Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 

 1921. 



Beginning with the year 1920 a change is made in the pubhca- 

 tions of the Society. Since 1874 the "Transactions" have been 

 issued in two parts every year, with the exception of the years 1895, 

 1896, and 1897, when a third part was added containing a hst of 

 accessions to the hbrary. Part 1 contained reports of lectures 

 dehvered before the Society and Part 2, the annual reports of the 

 various officers and committees. 



The necessity of a more prompt issue of the horticultural papers 

 is recognized and the publication of the "Bulletin" renders it 

 unnecessary to continue the former methods. It is now proposed 

 to use the "Bulletin" for the horticultural papers and to publish 

 an annual report containing the reports of officers and committees.
