To the Finance Committee of tlie Mass. Hort. Society : 



Gentlemen, — Herevvitli please find account for the year 187C, showing a 

 balance to the debit of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society of 

 .$2,.5y0.31. 



To account for this unusual result you have only to refer to the sales 

 for the past year, which have been very much less than previous years ; 

 and on the opposite side of the account you will observe we have ex- 

 pended on the new receiving tomb $9,539.93, and in grading the " Stone 

 Farm" and preparing land for sale, $8,643.65, besides the amount paid the 

 Town of Watertowu for the right of using lands for burial purposes. 



These expenditures have had the unanimous approval of the Board of 

 Trustees, as matters of necessity and conducive to the best interest of all 

 concerned. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 



H. B. Mackintosh, Treasurer.
