BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 



In addition to the usual features of such volumes, the transac- 

 tions will contain a business directory for those engaged in horti- 

 cultural pui'suits, either as producers of fruit and vegetables for 

 market, as growers of trees and plants for sale, as manufacturers of 

 fruit and vegetable boxes and packages; as commission men and 

 dealers, as seedsmen and florists, or as manufacturers of agricultu- 

 ral implements and machinery. 



This directory will be plainly printed in uniform type, with two 

 lines of space given each patron. The Directory fee is $5.00 or $3.00 

 to those already members of the society. No name will be admit- 

 ted unless accompanied by satisfactory reference. Each patron of 

 the Directory will be furnished a copy of the transactions, free by 

 mail. It is the desire of the Society to furnish in this way a reli- 

 able medium of advertising between parties mutually interested.
