The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-03-09

spoke briefly OF the advancement made
by horticulturists in recent years.
b. B. Ware of Marblehead, vice pres
idenJ of the Massachusetts, Society
r'a6e a witty speech. He said in sub
stance
How does our society compare with
the Worcester county society? 1t would
be impossible for the massachusetts
Society to get up an affair like this,
the social spirit in Boston is lacking
You are satisfied with your building,
while we, in Boston, at least a portion
of us, wanted to move. There were
members who didn't want to change
and the home sentiment prevailed.
When l was a young man l drove a
two-horse team from Marblehead to
Boston, loaded with cabbages, and in
the latter town met a man from Wor
cester with a one-horse team, who
drove the 40 miles loaded down with
berries and apples, and used to sell
him my cabbages and he would carry
them back over that weary 40-mile
drive. By the way, Marblehead is still
full of cabbage heads, both hard and
soft. You Worcester folks beat us in
everything; you beat us at exhibitions,
and I am proud Of the fact that we
have such thrifty, intelligent children"
