The Library. 



Work on the proposed new catalogue of the library has been in 

 progress throughout the year with a good prospect of its completion 

 by the end of 1912, after which date it is intended to begin its 

 publication. 



There has been the usual steady flow of accessions which it is 

 hoped may be largely increased during the ensuing year in order 

 that the catalogue may be made as complete as possible. 



Attention is again called to the advantages offered by the 

 Society's great collection of horticultural literature. All persons 

 interested in horticulture, whether members of the Society or not, 

 are cordially invited to visit the library and the Librarian and his 

 assistants are always ready to extend every facility possible to 

 those in search of horticultural information. 



In addition to the usual week day hours from 9 A. M. to 5 p. m. 

 the library is open also on exhibition Sundays from 2 to 6 p. m. 



In closing the record of another year the Librarian feels moved to 

 express his appreciation of the interest shown by the Board of 

 Trustees in this department of the Society's activities, through the 

 liberal appropriations made, and especially of the personal interest 

 and helpfulness of the Chairman and members of the Library 

 Committee. 



William P. Rich, 



Secretary and Librarian.
