The Secretary's Portfolio. 



The past year a large number of valuable papers and articles have 

 been written by prominent hoiticulturists and others/^bearing more

 our Maine readers may not see them in other form, we^have gathered 

 the items for the following pages from various^sources. We trust 

 they may afford the readers as much pleasure as^their preparation 

 has given the Secretary*
