10 WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. [1904. 



We are indebted to the press for liberal notices of our meet- 

 ings and exhibitions. Sometimes the reports after the meetings 

 are not always satisfactory to some of the members. If reporters 

 were good horticulturists this would not happen. Perhaps 

 it would be well to class them with the children and try to 

 interest them in such matters. I am sure this field would 

 produce much good in the future. 



In conclusion I desire to thank the officers and members 

 for their uniform courtesy and willingness to assist in any way 

 they may have been requested so to do.
