.
