Gentlemen: With your acceptance of this rej)ort I close my 

 books as the treasurer of this Society. My age admonishes me 

 that I should lay aside the active duties of life. You have long 

 honored me with many important trusts. How well those trusts 

 have been performed it is not for me to say. If I have done my 

 duty, it was only my duty, that which you had a right to ex- 

 pect. There are younger men and more active horticulturists 

 among you. I say, give the boys a chance. 



With many thanks for your kind regards, I still hope to meet 

 with you for many years to come. 



Eespectfully submitted, 



J. T. Grimes, 



Treasurer. 



The reports of the secretary and treasurer were, on motion, 

 accepted, and referred to the finance committee.
