Committee. 



Mr. L. R. Bryant — The Illinois State Horticultural Society is 

 here by invitation of the citizens o£ Princeton and Bureau county. 

 They come among us to do us good. We should now do something 

 for our own good. This we can do by adding our membership to 

 the Society. 



Mr. S. G. Minkler — This is a missionary work; the members 

 who come among us make this book — (holding up a volume of the 

 Reports) — they do it at a cost to themselves of ten dollars per vol- 

 ume, for every volume they get for their own libraries, and yet they 

 offer it to you for a membership — only one dollar — and they 

 promise you two volumes per member for regular attendance. We 

 need increased membership. We want folks to become more inter- 

 ested in horticultural improvement, and home adornment. 



ARBOR DAY. 



H. M. Dunlap — The committee for Central Illinois recom- 

 mend the second Monday of April for Arbor day. 



Milo Barnard — Is not Saturday more appropriate for the chil- 

 dren ? 



Dr. A. G. Humphrey — All we need to do is to name the time 

 in the month, not too early or too late for our climate.
