willing- and ready to try the experiment. We may well wish 

 it success, reserving our own energies, as an organization, for 

 efforts whose result cannot be doubted. Manuring now, culti- 

 vating in Spring, thinning in early Summer, we can prepare 

 ourselves to reinforce the Massachusetts Society at Chicago by 

 seasonable and adequate reserves. If our co-operation is not 

 wanted, on such reasonable terms, we shall at least have the 

 satisfaction of knowing that no blame can attach to the Worces- 

 ter County Horticultural Society, should the high standard 

 heretofore upheld by the Commonwealth be materially lowered 

 in the impending rush and ruck of nations. 

 All which is respectfully submitted
