The objects of this association shall be, to stimulate the knowledge and love of garden- 
ing among amateurs, to share the advantages of association, through conference and corre- 
spondence in this country and abroad, to aid in the protection of native plants and birds, and 
to encourage civic planting.

—David Aitvood Wesson (1823-1887).
