REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF WINTER 

 MEETINGS 



Worcester, Mass., Nov. 6, 1912. 



Mr. President, and Members of the Worcester County 

 Horticultural Society. 



Your committee would report that ten meetings were held 

 in the past winter season of 1912 with subjects of much interest 

 to our members and many of the public not members. 



The thanks of the committee are due to Mrs. Percy G. 

 Forbes, Mrs. Scott Pierce and Miss Ida Henderson for the 

 good work they did in charge of Children's Day. 



The decision of the Massachusetts Fruit growers convention 

 to go to Boston the coming season will cause the programme 

 for the next winter season to be somewhat changed. 



Our annual dinner and social was well attended with unabated 

 interest. The after-dinner speaking was, as usual, of a high 

 order. 



The committee also extend its thanks to floor director 

 Myron F. Converse and his assistants for the able manner they 

 conducted the social in the hall after the dinner. 



Total attendance at the meetings 1,325, a gain of 400 over last 

 year. 



Respectfully submitted for the Committee, 



ARTHUR J. MARBLE, 



Chairman.
