LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 



A. W, LATHAM, LIBRARIAN. 



There have been added to the library the past year sixty-seven 

 volumes by contribution, and something' over one hundred have 

 been ordered, to pay for which the board has made an appropria- 

 tion of $300. The list will be published in full in an early number of 

 the "Horticulturist." For the acco umodation of these new books, 

 a section of Wernicke's library shelves has been procured, with 

 glazed fronts to protect them. It is hoped that the members will, 

 as convenient, call at the library and see these new acquisitions, 

 which are largely standard horticultural works, and we expect will 

 be made of great value, especially for the purpose of reference. 

 J^erhaps some system should be devised whereby those members 

 who cannot come to the office could have the use of these books. 



The assistant librarian, Mr. E. A. Cuzner, reports his inability to 

 make a list of what he has on hand until the holidays. It will be 

 practically the same as last year or the year before, with the addi- 

 tion of about 500 volumes of the reports of 1897, half of which are in 

 cloth, the balance in paper.
