WORCESTER COUNTY 



HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



FOR THE Year Ending December 1, 1914, and the 

 Annual Meeting of 1915 



PRESIDENT'S REPORT 



It is my privilege as president to present in a few words 

 my annual report for the past year. 



We record in our membership the past year the death 

 of ten gentlemen, all past middle age. Hon. Henry A. 

 Marsh and Charles A. Denny had been members for sixty 

 years; the average length of time for membership among 

 the ten persons being thirty-seven years. These gentlemen 

 were much interested in the welfare of the society and have 

 contributed in various ways toward its support. 



We welcome twelve new members with our best wishes 

 and hope that the society may prosper by their contribu- 

 tions to our work. 



The winter meetings were of a high order, made possible 

 by a liberal appropriation. Illustrated lectures attract 

 larger audiences and the committee endeavored to have 

 as many of that kind as possible. 



The Medal Committee have not been called upon to 

 award any medals this year. This will make it possible for 

 more another year. In making out the schedule for next 

 year I would suggest that for some of the display exhibits 

 medals be awarded instead of money premiums — one for 

 flowers, one for fruit and one for vegetables.
