Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, for the Year 1888
Our exhibitions were held, throughout the year, in substan tial accordance with the Schedule. Occasionally an important display was deferred, to meet the imperative necessities of the case - notably thus in the matter of the annual rose show. No season is remembered by the veterans on your Committee of Arrangements, wherein an assignment by averages (if it may be so described?) was of such little worth. A flower or fruit was invited upon a specified day; since, for three years out of four one, if not both, had been in perfection at that time. It was of no sort of use, A. D. 1888; everything that grew to assurance of petal, or pulp being seized with a fit of procrastination, and put ting in its appearance some two weeks after its appointed date. Long experience, however, had convinced your Committee of the futility of recasting the schedule to meet temporary exigencies the attempt to do which usually results in making a bad matter worse.
