Excerpt from Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for the Year 1914, Vol. 1The work of the Society in promoting interest in, and spreading knowledge of horticulture, has been carried forward energetically during the past year. There never was a time when the popular interest in gardening was so evident. The attendance at our lectures last year averaged the largest on record.Your Trustees believe that the Society should do still more In the way of teaching practical gardening, and to this end have arranged for practical demonstrations of garden work in our lecture room. They have also planned to supplement our time-honored Saturday lectures by a series of visits to places of horticultural interest in this vicinity. These excursions may be participated in by members of the Society and other interested persons, and they will be under the guidance of a competent horticulturist.Our Society has an unusual opportunity now to give direction and guidance to the present earnest, but too often uncertain and erring efforts of our people to utilize and beautify their gardens and grounds. The teachers in our public schools, the children's gardens in the tenement districts, and suburban garden clubs are all doing good work. I wish that our financial condition would permit us to establish classes for the training of teachers for such work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
