Testimonial to Adin A. Hixon, the Retiring Secretary. 



The retiring Secretary of the Worcester County Horticultural 

 Society, Adin A. Hixon, in his many years of service has 

 earned the approbation of every member of the Society in so 

 many ways that it is not easy to take note of them all. 



As a painstaking official he not only did the work required 

 of his office, but was always on the alert to promote the interests 

 of the Society in every way possible. 



Well informed, both theoretically and experimentally, in 

 every phase of Horticulture, he patiently gave attention and 

 advice to every honest inquirer. 



Willing to go anywhere or do anything to encourage the 

 work of horticulture, he gave of his time and strength outside 

 as well as inside his home city, so that through him and his 

 work our Society is well and favorably known throughout 

 New England, and even beyond her borders by his nation-

For these and other reasons the Worcester County Horti- 

 cultural Society puts upon record its sincere appreciation of 

 faithful twenty years service of the retiring Secretary.
