WAUPACA COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Our society was organized about five years ago. We have over 

 thirty members. We have two regular meetings each year; one in 

 March, at which our officers are chosen, and one in September, for 

 the exhibition of fruits and the discussion of appropriate questions, 

 generally closing with an old fashioned, rural picnic, making it a 

 very desirable meeting for the members and their wives. 



At our March meeting, just held, our president had four varie- 

 ties of his well known seedlings — the Weyauwega, Wrightman, 

 Flora and Wrightman's Blush — all in good condition; all good 

 flavor and hardy. 



Probably no county in the state has beat ours in originating val- 

 uable apples. In addition to those already given, we have the 

 Martha, Rich's Greening, Balch, Albert, and last, but not least, by 

 any means, the Wolf River, a pumpkin in size, but not in flavor. 

 Friend Springer has in his nursery several other seedlings that are 

 fine, and may yet prove formidable rivals to some of our popu- 

 lar kinds. 



The officers of our society for the coming year are: 



President — E. W. Wrightman, Weyauwega. 



Vice President — J. A. Mathews, Weyauwega. 



Secretary — J. Wakefield, Fremont. 



Treasurer — Win. Masters, Royalton. 



Executive Board — W. A. Springer, chairman; O. A. Rich, 

 John Mack. 



Grapes do well in our county, and some valuable kinds are be- 

 ing extensively cultivated. 



Ours is not a climate for plums, and our people have given up 



the idea of wasting money on them. 



J. Wakefield, 



Secretary.
