10 WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, [1906 



Growers' Association have tendered votes of thanks for the use 

 of our rooms for their meetings. Their meetings are free, and 

 as they are kindred societies, discussing subjects strongly 

 allied to horticulture, should be interesting to us all. 



The daily press has been very liberal with advance notices, 

 as well as reports of meetings and exhibitions, and are entitled 

 to our respects and thanks. 



To the officers and members I desire to express my thanks 

 for their support and willingness to assist at any and all times.
