Transactions of the Worcester County Horticultural Society for the Year, 1882 by Worcester County Horticultural Society Pdf
Excerpt from Transactions of the Worcester County Horticultural Society for the Year, 1882: Comprising the Annual Reports of the Secretary, and of the Librarian The Floral Display, at the New England Agricultural Fair, while the drought was at its worst, was unexpectedly good. Our own members contributed to a visible and great extent, as has been their invariable custom in past years. There were superior exhibits, also, from some who, although members of our Society, have hitherto refrained from gracing our tables, declining to subject themselves to that criticism Somewhat too keen, which breathes through the atmosphere of our Hall, - not always in zephyrs! All such should bear in mind that the storm purifies, if it disturbs, and that stagnation is but the sure precursor of death. A very fine display of Gladiolus, from the Vicks of Rochester, N. Y. The death of whose father is such a recent and sore loss to Horticulture; merits particular notice. There were excellent specimens of the approved varieties; whose names are not recited here, because it would be repeating the catalogue of all that has been found choicest, and best-deserving cultivation. In addition, were Bryant, Brunette, Edwin Booth, Henry Clay, Holmes, Innocence, Longfellow, and Rainbow all which are recent introductions from that celebrated establishment; and of which it is not too much to assert that they are worthy of their origin.
