NINTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 

 COUNCIL 



Presented May 12, 1909 



The ninth year of the society's work sees The Horticultural Society of 

 New York launched on a new basis which augurs well for its future 

 prosperity. 



The most important event that has occurred during the history of the 

 society is probably its affiliation with the New York Academy of Sciences 

 which became effective on the fourth of February last. The cooperation 

 of the membership of this society and those of all the other affiliated 

 societies in New York makes a very large working body and keeps the 

 movements of the society before a very large public. In connection with 

 that affiliation it becomes incumbent upon the society to name a delegate 

 who will have a seat on the Council of the Academy of Sciences ; thus 

 The Horticultural Society of New York will be actively represented in 

 every scientific movement in the city. 



Last November the Council organized a highly successful exhibition of 

 plants and flowers which was held in the American Museum of Natural 

 History and was visited by nearly 8,500 people in the three days and one 

 evening that it was open. Arrangements are progressing for the holding
