 The following report was read. The Committee 

 on the Library ask leave to report, that a Catalogue 

 of the Books, belonging to the society, has been

It appears, on a thorough examination, that sev- 

 eral books have not been returned, in conformity to„ 

 a resolution, wliich was passed several months since, 

 and published in the New England Farmer ; and 

 many of the numbers of Loudon's Gardener's Mag- 

 azine, the Pomological Magazine, the Transactions 

 of the London Horticultural Society, tlio Annales 

 de la Societe d'llorticulture de Paris, the Annales 

 de L'Institut Horticolc de Fremont, and of the 

 Floral Magazine are still in the possession of 

 some of the members, who should be requested, 

 by public notice in the N. E. Farmer, to send 

 them to the Librarian, as it is necessary that the 

 numbers of the periodical publications should be 

 collected, and bound into volumes, before they are 

 again allowed to be taken from the Library. 



The works on Fruits and Flowers, which are 

 embellished with engravings, the Librarian has been 

 directed to retain, as they are required by the 

 Committees on Fruits and Flowers, to enable the.m 

 to identify the names and characters of such sam- 

 ples, as may be presented for e>diibition, or pre- 

 mium, during the season the Hall is opened for 

 those purposes. 



Respectfully submitted by the direction of the

 thi same time I received its Diploma.
