REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 



To THE Members of the 



Worcester County Horticultural Society : 



The Librarian, iu submitting his annual report, has nothing of 

 special interest to mention. The Library has been consulted at 

 the room quite as much as usual, and books taken to the homes 

 of members to the number of about 300, all of which have been 

 returned excepting a few that can be brought in at call. 



The condition of the Library is satisfactory with the exception 

 of a want of shelf-room, and a considerable outlay for binding. 

 It is hoped that both of these matters will be attended to the 

 coming year. 



The following list comprises books, pamphlets and papers 

 added to the Library during the past year, by purchase or gift : 



Report of Department of Agriculture ; 1877, '78, '79 ; 1880,
