Excerpt from Transactions of the Illinois State Horticultural Society for the Year 1888, Vol. 22: Being the Proceedings of the Thirty-Third Annual Meeting Held at Alton, December 11, 12, 13, Also Proceeding of the Central, Alto-Southern and Northern District Societies, Also Pike County, Kankakee and Warsaw Societies for the Year 1888 To His Excellency Joseph Fifer, Governor of Illinois: I take pleasure in herewith presenting you the twenty-second volume of Transactions of the Illinois State Horticultural Society, and trust that its perusal will convince you that the Legislature has acted wisely in granting us State aid. It is very gratifying to those who have labored long and earnestly to advance the interests of tree planting, fruit growing and home ornamentation and to make this organization the peer of any of its kind in the world, to know that their work is becoming more and more appreciated, and that the demand for the Transactions is ten-fold greater than ten years ago. It is imperatively necessary for the highest welfare of our rural people that this demand be supplied. and our Transactions sent into every Township (and if possible into every farm-house) in the State. To do this of course a larger appropriation will be required, but those who have given the subject careful attention, are convinced that the benefit to the farmers and fruit growers of the State will many times pay the cost.
