50 WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. [1876. 



REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 



To the Members of the Worcester County Horticultural Society: 



The condition of the Library is such that a lengthy report is not 

 needed. The Librarian is sorry to say that the books and publications 

 furnished by the Society have not been as extensively used by the 

 members as they were last year, and he believes it to be the result of the 

 discontinuance of our weekly meetings. It is believed that our efficient 

 Library Committee intend to i)lace such books on our shelves as are of 

 real value, and to furnish such publications as have the best reputation. 

 Additions to the Library during the past official year both by purchase 

 and donation, are as follows:
