ACTIVITIES OF THE SOCIETY 



MR. NEWBOLD BECOMES SECRETARY 



^^T^ HE members of the Horticultural Society of New York will 

 A learn with much pleasure that Mr. Frederic R. Newbold 

 who so diligently served the Society from its inception as treasurer 

 now becomes also secretary. 



In thus combining the two offices with the one person the direc- 

 tors have but acknowledged the fact that for a long time past the 

 chief burden of operating the Society's afifairs has fallen on the 

 shoulders of its devoted friend and charter member, Mr. Frederic 

 R. Newbold, to whom the present status of the standing of the So- 

 ciety and the operation of the International Flower Shows has been 

 very largely due. The members are to be congratulated on the 

 fact of Mr. Newbold's acceptance of the office and it is further 

 hoped that every member will rally to the support of their newly 

 elected secretary. 



CONTENTS OF THE JOURNAL 



IN THE hope of further developments and improvements of 

 the Society's Journal the present issue which concludes Vol- 

 ume HI carries with it a complete list of contents to all the 

 numbers that have been published up to and including the present. 

 Again the directors ask the active support of the membership in 

 furthering the interest of the Journal. Members are invited to
